Miss A’s Story

We helped with

Road Traffic Accident

Farley Dwek Solicitors represented Miss A. who was involved in a nasty road traffic accident in a built up residential area near her home.

She was a rear seat passenger with her newborn baby. Her stationary car had pulled out of a parking space and was waiting for a car in the distance, approaching from the opposite direction, to pass by.

However, the other driver was clearly not paying attention and drove at speed, straight into Miss A’s car. The other driver made no attempt to brake, swerve or avoid the collision. They had simply failed to see Miss A’s car ahead. It was alleged the driver was distracted using his phone whilst driving. Miss A was not expecting the impact. The force of the collision took the near side wheel clean off Miss A’s car.

As as a result, Miss A suffered significant injury to her neck and intense headaches together with trauma, shock and anxiety which necessitated both physiotherapy and psychological treatment.

The third party insurers denied liability, blaming Miss A’s driver for causing an obstruction – even though the gap left by her stationary car was large enough for the third party to pass by safely had the driver been paying attention and going at a slower speed more suitable for the road. When the other party refused to make any offers to settle Miss A’s claim, it became necessary to issue court proceedings to advance her claim.

Miss A. successfully recovered over £10,000 for her physical and psychological injuries.

My family and I cannot rate Farley Dwek Solicitors high enough for all their work in helping us with a successful appeal to grant my father CHC in his care home. As soon as I contacted them I felt listened to and supported and our solicitor Debbie was nothing short of incredible.

I feel like the presence of Farley Dwek in the process was the key factor in our family securing the funding and saving £1,400 per week in care home fees for the BUPA hospital that we had chosen. To say we are pleased with Farley Dwek is an understatement. We’ve been absolutely delighted with everything the team has done and would recommend any family in the same circumstances speak directly to them to give them the best chance of getting the funding.

Mr Barrow

Without Farley Dwek’s support we wouldn’t have secured the funding. Soon after we presented our case with Farley Dwek we were informed by the NHS that my mother was entitled to the funding after all. It was a huge relief because the size of the care home fees can be a huge worry.

A sound investment! I had researched a number of firms offering assistance to help secure CHC funding for our Mum. I was very glad I chose Farley Dwek. Both my brother and I are retired solicitors and are able plough our way through regulatory material and legislation, However, neither of us had any experience in this area of law. I really appreciated Farley Dwek’s transparent and sensible advice. I would recommend doing the initial screening exercise with one of their nurses, we had the excellent Diane Jenkins for screening (and eventual support at the MDT).

CHC client

You don’t need any more worry about how to come up with the money at a time when you are trying to cope with the emotion and distress of trying to get the best care possible for loved ones. This needs sorting out and I’m glad Farley Dwek is on my side and helping through the process.
