CH Solicitors recently acted on behalf of Philip, a pedestrian who sustained life-altering injuries after being struck by a vehicle while crossing the road in Belfast. Despite a disputed liability position and allegations of contributory negligence, we secured a settlement of £750,000 prior to a High Court hearing.
Solicitor with conduct: Michael Donaghy, Director
Philip was struck by a car while lawfully crossing the road in Belfast. The driver denied fault and alleged that he contributed to the collision.
Given the seriousness of the injuries, Director Michael Donaghy ensured that detailed evidence gathering and specialist medical reporting were progressed to fully assess the long-term impact on Philip’s life.
Liability was disputed from the outset. Michael Donaghy challenged allegations of contributory negligence using witness evidence, police documentation and expert analysis, ensuring Philip’s position was robustly protected.
Philip required multiple independent medical assessments addressing both physical injuries and psychological trauma. These reports were critical in valuing the claim accurately and reflecting future care needs.
High Court proceedings were issued under the direction of Michael Donaghy to protect Philip’s claim and strengthen settlement negotiations. The case settled for £750,000 shortly before a full hearing.
