At Oliver & Co Solicitors, we recently secured £60,000 in compensation for a client who suffered serious injuries in a road traffic accident after the truck they were travelling in was struck from behind and overturned onto its side.
Although the other party admitted responsibility for the collision at an early stage, the full extent of our client’s injuries only became clear as time passed. What initially appeared to be a straightforward road traffic accident claim developed into a case involving ongoing pain, psychological symptoms and financial losses.
The Injuries Sustained
Our client suffered a significant lower back injury, together with neck and knee injuries. They also experienced travel anxiety following the accident, making it difficult to travel with confidence and affecting everyday life.
The back injury had the greatest impact, causing ongoing pain, restricting mobility and affecting our client’s ability to work comfortably. As a result, the claim needed to reflect not only the physical injuries but also the long-term financial consequences, including the effect on future earning capacity.
How We Helped
Our experienced personal injury solicitors worked closely with our client throughout the claim, providing clear advice and regular updates while gathering the evidence needed to support the case.
We obtained independent medical evidence to assess the long-term impact of the injuries and prepared detailed evidence of our client’s financial losses, including the effect the accident had on their employment and future earnings.
By presenting a comprehensive picture of how the injuries had affected every aspect of our client’s life, we were able to negotiate a settlement that properly reflected both their immediate and future losses.
The Outcome
Following negotiations with the insurer, we secured £60,000 in compensation for our client.
The settlement recognised the pain and suffering caused by the injuries, together with the ongoing impact the accident had on daily life, employment and future financial security.
