Can I Claim For Anxiety After A Car Accident?

Can I Claim For Anxiety After A Car Accident?A recent case that we helped with, our client who was struck by another vehicle to the side of his vehicle as he was going around a roundabout. The other vehicle had struck the driver’s side and he saw the other vehicle coming directly towards him. He was very upset after the accident and could not get the image of the headlights of the other vehicle coming directly towards him out of his head. In that case we obtained an orthopaedic report which assisted with showing his physical injuries to their neck and shoulder. We then sent that report to the insurance company and they made an offer of £4,000 in settlement.

It was clear that our client was still suffering badly from psychiatric upset after the accident and had been to his GP a number of times.  We obtained a report from a consultant psychiatrist which we also then sent to the insurance company. After they received the psychiatric report they increased the offer to £10,000 in full settlement which our client accepted. He was happy to conclude his case for a total settlement of £10,000.

Our expert always ensure that in any claim for compensation that you are able to keep 100% of your compensation. We do not take any percentage of your compensation claim that you are entitled to. We ensure that you receive 100% of the compensation.

In that case our client received £10,000.  His legal costs and medical reports were paid by the insurance company separately.  This ensured that our client got his full £10,000 settlement.
