Our personal injury team acted on behalf of a young man who sustained injuries as a result of slipping on an untreated icy car park when leaving a public house late one evening.

Our personal injury team recently recovered damages for a young female client who sustained a back injury as a result of negligent instruction by a teacher in a yoga class. At the time of the accident, our client was a beginner yoga student.

Our client was at a well known cinema complex one afternoon and, after the screening of the film finished, she began to make her way out of the cinema. However, the screen lighting needed to allow visitors to exit safely failed to come on and the area was very dark.

We recently secured damages for a pedestrian who sustained injury while walking past a building site.

Our client, a hotel guest, was walking through a North London hotel car park at night when she tripped over a lowered parking bollard which was camouflaged by the paving stones, causing a tear to a tendon in her right knee which required surgery.

Our client was an elderly lady who had been holidaying in Devon. On the day of her departure, she emptied her wardrobe and as she did so the wardrobe, which had been placed in an unstable position before her arrival, toppled over. The wardrobe knocked our client down to the floor and she suffered injuries to her ankle, shoulder and back.

We have achieved a settlement for one of the victims injured in June 2015 on The Smiler attraction at Alton Towers.
