Case Study: Road Traffic Accident - £237,000
Road Traffic Accidents can cause significant physical and emotional harm, impacting someone's life in numerous ways. This case study details how SB Lawyers assisted Miss H in recovering £237,000 in compensation after a serious Road Traffic Accident.
Miss H's experience - PTSD after accident and a brain injury claim
Miss H sustained multiple injuries in a Road Traffic Accident, including broken bones, dental damage, scarring, and a brain injury. The accident also led to the development of a phobia of travelling in vehicles, which significantly disrupted her daily routine and hindered her recovery.
Our approach as Miss H's personal injury solicitor
Following the accident, we undertook a thorough investigation, which included a police reconstruction of the incident to establish liability.
The defendant's insurance company subsequently conceded liability. To fully document the extent of Miss H's injuries, we obtained detailed medical reports from specialists in orthopaedic surgery, ENT surgery, neurosurgery, and plastic surgery.
Based on these medical assessments, surgery was recommended for some of her injuries. We secured an interim payment from the insurers to cover the costs of these procedures, allowing Miss H to receive timely treatment.
We also recognised the significant psychological impact of the accident and facilitated access to counselling to address her travel phobia. This therapy played a key role in her overall recovery.
Settlement negotiations - the Road Traffic Accident Claim
A major point of negotiation with the insurers concerned Miss H's ability to return to work. The insurers initially argued that her injuries did not prevent her from working.
However, our medical evidence clearly indicated that she would likely be unable to return to work for 2-3 years following the accident.
Through careful negotiation and by presenting compelling medical evidence, we reached a settlement that included compensation for two years of lost earnings, as well as damages for her injuries, medical treatment, rehabilitation, and the care provided by her family and friends.
The result - RTA compensation
We successfully secured a total settlement of £237,000 for Miss H. This compensation provided crucial financial support to aid her recovery and allow her to rebuild her life.
Miss H suffered severe injuries, including broken bones, a brain injury, and PTSD, after a road traffic accident. SB Lawyers secured £237,000 in compensation, helping her access vital treatment and rebuild her life after this traumatic experience.
Miss L's initial whiplash injury following a bus accident developed into debilitating fibromyalgia. SB Lawyers fought for her right to compensation, securing a £189,000 settlement to support her ongoing needs.
Mr. W sustained multiple injuries after falling through faulty scaffolding at his workplace. SB Lawyers successfully resolved a complicated dispute involving multiple parties responsible for the scaffolding, securing a substantial award of £317,000.
