A successful claim was made on behalf of Mr. H, a 43-year-old resident of Dunstable. Maria Pilkington, a specialist solicitor in our personal injury department, oversaw the process after Mr. H sustained a fractured clavicle while crossing the road as a pedestrian. He was struck on his left side by a passing car, causing him to flip onto the car’s windscreen before landing on his right side. Shockingly, the driver of the car fled the scene, leaving Mr. H injured and stranded. Despite initial difficulties in obtaining the driver’s details, the police later identified the individual through CCTV footage.
Legal action was initiated against the driver through their insurers, who eventually admitted fault for the accident. To support Mr. H’s claim, a comprehensive medical report was commissioned from an independent Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon. This report detailed our client’s injuries and provided a prognosis for his recovery, incorporating updated X-rays that we had arranged for review. Once all medical evidence was gathered and assessed, negotiations with the defendant’s insurers led to a settlement offer of £5,750 for Mr. H.
