Work Highlights

• Instructed by a Claimant that was unhappy with the solicitors representing them in respect of a claim for compensation following a road traffic collision. The previous solicitor had advised the Claimant to settle their claim for £2,650. We took over conduct of the file and settled the Claimant’s claim for £55,500.

• Successfully defended a small business in respect of a claim by a person for the recognised side effects of a beauty treatment that were listed on the consent form. The claim was defended in its entirety and the small business was not required to pay compensation to the Claimant.

• Assisted with acting on behalf of a bereaved family in respect of a clinical negligence claim for damages for the death of their loved one. The Deceased had been admitted to hospital for straightforward removal of a polyp, but multiple alleged failings resulted in their untimely death. Despite the Defendant denying liability, settlement was achieved for the family.

• Assisted with the successful representation of a Claimant with a history of global developmental delay, learning difficulties and atypical autism against a pharmacy for negligently dispensing incorrect medication. The case involved complex arguments in respect of causation and ultimately the case was won, and compensation was achieved for the Claimant.

• Represented a Claimant that had been turned down by previous firms and his own insurer in respect of a claim for compensation following a road traffic collision. The Claimant had been knocked unconscious by the impact and was unable to recall the mechanism of the collision, so the other driver’s reporting of events was accepted. We took the claim on and won compensation on their behalf.

“I received some legal advice from a wonderful paralegal while I was going through a stressful time and she was always there when needed. Extremely responsive and would be on the phone minutes after I had sent an email if I had any questions. Also very knowledgeable and could answer any questions I had clearly and concisely. There’s only one firm I would go back to again if I’m ever in need of a solicitor.” - RG
