Solicitors specialising in personal injury and clinical negligence
Mrs X was awarded £ Substantial
The client was employed by a well known organisation.
After being forced out of her job due to an impossible workload and a neck injury made worse by poor working conditions, we took on the case and secured a substantial settlement for our client.
This case shows how employers have a duty to help staff manage their workloads properly and ensure their work stations are the subject of regular risk assessments.
Mr G was awarded £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.
On a "no win – no fee" basis, this firm successfully argued that a claim for compensation could be made in spite of it being made outside of the normally accepted limit of 3 years.
Mr B was awarded £8,000
The client has been employed for one week as a window fitter when he suffered an injury to his hand. A drill bit broke off and the drill he was using went in to the base of his thumb causing a soft tissue injury and nerve damage. We settled the claim at £8,000.
Mr B was awarded £85,000
Mr B was in his mid-20’s and worked as a sales assistant.
Whilst sitting at his desk he suffered an epileptic fit and was inappropriately restrained by a work colleague causing fracture and dislocation on both shoulders with extensive bruising. Mr B was left with some disability and received £85,000.
Mr N was awarded £8,250
The client suffered an injury to his thumb while using a Hilti gun at work without appropriate instruction and protective clothing. We settled the claim at £8,250.
