In 2024, the Claimant navigated a crossing on a mobility scooter when the defendant struck the Claimant down, failing to notice them. This forceful collision resulted with the Claimant being thrown to the ground.
The vigorous impact caused a fracture of the lumbar vertebrae, leading to painful symptoms lasting up to 2 years. Beyond this period, any symptoms that are deemed ongoing were more likely to stem from underlying conditions rather than the accident itself.
Following the incident, the Claimant turned to Forbes Solicitors to pursue a claim for the injury they had endured. When Forbes Solicitors initially contacted the Defendant, the insurers primarily denied liability, but the situation shifted when the Defendant was convicted of driving without due care.
Faced with potential legal proceedings, the insurers admitted liability. This paved the way for the Claimant to secure a £10,000 settlement by John Bennett, one of Forbes Solicitors Personal Injury expert solicitors.
