Other party's insurers end up paying more than offer to settle
Andrew Daniels, Norfolk
What we did
After receiving instructions to act on behalf of Mr Daniels we quickly obtained an admission of liability from the other party's insurance company and arranged for Mr Daniels to receive physiotherapy, the cost of which was included in the claim.
Within three months of being instructed we'd already got a medical report from an independent expert, forwarded it to Mr Daniels for approval, and then disclosed the report to the other party's insurers with an offer to settle.
The insurers made their own offer to settle, refused to increase this figure, and so court proceedings were issued.
We handled the case efficiently throughout the court process and kept Mr Daniels informed about progress. We also continued to try and negotiate with the other party, but to no avail. The case was therefore taken to a final court hearing, and the award of damages made by the judge was more than the other party's insurers had offered.
The case is now being reported on Lawtel and can be used in future as a precedent case for any accidents involving similar injuries.
