Personal injury claims
Recent examples of our work include:-
• |
Securing damages for a client against Suffolk County Council following an accident in which his hearing was damaged by the detonation of an airbag after the vehicle he was driving hit a pothole in a poorly maintained section of country road. This claim was concluded before the Court of Appeal and the Judgment has wide ranging implications for local authorities responsible for highways maintenance; |
• |
Securing substantial damages and rehabilitation resulting in a return to productive employment for a client who had to have a leg amputated following a serious road traffic accident caused by a drunk driver; |
• |
Securing substantial damages for the widow of a former steel erector who developed mesothelioma as a result of exposure to asbestos during the late 1950s; and |
• |
Securing an award of damages for a client under the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme. This was nearly three times the award that had been offered to her before she sought legal advice. |
