Personal Injury Personal Litigation

Lough and Wells is leading the way in personal injury litigation.

Lough and Wells has conducted one of the first District Court litigated damages claim under the Motor Accidents Injuries Act 2017.

The claimant was seriously injured when he was run over outside his home.

The claimant was unable to return home and was under the care of a nursing home to meet his treatment and care needs.

Lough and Wells successfully argued that the cost of the nursing home was a reasonable and necessary treatment and care expense under s 3.24 of the Motor Accident Injuries Compensation Act 2017.

As a result, the insurer paid and continues to pay for high care need in the nursing home facility. Lough and Wells also obtained an award of damages for pain and suffering.

All this was achieved notwithstanding the offending driver fled the country the following day and did not return.

Taking a clear path towards personal injury compensation

There is a range of situations and events which can lead people to wonder whether they may have a case for personal injury compensation. These events can also lead to anxiety as well as acute injury, and we appreciate that it can seem difficult to work out the best course to follow.

What situations might lead to a claim?

Each person’s experience, which has led to the sustaining of a personal injury, can be very different. This is one reason why it pays to hold an initial conversation with acknowledged personal injury compensation specialists.

A range of possible situations can include involvement in a motor vehicle accident or an injury sustained in a person’s workplace. Equally, there might be a sporting injury to consider, or sadly, negligence when being treated by a healthcare worker. There are many other possible areas, and we know that each set of circumstances and outcomes are unique.

Choosing your personal injury compensation specialists
