META DESCRIPTION: Pearson's Road Traffic Accident Solicitors in Oldham successfully secures compensation after a RTA Head Injury was sustained by client. £22,000 Compensation for RTA Head Injury £22,000 Compensation for RTA Head Injury In this RTA case, our client was on a night out in Oldham when he was in a Road Traffic Accident (RTA) after being struck by a taxi. The Claimant sustained a head injury and losses due to the road traffic accident which occurred as he was walking between pubs in Oldham town centre. Road Traffic Accident Compensation Claim He was initially offered a £2,000 settlement for his head injuries but upon reviewing the case we strongly advised him against accepting the initial settlement due to his injuries. After rejecting the initial settlement our Personal Injury Solicitors fought the case for him, eventually settling out of court for £22,634.50 which included a small claim for loss of earnings and a minor claim for incidental expenses. The RTA Claimant Our client, was a 57 year old man who had been watching football and had arranged to meet a friend afterwards in another pub across the road. The client remembers crossing the main road in Oldham but he does not remember the impact with the Defendant’s private hire vehicle. Fortunately for him there was a witness who happened to record the incident on his phone which assisted greatly with establishing liability for the Claimant. He was bleeding from a head wound and had to be helped by a passerby before being taken to the Royal Oldham Hospital where he was kept overnight for observations of the head injury. In addition to his head injury, he also suffered severe back pain and an injury to his knee. “Every case is a unique set of circumstances and when my client was examined by our medical expert 3 months after the accident he confirmed that he had recovered from his back and knee injuries by 4 weeks post- accident but his head injury had resulted in not only scarring but a loss of concentration.
