Road Traffic Accidents

Ms Pearson was 17 years old when she was involved in a road traffic accident. She was a passenger in a car which crashed because the driver was going too fast. She suffered serious head injuries which affected her memory and her ability to concentrate. The injuries affected her empoyability and meant that she was unable to pursue her chosen career. Case Direct raised a court action on behalf of Ms Pearson but the case did not have to go to trial as the driver's insurers agreed to pay her compensation of £77,000.

Mr Henderson was only 17 and had recently passed his driving test when he had a serious road traffic accident. Another driver failed to stop at a junction resulting in a head on collision which caused back and facial injuries to our client. He missed an important football trial and his school exams. Case Direct organised a hired car until the other driver’s insurance company forwarded payment for a replacement car. The insurers paid Mr Naysmith £8,000 compensation for the road traffic accident without the need to go to court.
