Collision With Parked Cars

I represented a Claimant who was the passenger in a vehicle which collided with a number of parked vehicles at speed.

The Claimant suffered extensive injuries including head injury, fractured ribs, PTSD and pain to neck, shoulder, back and knees.

The Defendant offered to settle the claim at £5,486.90 inclusive of the Claimant’s claim for expenses. I considered this offer so low I withdrew from negotiations and issued proceedings.

At the hearing which the Claimant was not required to attend, the judge awarded the Claimant damages at £14,155.45. This settlement includes an award for the injury, expenses and interest.
