In York, Pryers solicitors recently represented a claimant who was involved in a road traffic accident as a passenger.  He was in a vehicle being driven by a friend who lost control of his car and collided with an oncoming vehicle.  As a result of the accident the claimant suffered a whiplash type injury to his neck and lost the enjoyment of a pre-arranged holiday in America that started just two days after the accident.

Although liability for the accident was accepted, the insurers attempted to undervalue the claim offering the claimant just £1650.

We had valued the claim at £2800 and as the insurers would not improve upon the offer the claim went to trial.

The claimant was successful and the Court awarded him £2802.50 and his legal costs.
