Barry Sutton a claims handler in our personal injury team, recently settled a case for a client who was injured during a driving lesson.
At the time of the accident, the client was in the driving seat of the car, taking her driving lesson. As she came to a stop at a roundabout to look for oncoming traffic, another vehicle collided with the rear of her car, causing the car to shunt forward.
