Six-figure settlement for young mum on school run knocked over by a motorcyclist
Siobhan McIvor, Partner in the Personal Injury Department, has secured a six-figure settlement for a young mother who was knocked over by a motorcyclist on her way to pick up her son from school, sustaining nasty injuries as a result.
The personal touch
Siobhan visited the claimant at home as soon as the claimant felt up to speaking about the accident/her injuries. The claimant commented that as soon as she spoke to Siobhan, she knew she had made the right choice of solicitor, she felt in safe hands – Siobhan “really listened” and “believed her”, which immediately made her feel better.
Interim payments
Siobhan was able to secure early interim payments for the claimant to help ease the inevitable financial difficulties which follow an accident where the claimant is unable to work.
Early rehabilitation
Siobhan was also able to secure the assistance of a specialist rehabilitation company who provided a robust and comprehensive rehabilitation program the cost of which treatment Siobhan ensured was recovered from the motorcyclist’s insurance company.
Maximising the claimant’s compensation
Siobhan instructed medico-legal experts to prepare detailed and comprehensive reports confirming the injuries sustained, and ensured all available evidence was obtained to prove the claimant’s financial losses.
Once settlement negotiations began, Siobhan was able to persuade the insurers, in a short period of time, to increase on their initial settlement offer by a substantial sum.
Siobhan comments
“The impact of this accident on my client, an innocent pedestrian, was enormous. I was privileged to pursue her compensation claim for her, ensuring we secured the absolute maximum settlement possible without the need for stressful, long drawn-out legal proceedings. It was also gratifying to be able to ensure she had access to early privately funded medical interventions to help aid her recovery, which would not have been available for her on our over stretched NHS.
My client was tempted to accept the insurer’s first settlement offer however in the end she accepted my advice to push for a higher award which I was very happy to be able to secure for her”.
My client know she had both a sympathetic ear she could call on every step along the way and that she had a legal team who would fight her corner in the most robust way possible.
