Mr R was injured in a road traffic accident when he collided with a third party vehicle that had driven through a red light. The Claimant suffered whiplash injuries and an injury to his knee having struck it on the steering column of his vehicle. An initial offer of £1,500.00 in damages was made by the Insurance Company. Final damages have recently been agreed in the sum of £32,500.00.
Thomas Rees of Martyn Prowel Solicitors stated “this was a fantastic settlement for Mr R. The Defendants Insurers initially contacted Mr R following the accident and had offered him £1,500.00 in full and final settlement of his claim. Luckily for Mr R he did not accept the offer and immediately contacted us. We rejected the offer and arranged for him to be examined by an expert. Mr R had suffered injuries to his knee which will require an operation in the future. Mr R would not have been aware of this had he not been examined by an appropriate expert. We were also successful in recovering past and future loss of earnings together with the cost of medical treatment.”
Mr R said, “I am so happy I instructed Martyn Prowel Solicitors. I was nearly going to accept their offer of £1500.00.”
