Kevin was driving on a country road when his car was hit by another vehicle. The impact caused Kevin’s car to flip into a field and land on its roof. He was trapped inside the car, upside down and struggling to remove his seatbelt to crawl out. The other driver witnessed the carnage they caused but fled the scene anyway. They left Kevin alone on a quiet road without checking if he had suffered injuries or even survived the serious collision. Fleeing the scene of a road traffic accident is a criminal offence.
Kevin suffered soft tissue injuries when his car flipped. Although they were serious, he was conscious and had the strength to free himself from the upsidedown car. He did so and alerted the police and ambulance service. Later that night, the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) apprehended the at-fault driver who was driving a relative’s car at the time.
Kevin was treated for his serious soft-tissue injuries in the coming months but he also developed symptoms that would be consistent with psychiatric injuries as a result of the trauma he has suffered.
Kevin was familiar with McCartan Turkington Breen and knew the reputation of our personal injury claims department. He contacted us and enjoyed the benefit of a free initial consultation with our Senior Partner, Colin Mitchell. Confident in Colin’s expertise, Kevin instructed us to represent him in his road traffic accident claim.

The car owner’s insurer accepted liability and Colin entered settlement negotiations with them. He settled the road traffic accident claim in the sum of £50,000, to the delight of Kevin.
