Crash injury: Cash payment accepted in settlement of claim but complications develop later

by Conrad Murray — last modified 2006-12-20 10:16

I had an accident and was offered £1250.00 two days later by an insurance agent who knocked on my door. I was told that if I used a lawyer, it would take years. I was a bit short of cash at the time and took the cheque but now six months later I still have problems with both my back and neck. My GP is arranging physiotherapy on the NHS but it won’t start for several months. Can I reopen the case? PF. Shepperton

The roadside lawyer writes:

ASSUMING YOU did not have legal advice at the time, it is probable the case could be re-opened but you need to seek the services of a specialist personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.

Were you to seek our advice we would obviously need further details of your case. Call us on 0800 066 99 07 to discuss further.
