| Client Mr C |
£2.8 million |
| The client suffered a clinical accident at birth. We inherited these papers some 10 years after the accident. The client underwent intensive rehabilitation. The case was successfully concluded following rehabilitation |
| |
| Client Mr W |
£2.4 million |
| We recovered £2,400,000 for our client, who suffered severe and disabling head injuries in a construction site accident and now requires some daytime care. |
| |
| Mr
JA |
£4,200,000 |
| We acted for J against the London Hospital. J suffered a birth injury which resulted in cerebral palsy. He had been represented for some 10 years by other solicitors. The case was transferred to us in November 2003. We issued proceedings in April 2004 and listed this case for Trial in October 2005. The case settled for £4.2 million days before Trial. |
| |
| Mr
SDG |
£3,900,000 |
| S had surgery when he was 5 days old. Post surgery his parents complained to the hospital repeatedly that S was poorly and should be sent to a Specialist Unit. The Luton & Dunstable Hospital neglected to do so and S became severely dehydrated. He suffered thrombosis which left him severely brain injured. Previous solicitors had investigated S’s claim over a long period of time. We issued proceedings against the Luton and Dunstable Hospital and set the matter down for Trial within 2 years of the transfer. The case was settled days before the Trial at £3.9 million. |
| |
| Mr
OM |
£3,100,000 |
| O had
surgery at the Ipswich Hospital when he was eleven months old. Prior
to surgery O had not received the medical attention that he should
have received. As a result, during surgery he suffered a serious
brain injury. We settled O’s case for the lump sum equivalent
of £3.1 million. |
| |
| Mr
GC |
£1,000,000 |
| G was a tetraplegic who was heavily dependent on NHS and Social Services to provide Carers to assist him. The Carer ran a bath of hot water and lowered him into the bath as a result, G suffered very severe burns which seriously compromised him. We issued proceedings against Lifespan Healthcare NHS Trust and recovered £1 million for G. |
| |
| Mr
JP |
£1,950,000 |
| J was a young child and he complained of headaches. He was referred to Basildon Hospital, who failed to diagnose a cerebral tumour. As a result of delayed treatment, J suffered loss of sight. J’s mother was advised by previous solicitors that J had no valid claim. J’s mother consulted us and we issued proceedings against hospital and recovered £1.95 million for J. |
| |
| Client Miss N |
£1.7 million |
| In a Criminal Injuries Compensation Claim, we were able to recover £1,700,000 for our client, who has been totally dependent on others since a child and is severely disabled. We were successfully able to argue that the quality of care and support provided by her family meant that the usual discount for family care should not be applied. |
| |
| Mr B |
£1.1 million |
| Ten years earlier, and with a promising career in journalism ahead of him, our client was involved in a head on collision with another vehicle as a result of which he suffered a severe head injury. Some 9 years after the accident we were instructed. Within 12 months of being instructed we were able to bring the case to a conclusion with a significantly larger than expected sum. |
| |
| Mr B 2 |
£850,000 |
| The client was a passenger in a vehicle, which collided with a tree. He suffered serious head and orthopaedic injuries. We inherited this case from previous solicitors who had dealt with the matter for 11 years. After taking over the case we were able to ensure that satisfactory interim payments were made and appropriate care and rehabilitation was put in place. |
| |
| Mr T |
£800,000 |
| We took on his claim after it had been running for 6 years, from another firm of solicitors. Mr T had been injured in a motorcycle accident sustaining orthopaedic injuries and a head injury which was not immediately obvious. There was also an element of contributory negligence, reducing the claim by 25%. The claim was settled for £800,000. |
| |
| Mr F |
£850,000 |
| Our client was a middle-aged man, married with 2 children. He was involved in a head-on collision. An intensive period of rehabilitation was obtained for him. Although he is unlikely to work full-time paid employment, he currently does voluntary work. He is able to drive a vehicle that was purchased and adapted for him. |
| |
| Miss W |
£650,000 |
| A close relative of Miss W did an unexpected leap-frog thereby injuring her back whilst abroad in holiday. Prior to sustaining her injury, Miss W was pursuing a career in marketing. We were instructed more than 4 years after the accident and were successfully able to argue before the Court that her claim should not be time-barred. Miss W had sustained a disc prolapse requiring a discectomy and suffered from chronic back pain. Her claim was eventually settled for £650,000. |
| |
| Miss
W 2 |
