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.

"Through out my dealings with Farley Dwek I found them to be efficient and very helpful. But above all their honesty impressed me the most. Never have come across an organisation that would put ethics before profit. For this alone I would highly recommend them."

"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."

Brian Marshall

"Andrew had a high degree of expertise in this field and was able to offer practical advice on how best to prepare an evidenced based case. He was also able to identify areas where the framework had been incorrectly applied. With this expert knowledge and guidance, we were successful in our appeal and the original recommendation of the DST was overturned. Our mother was awarded full CHC funding, backdated with payments refunded. The best £300 we ever spent!"

Jane

"From first contact with the managing partner Andrew Farley and Ruth Pople, Senior Case Manager , Farley Dwek appeared to be a very well organised Law firm. The staff is very professional and takes all the time to explain sometimes complicated situations."

CHC client

"Thanks to Andrew’s guidance, we were able to articulate and feedback our reservations to the CHC and they ended up ruling in our favour. We therefore did not end up having to formally instruct Farley Dwek for representation but our impression was that they were an exemplary firm with judicious invested leadership and noble ethics."
