What’s My Claim Worth were instructed to deal with a claim on behalf of an elite athlete who had been injured when the driver of her vehicle crashed into another vehicle at high speed. She fractured her spine requiring surgery, suffered from significant psychological injury and minor traumatic brain injury. Due to her injuries she was unable to complete her university course and instead began working.
To be able to settle the claim for our client, the solicitor dealing with the claim instructed a number of Experts to examine her and provide medical reports to support the value of the claim. Once medical evidence was concluded, an offer was made to the Defendants Solicitors, after court proceedings had been issued which included a claim for provisional damages. This was based on the risk of our client developing a medical condition due to the accident within a certain number of years. This was rejected by the Defendant’s Insurers and they made a counter offer for a higher amount on the basis no claim be brought for provisional damages. Extensive private rehabilitation was arranged by our team to help our client which was funded by the Defendants Insurers. We were very pleased to settle the claim for a figure in the region of £500,000.
