Anne Turley - Occupational disease solicitor
Derby senior occupational disease solicitor
Anne, a Derby solicitor, is one of many of our legal representatives who have been with us for very many years. She started her working life with us as part of our administrative team, but we were delighted to be able to support Anne through her qualifying years and she has been a practising solicitor now for over 20 years.
Originally based in Birmingham, Anne also worked in our Wolverhampton office before moving to our Derby office. She now represents clients throughout the East Midlands and has enjoyed a varied mix of personal injury compensation claims during her career. However, over the last few years, she has specialised in all types of occupational diseases and work accident compensation claims, plus very many road accident compensation claims.
Anne has earned a reputation for being very approachable, with extremely good communication skills, making sure the client is always aware of the progress of their claim. She is extremely sympathetic to the client’s needs and always ensures it is those needs that are given the highest priority when seeking their rightful compensation.
Anne has dealt with many fatal accident compensation claims during her extensive career, and understands how difficult it is for the family to come to terms with their loss. She has always been able to deal with the family in a sensitive way whilst drawing on the vital information required to bring a successful accident compensation claim on their behalf.
Her determination to obtain the best outcome for all her clients, coupled with her extensive experience, will ensure that Anne obtains the maximum compensation for you or your family.
Successful compensation claims
Of the many successful compensation claims that Anne has dealt with, here are just a few examples.
Work accident compensation claim – Strain injury
Anne represented this client in bringing a work accident compensation claim in relation to three separate injuries he received. His job involved heavy lifting and despite the first and second injuries, his employer took no steps to ensure he did not suffer further injury.
Following the last of these injuries, Anne’s client was unable to return to work. The defendant’s insurer put forward an initial offer, which Anne felt did not reflect the serious injury suffered by her client. She was subsequently able to negotiate a six-figure sum for her client in compensation for his injury and his loss of future earnings.
Asbestos-related disease claim – Pleural thickening compensation
Over 30 years after he was initially exposed to asbestos dust, Anne’s client in this claim for asbestos-related compensation had developed symptoms that included shortness of breath.
He was subsequently diagnosed as suffering from pleural thickening, though an initial concern that he also had mesothelioma proved unfounded. However, as with all cases of pleural plaque or pleural thickening, her client will now live with the risk of developing the fatal asbestos-related disease in the future.
A plumber who had been involved in removing and applying asbestos lagging to pipes and boilers, liability for his injury was admitted by the insurer and Anne was subsequently able to negotiate over £50,000 in compensation for his suffering and reduced life expectancy.
Occupational disease compensation claim – Vibration white finger
This client’s employer admitted a breach of duty following Anne’s issuing of court proceedings. They put forward a settlement proposal in respect of her client’s vibration white finger compensation claim, but this was rejected on Anne’s advice.
There was some confusion regarding causation due to other unrelated conditions, and Anne was forced to issue court proceedings. However, before the trial date, Anne was subsequently able to negotiate a sum almost three times the original sum offered, which her client was pleased to accept.
Road accident compensation claim – Motorcycle hit and run injury
Still only a minor, Anne’s client in this road accident compensation claim had been hit by a drunk driver who then proceeded to drive away from the scene, leaving her client injured on the roadside.
Her client had sustained a serious knee injury and other damage to his leg and was in plaster for several months. He needed immediate surgery and had to have further operations some months after the motorcycle accident.
When the police investigated this serious road accident, they discovered the defendant’s number plate at the scene and were able to trace him and bring a conviction. Anne was able to secure almost £30,000 in road accident compensation for her client’s injuries and loss of earnings during his recovery.
