Fall into empty swimming pool leaves client injured
On 19th May 2014, Mr B was staying at a friend’s house when he fell into their empty swimming pool. It was very dark and Mr B had gone outside, alone, to have a cigarette. The pool and area surrounding were poorly lit and our client fell into the uncovered, empty pool and sustained a nasty back injury. The home owner denied responsibility for the accident throughout the claim and AH, occupier’s liability specialist here at Russell Worth, worked hard to secure Mr B a compensation settlement. AH issued Court proceedings against the home owner who then instructed his own solicitors to deal with proceedings on his behalf. AH also arranged for Mr B to attend an independent medical expert who, following examination, prepared a medical report supporting Mr B’s claim of his injuries being attributable to the accident. The case was difficult and there were many obstacles to overcome along the way. The advice of a Barrister was sought and negotiations began to try and settle the claim. In an attempt to avoid going to trial, the solicitors for the third party offered to settle the claim in the sum of £3,000. This offer, on AH’s advice, was accepted by Mr B. Commenting on the case Mr B said the following:- “An honest opinion. I would not hesitate in recommending Russell Worth to anyone, I’ve found them to be a highly professional company who always keep clients up to date with information and their best advice.”Free Claim Assessment

Five figure award for client who trips whilst out running
In October 2015, Mrs M was out running when she tripped and fell due to uneven paving. Upon attendance at hospital Mrs M was given an x ray of her arm and it was found she had sustained a nasty fracture to her wrist which required surgery. The surgery itself has left Mrs M with a significant scar and the recovery period was some 12 weeks. Being employed at the time, working as a teacher, Mrs M needed to take time off work following the accident which resulted in a loss of earnings. She also needed help with daily chores, personal care and childcare for several weeks following the accident which fortunately, family members were able to assist with. EE, public liability specialist here at Russell Worth, was keen to represent Mrs M in a personal injury claim against the Council and secure her the compensation to which she was eligible. EE notified the Council of Mrs M’s claim and they admitted full responsibility for the accident and were willing to negotiate a compensation settlement for her. In order to ensure Mrs M received the correct amount of compensation and any future medical needs were taken into consideration, EE arranged for Mrs M to attend an independent medical expert. This expert examined Mrs M and subsequently prepared a report in support of her claim outlining expected recovery times and potential future difficulties she may encounter. After some negotiation Mrs M, with EE’s advice, accepted the sum of £11,726.71 in settlement of her claim. The sum of money was compensation for pain and suffering, loss of earnings, care costs, travel costs, gym membership and replacement damaged clothing/phone. Commenting on the case Mrs M said the following:- “Fantastic professional organisation. I have been really pleased with the way that Russel Worth have dealt with my accident claim. From the very start they have been helpful and reassuring. They have kept me fully informed throughout every stage of the case. I would highly recommend them to anyone else.”Free Claim Assessment

Road Traffic Accident Case Studies
Road traffic accident leaves client injured and anxious
In August 2015 Mrs A was a passenger in a stationary car which was hit from behind by another vehicle. Mrs A suffered from whiplash, soft tissue injury to her chest and lower back and unsurprisingly also suffered with a fear of travel following the incident. BS, road traffic accident specialist here at Russell Worth, was keen to assist Mrs A in making a claim for compensation. BS submitted a claim to the insurance company covering the third party and within a week she had received an admission of responsibility for the accident. BS arranged for Mrs A to attend a course of physiotherapy as well as an independent medical expert who prepared a report for Mrs A so that BS could ensure she was awarded the correct level of compensation and any future medical needs were identified. After some negotiation Mrs A received the sum of £2,980 for her injuries which included part payment towards her physiotherapy fees. Commenting on the case Mrs A said the following: ‘Very helpful, and always at the end of the phone. They could not have been better, recommend to anyone who needs help.’Free Claim Assessment

Bus passenger injured when thrown out of seat
Anyone who has been on a bus will know not to expect the smoothest ride but no one expects to be thrown out of their seat due to harsh braking by the driver. This is what happened to S in the summer of 2014 and the experience left her not only physically injured but also suffering from anxiety for some time. Following the accident S approached Russell Worth and JT, our road traffic accident specialist, was keen to assist her with a claim for compensation. Once JT had found out the insurance company details for the bus company she made a formal claim against them. The case was by no means straight forward however due to S suffering with pre-existing medical conditions. JT arranged for S to attend a medical appointment regarding her physical injuries so that an expert could provide evidence of the level of exacerbation S had suffered following the accident. S was also seen by a psychiatrist as she suffered with anxiety in several forms following the accident. Obtaining medical reports, from independent experts, enabled JT to ensure the right amount of compensation was sought for S as well as being able to identify any future medical needs she may need taking care of. After some negotiation S accepted the sum of £3,776 in settlement of her claim which included money for her injuries as well as other expenses such as train fares to attend appointments. Commenting on the case S said the following; “Excellent result. Russell Worth really did work for me, listen & answered any question I asked, gave me honest advice & I would highly recommend them.”Free Claim Assessment
