Compensation for Pedestrian Accident Claim To Be Paid Into Personal Injury Trust in Rhyl

Compensation for Pedestrian Accident in Rhyl To Be Paid Into Personal Injury Trust

PSR Solicitors are currently acting for a gentleman who suffered very serious, life-changing injuries as the result of being run over by a car. After an altercation with the driver, the vehicle mounted the pavement and drove over our client, leaving him with all manner of physical and psychological injuries. 

Due to the serious nature of the client’s injuries and his ongoing, lengthy treatment, it is not yet possible to settle this gentleman’s claim. However, in the meantime, our opponent (the Motor Insurers Bureau on this occasion, as the car was uninsured) have agreed to fund rehabilitation for our client. They are paying substantial sums of money to cover things like physiotherapy, psychological assessment, assessment of the client’s domestic conditions and the support required to enable him to attend medical appointments and keep track of his medication etc. There may also soon be funding for adaptations to his home and rehabilitative aids which will assist his recovery. Also, as it is likely to be some time before it is appropriate to finally settle the claim, there may soon be an interim payment in respect of the client’s compensation generally.

Like many people, this client is entitled to certain state benefits, some of which are means-tested – i.e. his entitlement to them depends on how much money he has in the bank. Receiving compensation (including an interim payment) could affect his entitlement to benefits. The client’s benefits can be protected by using a personal injury trust. This keeps the compensation payment separate from the client’s other accounts, so it does not have to be taken into account when assessing his entitlement to benefits. We are able to arrange to put a personal injury trust in place ready for when it is needed, and the cost of the doing so will be included as part of the compensation. This means that the client will be able to receive his compensation without worrying about losing his state benefits.
