Case Study - Road Traffic Accident

Case Study Type – Road Traffic Accident
Solicitor involved – James F. Fitzpatrick
Location – Belfast

D and P were involved in a traumatic road traffic accident that left them both with physical injuries and a deeply unsettling experience. Frances strongly challenged the third-party insurers’ initial claims, which wrongly suggested that the fault lay with our clients. After a thorough review, the insurers eventually admitted liability.

However, their initial offer of £1,500 and £2,000 did not reflect the true extent of the injuries and distress experienced by D and P. Frances advised against accepting these inadequate sums and recommended pursuing court proceedings.

Through diligent negotiation prior to the hearing, we achieved a significantly improved settlement of £13,000 and £16,000 for D and P respectively. Both clients were immensely relieved and delighted with the final outcome, which not only provided fair compensation but also spared them the ordeal of a court appearance.
