Phoebe was driving down a County Antrim road when another vehicle pulled out from a side street and collided with the side of her vehicle. The impact of the collision was so forceful that Phoebe’s car was written off. In addition, she suffered soft-tissue injuries to her neck and shoulder which are consistent with whiplash.
The injuries impacted Phoebe’s ability to carry out everyday tasks such as exercising and chores around the home. Phoebe also suffered psychologically from the accident and struggled with anxiety for a period thereafter.
The driver of the other vehicle admitted liability at the scene of the accident.
Phoebe contacted us shortly after. She had the benefit of a free initial consultation with Harry McAleese and went on to instruct him with her case.
As liability was not disputed, we were able to obtain a prompt interim payment for the pre-accident value of her vehicle from the insurance company.
Harry then obtained a medical report from a Consultant in Emergency Medicine and a Consultant Psychiatrist. He then issued proceedings in the County Court and a hearing date was set.
However, a week prior to the hearing, the matter settled for £20,000.
