Modern traffic can be a nightmare to cyclists, with road accidents affecting them happening on an increasing basis. One particular incident stands out involving a cyclist collision with a car whilst navigating a roundabout. This case study explores the successful strategic approach taken by IMD Solicitors to successfully secure a settlement of £55,000 for our client.
Our client, a cyclist, was on their way home from work and had the right of way when a car from another road failed to stop, causing a collision. This resulted in severe injuries, including leg and hip fractures that required surgeries and metal nails.
Our client reached out to us for help in obtaining compensation. The car driver’s insurance company initially tried to argue that our client was to blame. However, we conducted a thorough investigation, gathering multiple pieces of evidence including witness statements and police reports.
Building a Strong Case: The evidence we gathered played a critical role in compelling the insurance company to admit fault, and our approach underscores our commitment to our clients, demonstrating that we are always prepared to go the extra mile to ensure justice.
Empowering the Client: Throughout the legal process, we make sure our clients are kept informed every step of the way. This open communication gave our client a sense of control and understanding, ensuring a positive experience. We believe that informed clients are better equipped to navigate the complexities of legal proceedings.
We always prioritise our client’s well-being. In this case we securing funding for their treatments even while liability was in question, ensuring our client was able to undergo the series of treatments, including surgeries, physiotherapy, and psychological support they needed. Despite some residual symptoms, our client’s recovery improved significantly during the legal process.
To strengthen our position, we obtained a medical report from a qualified expert. Despite initial resistance, our negotiations, backed by strong evidence and expert opinions, resulted in a £55,000 settlement. This not only provided financial compensation but also validated our client’s position and achieved justice. A true testament to dedication and perseverance.
With the settlement secured, our client’s recovery took a positive turn. They were able to return to work, a significant milestone in their rehabilitation. Our client’s satisfaction with the outcome demonstrates the real impact of our legal efforts, extending beyond monetary compensation to genuine rehabilitation. It was a moment of triumph for both our client and our legal team.
This case helps demonstrate our expertise in handling personal injury cases, securing a £55,000 settlement for a cyclist in a challenging situation.
