Our personal injury team settled a claim for a doctor after she was driving her vehicle and was hit from behind. Her dogs were in the car, and she was terrified they had also been injured. Our client sustained an ankle injury and aggravated pre-existing wrist and shoulder pain. She also injured her index finger.
The claim was presented to the defendant’s insurers, and they raised causation from an early point. They argued our client could not have been injured because of the accident and because of this the solicitor dealing with the claim had to issue court proceedings.
One of the points raised by the defendant’s insurers was that it had been a significant period of time since the accident occurred before our client made the claim. The solicitor dealing with the claim reminded the defendants insurers that our client had 3 years from the accident to make the claim.
This was a difficult case due to our client’s pre-existing problems, however settlement was achieved in the sum of £5,300 which was more than our client was expecting so she was very happy with the outcome.
