Case Study: Andrea’s Fight for Justice After a Life-Changing Cycling Incident

Passionate cyclist, Andrea*, was involved in a serious road incident in 2019, that left her with neck and spinal injuries, along with lasting psychological trauma. Despite the severity of her condition, Andrea was determined not to let the incident define her. She worked hard to regain a sense of normality, eventually transitioning into a new career in early 2024.

Turning to HCC Solicitors

From the beginning, Andrea knew she needed specialist solicitors so turned to HCC. The insurers of the driver at fault were aggressive and uncooperative. They made an early offer which was extremely low and our experts advised Andrea to turn the offer down. The insurers refused to increase the offer but we stood firm.

Getting the Right Support 

While the case was ongoing, we knew it was important ensure that Andrea got the right care and rehabilitation package. So, we sought early interim payments for privately funded rehabilitation and instructed a case manager. This gave Andrea the best chance of recovery and future independence.

Getting the Right Outcome

We worked tirelessly to shield Andrea from the mounting pressure of the legal case, but we were committed to securing a fair outcome for Andrea, to give her the best possible future security. Our persistence paid off, and the case settled for almost four times the original offer.

Andrea’s case was more than a legal victory. It was a story of courage, perseverance, and the importance of standing up to pressure. Her determination to rebuild her life, combined with the unwavering support of her legal team, ensured she received the justice and recognition she deserved.

5* Review - Review Solicitors

They were friendly, very approachable, professional, demonstrated great empathy and supported both my wife and I through every step of the process. Especially when some of the information that had to be relayed by them to us was very difficult to hear.
