Case studies

We brought a claim for a young woman who was training to be a tree surgeon when she sustained a serious spinal cord injury from being trapped under a falling tree.

Our client was 19 years old when he was involved in a road traffic accident in which he was the front seat passenger in a car driven by a friend. The defendant lost control of the car which collided with another car travelling in the opposite direction and overturned.

We assisted a male supermarket employee in recovering £20,000 in damages for injuries that he sustained at work. He slipped on a spillage left in situ and fell against a counter sustaining rib injuries.

We were able to secure more than £40,000 in damages for two girls injured after a driver lost control of her vehicle on a country lane and collided with them as they cycled with their father.

Claims arising from face lift surgery are, sadly, common. We have advised on a number of cases in this area.

Our specialist personal injury team have recently recovered damages in the sum of £70,000 for a female pedestrian who suffered multiple injuries when she was hit by a motorcycle.

We helped a female teaching assistant to recover £250,000 in damages for injuries sustained at work while helping in a PE lesson. The lesson took place on a disused tennis court which was made of a concrete-like material and had a very hard and slippery surface.

Our client was involved in a head-on collision in which she sustained a very severe traumatic brain injury and spent several months in a coma. After the accident, a defect was discovered in the rear brakes of our client's vehicle.

We recently settled a case out of court for an employee injured as a result of using a defective lift in the building where she worked. Our client tripped and fell on exiting the lift because it had failed to reach ground level. As a result of falling to the ground, our client sustained a fractured wrist.

Our client worked as an HGV driver for a haulage firm. Part of his job involved repetitive work opening and shunting large high-sided curtain HGV trailers many times a day.

Our personal injury team recently secured a sum of £32,500 for a recovery patrolman who was injured while attending a member breakdown on the hard shoulder of a motorway.

We successfully recovered £18,500 compensation for a recovery patrolman who suffered a soft tissue injury to his left little finger when attending and working on a broken down member’s vehicle.
