£20,000 award following trip on kerb stone

In May 2014 Mr W came to Russell Worth for help with a personal injury claiming following a fall over a missing kerb stone on a public pavement. Mr W sustained a nasty knee injury requiring surgery. NM, public liability accident specialist here at Russell Worth, represented Mr W in a personal injury claim against the Council responsible for maintenance of the pavement. To strengthen the prospects of the claim being successful, NM arranged for an agent to obtain photographs of the defective kerb stone and re-attend at three and six monthly intervals to evidence that the defect had not been repaired during that time. NM also arranged for Mr W to meet with an independent medical expert who prepared a report on his injuries, identifying any future medical needs and the likely time scale for recovery. Unfortunately the medical expert was of the opinion that Mr W’s injury was likely to leave him with long term symptoms and this was reflected when considering an appropriate settlement figure. Despite the Council responsible denying liability for the accident, NM was not put off and issued Court proceedings against them. Eventually the Council backed down and admitted responsibility for the accident following which they made an offer to settle Mr W’s claim in the sum of £20,000 for his pain and suffering both at the time and of an ongoing nature. Prior to this offer being made NM had obtained advice from a Barrister on the likely value of the claim which enabled her to advise Mr W on the offer made. Following NM’s advice Mr W accepted the offer and had the following to say about the claims process: ‘Many thanks. I would not hesitate to contact you or recommend you to any of my family or friends in the future if ever needed and I would like to thank you for all the work u did for me many thanks.’

Fall in pothole causes painful knee injury

Mrs PB approached Russell Worth following a nasty fall in October 2014.   On the day of the accident Mrs PB had parked her car in a car park near her home and as she walked across the car park she fell due to a patch of sunken tarmac. Mrs PB sustained injury to both knees, and in particular to her left knee which exacerbated an already existing degenerative condition. CH, public liability claims specialist here at Russell Worth, represented Mrs PB in a personal injury claim which was dealt with by the insurance company on behalf of the car park owners. Despite the third party denying liability for the accident, CH was undeterred and issued Court proceedings to put pressure on the other side. CH also arranged for Mrs PB to attend an appointment with an independent medical expert who the prepared a report in support of her claim as well as advising on any future medical needs and a prognosis period. The other side were clearly not confident in their chances of success should the matter proceed as far as a Court trial and made an offer to settle Mrs PB’s claim in the sum of £3,500. The sum offered was to compensate Mrs PB for the pain and suffering she had sustained and following advice from CH the offer was accepted. Commenting on the case Mrs PB said the following: ‘There was no messing around - did the job asked kept in contact when needed and kept expenses to minimum’

£5,300 award made following bike accident

MR of Plymouth was involved in an accident on the 1st June 2012. He was cycling on the slipway to the main A38 Dual Carriageway in Plymouth when he was knocked off his bike as the result of the actions of a driver who was not identified or traced. We helped by directing his claim against the Motor Insurers Bureau who deal with claims against untraced drivers. He suffered a displaced fracture to his shoulder, as well as cuts and bruises, and ended up in hospital. MR also had to take 5 weeks off work. MR received over £5300 in his pocket to cover his injury, loss of earnings, and damage to his clothing and bike, as well as other losses such as travel expenses. He was very satisfied with the service provided and would recommend Russell Worth to others in his position.
