Our client was a passenger in a vehicle that was struck by a taxi in West Lothian. As a result of the collision, our client suffered not only physical but psychological injury too.

We intimated the claim to the third party insurers who were quick to admit liability. It was identified through the instruction of a Consultant Psychologist, that our client would require CBT treatment. 

In addition, it was recommended our client undergo eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) treatment. We were able to recover the funds for this treatment from the third party insurer. The treatment would span over a three year period.

In total, our client was able to access £7,700 worth of treatment to aid her recovery. 

On completion of the treatment, we were able to secure a total compensation sum of £16,500.  Through the swift instruction of a consultant psychologist, we were able to ensure that our client’s recovery was maximised by them access to private psychological treatment sessions.
