Colin’s Story
About Colin’s claim
Before the accident, Colin and his partner Jennifer were living a good life. Colin was self-employed as a personal trainer and running a small farm, enjoying the independence and hard work that came with it.
One Sunday afternoon, Colin was knocked off his push bike. He broke his clavicle and was left barely able to walk, making it impossible to continue working as he had before.
I was knocked off my push bike. I’d broken my clavicle and I could hardly walk.
When Colin contacted the insurer, he was told he could continue working the farm with one arm in a sling and that no further help was required. With a large loan and no income coming in, Colin and Jennifer were suddenly under severe financial pressure.
We had a $640,000 loan and no money coming in. We were in real financial trouble.
After seeing LHD Lawyers, Colin reached out and spoke with Philip, who reassured him from the outset that he had support.
Philip rang me back and said, ‘I’ve got your back.’ We went into tears.
At the beginning of the process, Colin was told he would likely receive nothing but with LHD’s guidance and determination, he got about half a million dollars.
With LHD’s support, Colin and Jennifer were able to secure a result that recognised the seriousness of his injuries and the financial impact of the accident, helping them avoid losing everything and giving them a chance to move forward.
