Specialist lawyer Allison Pepper, settled a claim for our client, an elite athlete, who required surgery after fracturing her spine, when the driver of her vehicle crashed into another vehicle at high speed.
This incident resulted in significant psychological trauma and minor traumatic brain injury for our client, impeding her ability to complete her university studies and prompting her to enter the workforce prematurely.
To substantiate the value of the claim, our legal team enlisted the expertise of several medical professionals to evaluate our client and provide comprehensive reports.
After medical evidence was concluded, an offer, including provisional damages, was made to the defendant’s solicitors after court proceedings had been issued. The offer 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 counteroffer for a higher amount on the basis no claim be brought for provisional damages.
In response, our team facilitated extensive private rehabilitation for our client, financed by the defendant’s insurers, to aid in her recovery. Through diligent negotiation, a settlement was ultimately reached for an amount approximately totalling £500,000.
