Pedestrian sustains a traumatic brain injury

Our Client was struck by a vehicle which knocked him against a wall and dragged him for ten meters under the vehicle. Our client suffered from multiple injuries including a TBI requiring a craniotomy, extensive scarring, fractured nose, soft tissue issues and psychological symptoms. He required significant care from his partner.

Liability was admitted early and we obtained £40,000 in interim payments for our client to help with his rehabilitation. A case manager was appointed and helped our client with his treatment which included appointments with psychologists, occupational therapists and a speech and language therapy.

It was necessary to issue court proceedings and eventually after disclosure of expert reports from a neurological, neuropsychological and orthopaedic expert, our client accepted an offer of £175,000 to settle his case.

Our Client receives £130,000 in compensation after serious road traffic accident

Our client was sitting in his stationary car when a vehicle collided into the rear of his vehicle with considerable force and shunted him into the vehicle in front. As a result of the impact our client sustained various injuries including a serious head injury, fractured clavicle and eye and facial injuries. Our client was transported to hospital where he was admitted as an inpatient to the neurological department for treatment.

At an early stage, the defendant insurers put forward an offer of £12000 to settle the case without an admission of liability. This was rejected by our client and we proceeded to obtain expert reports from an orthopaedic, ENT Surgeon, Psychologist and Maxillofacial surgeon.

The defendant insurers put forward a further offer of £75,000 upon receipt of the medical evidence. The offer was still low and therefore we issued Court Proceedings and eventually our client accepted an offer of £130,000 to enable him to put the accident behind him and move on with his life.
