The car accident compensation legal team at Taylor & Scott acted for the father of a boy tragically killed in a car accident.

The father has suffered psychological problems since his son’s death.  These included depression, nightmares, sleeplessness, loss of appetite and problems at work.

A nervous shock claim was commenced by Simon Meigan, Partner, who leads our car accident compensation legal team and is an expert in motor accident claims here at Taylor & Scott.  Simon was able to successfully settle the compensation claim without the need for the father to have to re-live the tragedy by giving evidence in court.

Commenting on the case, Simon said:

“The facts of this case were truly tragic.  The deceased and his father were very close.  I am glad Taylor & Scott car accident compensation lawyers were able to assist the father with a settlement.  Sadly however no amount of money can compensate for the loss of his son”.

If you know someone who has suffered through the tragic loss of a family member in a car accident, they may be able to bring a “nervous shock compensation claim”.

Taylor & Scott’s motor accident team will provide a Free Case Assessment and if they act in a car accident compensation claim, they will do so on a no-win/no-pay basis.  All cases are conducted in a sensitive, caring environment by our team of expert motor accident lawyers.
