£285,000.00 compensation in a case taken over from another firm of solicitors

The claim was commenced in the MOJ portal by our client’s former solicitors. MOJ Portal is a system where claims under the value of £25,000.00 are placed, designed for low value claims, but this procedure is not suitable for complex cases worth more than £25,000.00, such as cases where the injured person undertakes various surgeries as was the case for our client.

The client who was riding her bicycle sustained a serious injury to her knee when a car emerged from a side road and struck her bicycle from behind, causing our client to fall and suffer injuries.

Our client was in crutches for 2 years and returned to work in a reduced capacity 3 years later but has not returned to cycling due to the psychological symptoms. Our client’s symptoms were permanent, and so she was deemed to be “disabled” within the definition set out in the Disability Discrimination Act 1995.

Any experienced personal injury lawyer would know that a seriously injured knee may mean problems with work in the future and so such claim would not be suitable for the low value claims protocol.

Levenes will always fight to claim the highest compensation possible

Liability was admitted and as such we requested various interim payments from the insurer in order to support our client financially due to her inability to work for a period of 3 years and 3 surgeries that our client underwent.

As soon as the medical evidence was finalised, the negotiations started. The insurers made “valid offers” and although their last offer was of £250,000.00, our lawyer, Anamaria Nita who is head of the Romanian team, managed to negotiate a further increase of £35,000.00.

Just to illustrate the significance of instructing the right firm of solicitors in a situation like this. When the previous solicitors submitted this claim as a low value claim, fortunately for our client she instructed us to take over the claim, but one can only imagine what could have happened if she stayed with his previous solicitors.

Levenes Solicitors, with their dedication and expertise, ensured that our client received the compensation she deserved. This successful resolution allowed our client to focus on her recovery and rebuild her life after the accident.

Many years of experience in acting for the benefit of the victims of serious accidents

Although, the Court proceedings were issued and whilst there was a possibility that the client would have to attend court, at least 95% of cases settle without the need for a trial as so did our client’s case.
