Our team here at What’s My Claim Worth settled a claim for a cyclist who was hit by a taxi driver from the rear after after an altercation had seemingly taken place between the driver and our client. The Solicitor dealing with the claim submitted details of the collision to the taxi drivers insurance company. Liability {responsibility} was denied throughout, despite there being CCTV evidence clearly showing that the driver was at fault. The team also obtained witness statements from people who blamed the driver. Paperwork was drafted ready to issue court proceedings as soon as medical evidence from a specialist General Practitioner was obtained. Following numerous calls to the Defendant’s Insurers, they finally conceded there was no reasonable prospect of themselves successfully arguing they were not at fault and they made an offer to settle the claim for a 9 month injury to the neck and damage to our clients bike and other financial losses. The claim was settled for £4,150.00 without the need for to issue court proceedings.
