Our client was a passenger in his father’s vehicle at the time of the incident. They were stationary in a queue of traffic, when a vehicle being driven by a third party collided with the rear of the vehicle he was travelling in.
Our client sustained an injury to his neck and shoulder and suffered from travel anxiety, a fear of travel and flashbacks along with hypervigilance for a period of time following the incident. Our client underwent cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) treatment arranged by the third-party insurers to assist with his recovery.
We intimated a claim upon the third-party insurers, who responded to confirm that liability was admitted for the incident.
We recovered a copy of our client’s medical records and instructed medical examinations both with an Independent GP and a Psychologist for the purposes of preparing reports commenting on our client’s physical and psychological symptoms.
Once this had been received and our client’s CBT treatment had concluded, we forwarded all the relevant documentation to the third-party insurers.
The third-party insurers responded with an offer and our client’s claim settled for £5,500.
