Malcolm, our Senior Personal Injury Solicitor, and Adam, our Managing Director, recently acted for a client who was involved in a tripping accident near to her house in 2023.

The local council initially denied liability stating that the council had regularly inspected the area and when last inspected there were no defects (s58 Highways Act defence).

Statements were obtained from local residents confirming the defect in question had been there for years!

Medical reports were commissioned from orthopaedic and other experts  and a care report was obtained producing a 6 figure schedule and following a conference with counsel settlement was achieved in sum of £90,000 after previous lower offers. The claimant was very happy with the settlement.

Don’t always take the council’s first response on liability or quantum. Evidence can be obtained to defeat them on occasions!

Client Testimonial

“In 2023 I had a fall causing a bad break to my wrist. The service provided by Malcolm and Adam has been exceptional. Although my case has taken two years to conclude, Malcolm and Adam made it a lot less stressful and reassured me along the way with their professionalism and genuine caring approach. Everything was explained fully and no question was left unanswered.

My case has now come to a close with a very good and deserving outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend this Company. You will be in good hands.

Thank you again Malcolm and Adam”
