Hodge Jones & Allen

Our client was waiting at traffic lights when her car was hit from behind by another vehicle whose driver had failed to observe the red light and stationery traffic. Our client's car was shunted forward, hitting the car in front of her.

Our client sustained injuries to her neck and shoulder and her whiplash symptoms troubled her for some months following the accident.

Both our client and the driver in front of her claimed against the driver of the vehicle that crashed into our client. Liability was promptly admitted by the defendant's representatives. It was decided that a full expert report was unnecessary.

As a result of our representation, our client was awarded damages of £1,250.00 due to her injuries (General Damages) and a further £750 relating to the damage caused to her car and her financial loss on the sale of her vehicle after the accident (Special Damages).
