In another asbestos case, we acted
for a former insulator who contracted a terminal lung cancer called
mesothelioma. In this instance, we offered a reduction for early
settlement so that our client could still enjoy the use of his damages.
Compensation of just under £110,000 was awarded. |

A forklift driver was thrown from
his cab after riding over a carelessly discarded piece of wood in
a poorly lit area of his workplace. Acting on his behalf, we gained
a settlement of £5,500. |

One client, having purchased
a set of steps whose treads turned out to be covered in a dangerously
slippery material, fell off them and injured his neck. A settlement
was finally agreed with the steps' importers of £1,800. |

Yet another client fell
in the street after purchasing a defective pair of high-heel shoes.
A claim was brought against the manufacturers, who settled at £2,000. |

Whilst attempting to
remove trespassing cattle from his land, another client suffered
a fractured ankle which may require surgery in the future that will
result in early retirement from work. We recovered £50,000
damages on his behalf. |

| What follows is a summary of just some
of the recent successful cases we have fought.
|
| |
|
We have obtained criminal injuries compensation
for 2 women, each of whom was abused as a child by other family members.
One case recovered £27,000, the other £20,000. |

|
We acted for a 62-year old
kitchen porter who was knocked off his motorcycle on his way to work. He
dislocated his shoulder, creating permanent weakness and inability to lift
weights, thus cutting short his working life. We achieved a settlement
before trial of £80,000. |
|
| |
|
Acting for a cleaner knocked down whilst
crossing the road, suffering permanent injuries to a shoulder and knees,
we settled her claim for £48,000 - despite the fact that she did
not use a pedestrian crossing, thus introducing a contributory negligence
deduction (which we limited to 10%). |
|
| |
|
Another client was a heating engineer diagnosed
as suffering from asbestosis after having worked for employers in the '60s
and '70s who allowed him to use insulation containing high concentrations
of asbestos. We traced all his previous employers (including those who
were no longer in business) and obtained compensation of around £13,000. |
