Our client was a passenger in a road traffic accident.
A pedestrian’s dog ran onto the road, causing the vehicle in which our client was a passenger to emergency stop. A third-party vehicle then collided with the rear of our client’s vehicle.
Our client suffered from psychological injuries and sustained injuries to her back and knee.
Unfortunately, our client’s dog was in the vehicle and sustained significant back and leg injuries. Our client’s dog needed emergency treatment, the costs alone reached £3,000.
