Client Background:
PMcC faced a challenging ordeal after a car accident left him grappling with a whiplash injury to the neck, which according to our appointed medical consultant persisted for a year. Seeking support, PMcC turned to us where Gemma offered invaluable assistance.
Legal Strategy:
Gemma instructed our soft tissue injury specialist who is a Consultant in emergency medicine to gather compelling evidence supporting PMcC’s claim.
Negotiation Process:
Armed with the medicolegal report, we proceeded to negotiations with the Third Party Insurer, advocating fiercely for PMcC’s rights. Despite an initial offer of £14,000, we advised PMcC to stay the course, confident in the strength of their case and the potential for a more favourable outcome.
Triumph and Settlement:
Persistence yielded results. Just 2 and a half weeks prior to Trial, we managed to agree a settlement of £21,855 for PMcC covering his personal injury and car repairs. This victory not only provided just compensation for PMcC’s suffering but also encompassed provisions for free credit hire and car repairs, alleviating their financial burden and facilitating a smoother recovery.
Key Takeaways:
- Comprehensive Documentation: Detailed medical reports and evidence are pivotal in constructing a robust case.
- Trust in Legal Counsel: PMcC trusted our expertise, demonstrating the importance of solicitor-client collaboration.
- Persistence Rewarded: Patience and perseverance led to a significantly higher settlement for PMcC.