£2,100,000 |
| The
client was kicked in the face and head by a horse belonging to the
Defendant. We pursued a claim against the Defendants and succeeded
in obtaining 70% liability and recovered £2.1 million (being
70% of the claim) for the client who now lives in her own accommodation
with a suitable support package in place. |
| |
| Mr P |
£450,000 |
| The client was awarded £450,000 in compensation for a brain injury sustained whilst a passenger in a car driven by a friend. Although he was not wearing a seatbelt, we were able to argue that doing so would have made no difference to the severity of his injuries and no penalty should be imposed for contributory negligence. The client underwent an intensive period of rehabilitation and he is now working full-time. |
| |
| Mrs W |
£140,000 |
| The client, a 34 year old woman, was in a rear end collision whilst her vehicle was stationary. Papers were transferred to this firm and immediate instructions were sent to a team of experts from our expert database. The claim was settled for £140,000. |
| |
| Mrs W 2 |
£40,000 |
| The client was awarded £40,000 as compensation for a whiplash injury suffered on the day she commenced working as a self-employed caterer. Based on her business plan, this firm was able to argue that she should be compensated for a significant proportion of her forecast earnings for the two years she was unable to work. |
| |
| Mr R |
£6,100 |
| The client sustained a whiplash injury. Although he was not wearing a seatbelt, we were able to recover £6,100 |
| |
| Miss C |
£55,000 |
| The client was a 90 year partially sighted widow. She suffered fractures as the result of being knocked over in a supermarket car park. We obtained an interim payment and utilised this to fund private care whilst the client whilst recovering. We settled the claim at £55,000 |
| |
| Mr S |
£37,000 |
| The client was a motorcyclist who was involved in a road traffic accident. He suffered a serious fracture to his hip and minor injuries to his arm and damage to his teeth. The accident left him with a phobic reaction to travel. Once he transferred the case to us, appropriate reports were obtained and the claim finally settled at £37,000 |
| |
| Mr S |
£3,000 |
| The client suffered a swelling to his thigh, a strain to his hand and damage to a tooth when the driver of a parked car opened his door causing him to be thrown off his bicycle. We managed to recover £3,000 in compensation. |
| |
| Mr S |
£27,500 |
| The client was an elderly gentleman in his 80s. He was knocked over by a reversing car and sustained a fractured arm and soft tissue injury to his knee. Prior to the accident Mr S was very active and enjoyed gardening and playing musical instruments. The claim was settled for £27,500 plus Special Damages which included £1,300 for future gardening expenses. |
| |
| Mr C |
£9,500 |
| Mr C was a disabled tetraplegic client who sustained a fracture to his left leg. He was driving his specially adapted vehicle when hit from behind by another vehicle. It was argued by the Defendants that there could be no claim for pain and suffering because of Mr C’s condition but we were able to argue the claim for just over £9,500 |
| |
| Miss J |
£197,000 |
| Our client was a Housing Professional who was involved in a rear end shunt and sustained severe whiplash injuries and inner ear damage from striking the headrest in her vehicle. Following the accident Miss J was only able to work part-time and lost the chance of promotion. Her claim was settled for £197,000 by mediation. |
| |
| Mr G |
£150,000 |
| The client was awarded in excess of £150,000 for serious and disabling eye injuries suffered in a workshop accident while serving as a junior soldier ten years earlier.

£85,000 |
| Mr B was in his mid-20’s and worked as a sales assistant.

£28,000 |
| Our client was a lathe operator and sustained pressure burns and a soft tissue injury to his shoulder when he became caught in a machine at work.

| |
| Mr S |
£120,000 |
| This was a claim for work-related stress by a retired civil servant. Previous solicitors acting for Mr S advised that he did not have a case and we took this on shortly before expiry of limitation. We obtained an admission of liability within 6 months and settled the claim for £120,000 |

£105,000 |
| Our client was employed as a scaffolder. He was required to work at height and erected his own platform as no crane or ladders were provided for him to use.

Liability was strongly disputed but at a round table meeting before trial we were able to secure damages to include pain and suffering, loss of past earnings and handicap on the future labour market. |
| |

£800,000 |
| We took on his claim after it had been running for 6 years, from another firm of solicitors.

£23,600 |
| Our client was injured by a car driver whilst riding his bicycle, and sustained fractures to his arm and leg as well as a minor head injury.
