Kevin was the front seat passenger in a work vehicle whilst at work for a recycling company. His vehicle had stopped at the side of the road to deal with a query from a customer. Unfortunately, the driver of the car behind Kevin’s parked vehicle became impatient and mounted the footpath in an attempt to overtake. Whilst manoeuvring, the car crashed into Kevin’s work vehicle with force.
Vehicle Passenger Accident Injuries
As a result of this accident Kevin was immediately shaken. He subsequently developed pain in his right side, shoulder, neck and lower back. Liability for the accident was quickly admitted by the other driver’s insurer. Kevin was off work for a period of approximately 7 months as a result of his injuries.
Kevin contacted Paschal O’Hare Solicitors

Negotiations were undertaken and Kevin’s whiplash claim settled in the sum of £8,375 which included loss of wages.
