A female passenger injured in a serious road traffic collision secured £362,500 in compensation after liability was accepted by the driver’s insurer. The claim involved orthopaedic and psychiatric assessments and settled early through a joint consultation.
Campbell & Co Solicitors acted on behalf of a female passenger who sustained significant injuries following a serious road traffic collision. The vehicle she was travelling in pulled out into the path of an oncoming vehicle, resulting in a high-impact collision.
Liability for the accident was accepted by the driver’s insurer. The claim proceeded through investigation, medical assessment and early litigation before settling for £362,500 at a joint consultation.
Solicitor with conduct: Michael Donaghy
The claimant was travelling as a passenger when the driver of the vehicle pulled out in front of an oncoming vehicle. The collision resulted in a significant impact and caused serious injuries to the passenger.
Passengers are rarely responsible for road traffic accidents and may be entitled to pursue compensation where another driver is at fault. In this case the driver’s insurer accepted liability early in the claim.
To properly assess the impact of the injuries, medical evidence was obtained from specialist consultants.
While liability was accepted, a writ was issued to protect the claimant’s position and progress the claim through the litigation process.
The case later settled at a joint consultation, allowing the matter to conclude without the need for a full court hearing.
The claim resolved for a total settlement of £362,500, reflecting the injuries sustained and the long-term effects of the accident.
