Mrs C was thrown into the roadway in the collision.
What was the impact of her injuries?

After the accident, her husband had to help look after her for a number of months as she struggled to do everyday tasks.
Contacted Digby Brown to make a motorcycle accident claim
Mrs C contacted Digby Brown about making a claim for her injuries from the motorcycle accident. Her case was passed to specialist lawyers in motorcycle accident law.
Upon lodging the claim, the insurers of the car driver admitted liability and made an offer of compensation.
Digby Brown’s motorcycle accident lawyers advised client offer was too low
Our lawyers recommended that a court action should be raised as the offer was too low and did not properly compensate Mrs C for her injuries from the accident.
Mrs C was concerned about the prospects of going to court. We advised Mrs C about the range of award the courts could make and based on our experience, recommended that she proceed with litigation in the Court of Session.

40% more compensation by going to court
