How the Accident Happened on Andersonstown Road
Susan, a nurse, contacted JMK Solicitors after sustaining injuries in a road traffic accident while driving her car along the Andersonstown Road during rush hour.
As she approached a yellow box junction, traffic came to a standstill. While her vehicle was stationary, it was suddenly struck from behind by another driver. At the scene, the other driver apologised and accepted full responsibility.
How Our West Belfast Personal Injury Solicitors Handled the Claim
Susan contacted JMK Solicitors shortly after the incident. Our specialist personal injury team, led by Wendy McIntosh, managed the claim from the outset to ensure Susan received fair compensation for both her physical injuries and emotional distress
- Evidence Review: We reviewed photographic evidence taken by Susan at the scene, documenting the positions of the vehicles and the damage sustained to her car.
- Medical Assessment: Based on Susan’s symptoms Wendy arranged for Expert medical reports which documented Susan’s straining type injury to her neck, upper back and shoulder
- Psychological Impact: Recognising that Susan felt significantly more anxious and wary while driving, we included a psychiatric component in the claim to reflect the true severity of the incident.
- Vehicle Recovery: As Susan requires her vehicle at all times as she was the main carer for a family member, we coordinated with specialist services to ensure her vehicle damage was managed and that she remained on the road.
- Expert Negotiation: Liability was pursued with the third-party insurer and through expert negotiation, we were able to settle the case successfully for £11,500 without the need for Susan to go to court.
