Slip on ice leaves client with nasty injury and permanent scarring
On 2nd February 2015, LB was walking down the street when she slipped on ice which had formed on a blocked and overflowing drain. She sustained an extremely nasty injury by way of a triple fracture and dislocation of her ankle which required surgery. LB came to Russell Worth for advice on making a claim against the Council for failure to keep the drain unblocked and her resulting accident and injury. SW, public liability specialist here at Russell Worth, dealt with LB's claim on her behalf and ensured she received the compensation to which she was entitled. SW arranged for LB to meet with an independent medical expert who examined her and prepared a report in support of her claim. This report included advice on the injury, likely timescale for the healing process, any likely problems for the future and any future medical needs. After some negotiation LB , with SW's advice, accepted the sum of £10,985 for her pain, suffering and other losses. Commenting on the case LB said the following: - ‘Very good client service. Russel worth are a very reputable company. They do take into consideration the best interests of their clients.’Free Claim Assessment

Slippery tiles result in fall and injury
On Christmas Day 2014, Mr X was unfortunate enough to fall on slippery tiles outside a property where he had been visiting friends. Mr X sustained a broken thumb which needed surgery along with damaged tendons in his right shoulder. Not only was Mr X’s Christmas ruined but he faced a long recovery which necessitated time off work and loss of earnings. BW, public liability specialist here at Russell Worth, was keen to represent Mr X in a claim against the property management company responsible for the upkeep of the property and tiled area outside. BW arranged for a Slip Test Engineer to attend the premises and carry out testing on the tiles and a report followed. The report showed that the tiles, when wet or dirty through moss/debris, carried a high risk of slip over what is acceptable by current UK Guidelines. After some negotiation, the insurance company for the other side offered to award Mr X the sum of £3,000 for his suffering and other losses. BW advised Mr X that he thought this offer was far too low and advised to return with a counter offer. Mr X was happy to be guided by BW and eventually Mr X was awarded the sum of £9,500 which he was happy to accept and more in line with what could be expected for the injury sustained and his loss of earnings. Commenting on the case Mr X said: ‘Excellent. Very good service, polite, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Couldn't have been happier with the service provided.’Free Claim Assessment
