Siobhan McIvor, accredited Personal Injury Solicitor and Partner at Osbornes Law, has settled a case at a Settlement Meeting with her opponent in the sum of £380,000.
The Claimant, who was hit by a scooter crossing the road, suffered some nasty injuries, including the complete loss of sight of an eye, a traumatic brain injury which left her with some ongoing minor cognitive issues, and various orthopaedic injuries.
The insurers initially tried to deny liability but eventually conceded their insured was at fault, further to the persistence of Osbornes Law in insisting they were 100% liable.
Osbornes Law ensured the Claimant received extensive rehabilitation to aid her recovery, funded by the scooter’s insurance company. It ensured the Claimant was provided for financially during the course of her claim through substantial interim payments made by the insurers.
The scooter’s insurers tried to buy the Claimant off with various offers ranging from £50,000 to £230,000, which, on Osbornes Law’s advice, the Claimant rejected. The Claimant was delighted with the outcome of the Settlement Meeting and is looking forward to getting on with her life save in the knowledge she is financially secure. Siobhan mentioned that she is delighted to be able to provide the claimant with such an opportunity.
