Our client, a woman in her 70s, was out cycling when she was hit by a vehicle pulling out from a side road, resulting in a life-changing traumatic brain injury. She experienced word-finding difficulties, memory loss, severe depression and anxiety, suicidal ideation and extreme delirium. The client suffered a significant loss of independence and relied on family for additional care and support.
The case was handled by Partner and Solicitor, Claire Hutchinson who secured a substantial package of professional support. Despite allegations of contributory negligence and arguments surrounding the client’s life expectancy, Claire successfully recovered a settlement of £400,000, double the defendant’s initial offer.
