At Pedestrian Law Scotland, we intimated a claim on Tom’s behalf to the insurance company of the driver. Liability was admitted early.
Tom made a good recovery from his physical injuries but could not face running on the road following the incident. He suffered flashbacks of the incident. Running had been such a huge part of Tom’s daily life prior to the incident. We recognised that Tom was suffering psychologically and instructed a Clinical Psychologist.
Tom was diagnosed as suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. He was recommended a course of EMDR and CBT treatment. We ensured that the treatment that Tom required was funded privately by the third party insurers. By doing this, it allowed Tom to ensure he had full access to the treatment that he required to aid his recovery. We ensured Tom was offered the best care and support.
Once Tom had made a good recovery from his injuries, settlement was achieved with the third party insurers.
WHAT WE DO
At Pedestrian Law Scotland, we recognise how important exercise can be to an individual’s life. Tom not only used running as a form of exercise but also as a stress reliever. It was a key aspect in his life.
Being involved in an incident which leads to an avoidance of running can be extremely frustrating. We worked closely with a psychologist to ensure Tom was provided with the best treatment to aid his recovery.
Tom was delighted with the outcome and said that we “made what is a difficult process very easy. Extremely professional throughout. Would have no hesitation in recommending.”
