Case studies

We have recently settled a claim for a client who suffered an injury to her lower eyelids from dermal filler injections. Our client was not warned that such an injury could occur and would not have proceeded with the procedure if she had been aware of this.

Our client, a keen jogger, was out running along a local route in high visibility clothing when she was hit by an oncoming vehicle while crossing the road. She was knocked down and sustained a fracture to the left humerus and to the left fibula.

We secured damages for a cyclist badly injured, suffering multiple fractures, as a result of another cyclist’s negligence.

We settled a claim against Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust following the alleged negligent mismanagement of our client’s orthopaedic treatment for a wrist fracture in 2002, when our client was nine years old.

We settled a claim against the gynaecology team of a South West hospital for alleged consecutive failings in our client’s management over a three year period.

Our client had a history of non-invasive bladder cancer which was first diagnosed in 1996. Following regular treatment for this non-invasive disease, a bladder scan in June 2011 revealed a large abdominal aortic aneurysm.

We were instructed to advise on a case where a motorcyclist’s arm was amputated. The accident involved a car overtaking at a point where a single carriageway road split into a dual carriageway.

We recovered compensation for our client, a keen cyclist who was training for a competitive triathlon when hit by a car, sustaining serious injuries.

We have acted for a client who was involved in an incident where he was ‘doored’ by a car driver as he cycled past. His bike was extensively damaged and was taken to a cycle shop where he asked for it to be made roadworthy and safe to use. Two weeks afterwards, he had a second cycling accident when the carbon forks collapsed causing him to hit his head and fracture his cheekbone.

Our personal injury team represented the wife of a man who was killed in a cycling accident in the Peak District when a motorbike lost control on a corner and hit him head on.

We concluded a claim on behalf of a cyclist who was injured while travelling to work. He was wearing a cycle helmet and appropriate cycle clothing but was hit by the large wing mirror of a transit vehicle which had been travelling behind him at a significant speed.

Our client was cycling on a busy road when he was suddenly knocked off his bicycle by a wooden bed base which had not been properly secured to the defendant’s vehicle.
