January 2008
Offer of £1,350 Increased to £2,700 Plus Interest at Hearing - Ms L, Chester.
Our client was involved in a rear end shunt collision. She sustained a soft tissue injury to her neck and back and had 8 weeks off work. The 1stClaims solicitor arranged private physiotherapy treatment to help Ms L's recovery.
After medical examination a prognosis was given for a full recovery in 5 months after the accident. An offer was received for £1350 which Ms L was advised to reject. The insurers refused to increase from their very low offer so court proceedings were issued. An offer made by our solicitors to them was rejected, so when a settlement hearing took place and our solicitors obtained an award of compensation of twice the initial offer, not only was Ms L awarded interest on top of the £2,700 but the other side were also ordered to pay additional legal costs as a consequence of not making a reasonable offer to settle.
Mr I Ali, Wembley
Mr A was a a passenger in his brother's car in June 2006 when another driver reversed into their car as they were parking. He suffered whiplash injury's to his neck, shoulder and the small of his back.
He had physiotherapy treatment and his symptoms continued for 10 months.
He received £1,000 in settlement of his claim which was settled without medical evidence as Mr A left England to return home to Somali.
