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.

"If it wasn’t for Farley Dwek we would not have had the money paid back and as a family we’ll be eternally grateful for their knowledge, experience and professionalism in guiding us through the extremely complex world of care home fees and the NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding."

Geoffrey Matthews

"Farley Dwek persevered in a very old and difficult case on my behalf and were successful through tenacity and a refusal to give up, along with an in depth knowledge of the subject matter."

CHC client

"Honest, straight-talking, knowledgeable solicitors. I contacted Farley Dwek via their online ‘contact us’ form regarding my father’s eligibility for NHS continuing care. I knew they were experts in the field and I had already paid for and downloaded their excellent guide on the subject. Despite the fact that it became quickly obvious that there was no case for them in this instance, Ruth still gave me close to an hour of her time and was compassionate, extremely knowledgeable and also willing to give me an honest, off-the-cuff appraisal of our situation and chances of receiving funding."

CHC client

"Without Farley Dwek's encouragement and perseverance, I don’t think that I would have proceeded with the claim, nor would it have resulted in such a successful outcome without their professional input at every stage. Their attention to detail, care and support throughout this process has been exemplary."

Ronald

"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."
