Slip at garden centre results in fractured ankle
In January 2016, Mr S was visiting a garden centre when he slipped on an area of AstroTurf which was wet and covered in mud. Unfortunately, Mr S fractured his ankle when he fell and needed to wear an air boot for six weeks to aid his recovery. Following a call to the National Accident Helpline, Mr S was transferred to the team here at Russell Worth who represented him, on a no win no fee basis, in a personal injury claim. Due to lack of communication from the third party, NM, public liability specialist here at Russell Worth, issued Court proceedings to put pressure on the other side and prompt them to deal with the matter. Whilst awaiting a response, NM arranged for Mr S to attend an independent medical expert, as not cost to himself, who met with him and prepared a report in support of his claim. The medical expert advised a prognosis period of one year following which he anticipated Mr S would achieve a full symptomatic recovery. Not long after issuing Court proceedings, despite not formally admitting responsibility for the accident, the insurance company for the third party offered to settle Mr S’s claim in the sum of £5,000 for the pain and suffering he had endured following the accident. This was a good offer and one that Mr S was happy to accept. Commenting on the case Mr S said the following: “Excellent Service. Totally professional company who sorted everything out and kept me informed every step of the way They protected me from any financial losses and won me a very fair compensation which if I had acted alone I am sure I would not have got. Would thoroughly recommend them as a company.”Free Claim Assessment

Slip in Sainsburys leaves client injured
When heading towards the checkout at his local Sainsbury's, Mr W slipped on a spillage and fell to the floor, injuring himself in the process. Following a telephone call to the National Accident Helpline, Mr W was put through to Russell Worth and we were more than happy to represent him in a personal injury claim. Initially, Sainsbury’s insurance company denied responsibility for the accident stating they had a sufficient cleaning regime in place. However, undeterred, MF – public liability specialist here at Russell Worth – issued Court proceedings, believing the defence was not strong enough to withstand a Court trial. MF also arranged for Mr W to attend an independent medical expert who provided medical evidence supporting the claim. Mr W had sustained injury to his knee and back for which the medical expert recommended he receive physiotherapy to aid his recovery. This was subsequently arranged. To avoid the stress and cost of attending a trial, MF advised Mr W that we should put forward an offer to Sainsbury’s insurance company to settle the claim and bring an end to the matter. Clearly not confident in their own defence, Sainsbury's accepted MF'S offer and Mr W accepted the sum of £5,750 for the pain and suffering he had sustained. Commenting on the case Mr W said: “very good. Russell Worth are the best”.Free Claim Assessment

Uncooperative third party doesn't put us off making successful claim
On 22nd October 2015, N from Wiltshire, was sat in his car which was stationary at a junction. Without any warning another vehicle approached from behind and collided into N’s car. N sustained a whiplash injury to his neck and shoulder for which he was entitled to compensation due to negligence on the part of the third party. Russell Worth were happy to take on the claim and represent N although at the start it was difficult to get a response from the insurance company for the third party. Undeterred, NG, road traffic accident specialist here at Russell Worth, issued Court proceedings to put pressure on the insurance company to deal with the matter. During this time NG arranged for N to meet with an independent medical expert who was able to prepare a report supporting N’s claim that his injuries were as a result of the accident. To avoid lengthy and expensive Court proceedings, the insurance company for the other side were prepared to award N the sum of £1250 for his pain and suffering which, following advice from NG, he was happy to accept. Commenting on the case N said the following:- “Traffic Accident. I am absolutely delighted with the way Russell Worth dealt with my claim. Very understanding, totally honest & professional. Kept me appraised at every stage of the process & made me feel a valued client.”Free Claim Assessment

Road traffic accident
On 17th September 2015, Miss R was driving her car when without warning another vehicle drove out of a driveway, into the road and collided with her vehicle. Miss R sustained a soft tissue injury to her neck and shoulder due to the accident. The shock of the accident also led to Miss R feeling very anxious for some time following the collision. On 12th October 2015 Miss R telephoned the National Accident Helpline who put her in touch with us here at Russell Worth. HR, road traffic accident specialist, was happy to take on the case for Miss R and informed the insurance company for the driver of the other car of the claim. Miss R was in no way at fault for the accident and the insurance company for the other side admitted responsibility without argument. During this time HR arranged for Miss R to attend an independent medical expert who prepared a report based on his professional opinion which linked the injuries to the accident and advised on the likely timescale for recovery. The cost of this report was included in the claim and is not something clients are asked to pay for. After some negotiation Miss R was awarded the sum of £2983.50 for her pain and suffering. This sum included compensation for her medical expenses, transport to appointments, care and loss of gym membership for the time she was unable to attend. Commenting on the case Miss R said the following:- “Everyone here is fantastic! Excellent communication and they were so helpful! Would 100% recommend!”Free Claim Assessment
