Serious injury accident compensation claims
Here is just a small sample of the range of serious personal injury and accident compensation claims that Louise has successfully concluded in recent months.
Work accident compensation claim - Jumped from height
Liability was admitted in this claim for accident compensation by this client. He was forced to jump from a height of some 10 feet, sustaining a significant injury to his foot. Our client went on to develop significant psychological issues as a result of the trauma of the accident at work.
Louise fought hard to secure accident compensation when medical evidence confirmed that the client was unlikely to be able to return to his chosen profession because of mobility problems caused by the physical injuries. His compensation included substantial loss of earnings.
Road traffic accident compensation claim - Cycling accident
Our client suffered a serious head injury, causing brain injury, when he was struck by a vehicle being driven by the defendant. Our client was cycling to work at the time of the cycling accident, but as a result, it is unlikely that he will be able to return to paid employment. As well as the head injury, he also sustained injuries to multiple limbs leaving him physically disadvantaged.
Louise and her Serious Injury Team colleagues were able to use their proven negotiating skills to obtain substantial compensation for this client, who now requires constant care around the clock. The compensation included sums for his injuries and suffering, as well as loss of future income.
Work accident compensation claim - Fall from height
This client had been asked to assist with maintenance work that was completely outside his normal sphere of work. Provided with no training, and with no risk assessment carried out, our client fell from a considerable height, sustaining multiple injuries to his head, resulting in severe behavioural problems and other functional difficulties. He also suffered several fractures of his ribs and damage to his eyes.
There had been several breaches of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations and Louise and her colleagues maintained strong negotiating pressure to secure accident at work compensation, which included loss of earnings and care.
