Our specialist personal injury solicitors at What’s My Claim Worth recently secured compensation for our client following the tragic and distressing incident that took place during a public parade in Liverpool on 26 May 2025.
This was an extremely sensitive case involving both physical and psychological injuries suffered in frightening and traumatic circumstances. Throughout the claim, our priority was to ensure our client received not only expert legal support, but also access to the care and rehabilitation they needed during recovery.
What Happened
Our client had attended the parade in Liverpool city centre when a vehicle unexpectedly entered Water Street, an area which had been closed to traffic, and drove towards members of the public.
In the chaos that followed, our client’s companion pushed them out of the vehicle’s path in an effort to prevent more serious injury. In doing so, our client was knocked to the ground and injured during the incident.
The Injuries
As a result of the accident, our client suffered soft tissue injuries to their lower back and hand. However, the impact of the incident extended beyond the physical injuries alone.
Given the traumatic nature of the events, our client also experienced significant emotional distress and psychological symptoms following the incident, which affected their wellbeing and day-to-day life.
Supporting Our Client’s Recovery
We acted quickly to obtain expert medical evidence to fully assess the extent of our client’s injuries and ensure the claim was properly supported.
Recognising the psychological impact the incident had on our client, we also arranged access to counselling and rehabilitation treatment at an early stage of the claim, with the costs covered by the defendant’s insurers. Securing timely support and treatment formed an important part of helping our client through their recovery.
The Outcome
The claim was successfully resolved without the need for court proceedings, securing compensation in excess of £8,000 for our client.
This case highlights the importance of obtaining specialist legal advice following traumatic incidents, particularly where both physical and psychological injuries are involved. Our experienced personal injury team worked sensitively and proactively throughout the claim to ensure our client received the support, rehabilitation, and compensation they deserved.
