Case studies

We have recently represented a woman who was injured in Greece when she was riding pillion on a moped. The English driver lost control after consuming excessive alcohol. Neither party was wearing a helmet.

We successfully recovered compensation for an English motorcyclist after he was hit by a local resident driving a Volkswagen vehicle in Germany. Liability was admitted but the German insurers objected to various heads of claim and denied that all the reported injuries were caused by the accident.

We achieved an overall settlement figure of approximately €1.5 million plus costs for our client who was hit on a pedestrian crossing in Belgium by a driver who jumped a red light. He was catapulted approximately 30 yards.

We achieved a €1.25 million settlement for a 55 year old man from Newcastle, who was badly injured in a hit-and-run accident involving a drink driver in County Kildare, Ireland, while working on an overseas contract for a UK based construction company.

We acted for the family of a young man tragically killed in Italy. He was a passenger in a vintage sports car driven by his father. As they pulled out of a service station, another vehicle, travelling at speed, crashed into the side of their car.

We acted for a 75 year old British man who suffered permanent spinal cord injuries, which resulted in him being paralysed from the neck down, after being struck by a car while he was crossing the road in Bruges.

We recovered £750,000 in damages for a client who suffered multiple injuries in a road traffic accident in France. The settlement was particularly significant since the defendant’s French insurers originally offered him EUR 11,000.

We were able to secure substantial compensation after pursuing a pedestrian accident claim for a young British man, who was hit by a vehicle and sustained serious injuries while on a stag weekend in southern Spain.
