HD Claims Helped Edinburgh Driver
Secure Compensation After
Head-on Collision
A 34-year-old woman was left badly injured when a distracted driver swerved into her lane, causing a head-on collision on the A701 near Edinburgh.
She had been driving home in slow-moving traffic when a BMW brushed against the edge of the road, crossed the center line, and crashed into her Ford Fiesta. The force of the crash crushed the front of her car, pushing it backward and causing another car to bump into her from behind.
The mother-of-one suffered a fractured wrist, bruised ribs, and severe whiplash. She recalled: “At first, I felt numb, then the pain hit all at once. My hands were shaking, and I couldn’t stop crying. I just knew something was wrong with my arm.”
Police responded to the scene, taking witness statements, while paramedics checked her injuries and took her to the Royal Infirmary. Over the next few days, her pain worsened, and simple tasks like cooking, dressing, and lifting her child became a challenge.
She said, “I work in hospitality, and I couldn’t do my job at all. I was off work for months, and my sick pay ran out fast. I started worrying about rent and bills more than anything else.”
That’s when she reached out to HD Claims. Our team listened to her experience, explained the claims process in simple terms, and connected her with a solicitor who guided her every step of the way. We helped her get an independent medical assessment with an orthopaedic specialist and another report for her ongoing neck pain.
We used medical evidence, wage records, and witness statements to paint a clear picture of the accident’s impact on her health, finances, and quality of life. While the insurer accepted liability, the initial offer was only £2,100, implying that her injuries would heal quickly.
We challenged that offer with expert evidence. In the end, her claim was settled for a five-figure sum, which included compensation for her pain and suffering, lost earnings, and long-term effects on her life.
She admitted, “I honestly do not think I could have coped without the support.” “HD Claims made it seem manageable, and I finally felt like someone was on my side.”
