Background: Our client, a rear seat passenger in a car travelling on the motorway, was struck from behind by an uninsured driver under the influence of drugs. This collision resulted in spinal fractures to the cervical and lumbar spine, along with psychological sequelae.

Incident: We collaborated with the Defendant’s solicitor to secure an early admission of liability. This allowed for a without prejudice exchange of evidence, minimizing costs and ensuring efficient case progression.

Support and Rehabilitation: Our client, a qualified social worker, benefited from early rehabilitation secured under the Rehabilitation Code, enabling a return to work. We also arranged ongoing counselling and therapy to address their fear of driving post-accident.

Outcome: The case was successfully settled through negotiation, providing our client with the necessary support to rebuild their life after the accident.

Our client had the following to say about our service:

“I would like to say a huge thank you to Fran Ibson and the team at SJP.

I was involved in a serious road traffic accident on the motor way and as a consequence of this fractured my neck and lower spine.

Fran visited me at home to discuss the claim. She was supportive and was able to put me in contact with professional support to aid my recovery.

The team has ensured I was informed at every stage through the claim. They supported me to access appointments which were not in the local area.

Fran was compassionate and listened to everything. Julie Parker Occupational Therapist has also been very supportive in helping me attend appointments and providing support and advice for the future.

Not that I would ever want anyone to go through what I have but if they needed specialist support from a legal team I would definitely recommend using SJP law.

Thank you so much for all of your help in this difficult time.”
