Pavement trip causes broken toe in two places
Mr X came to Russell Worth following a trip on uneven paving which resulted in him breaking two bones in his big toe. Before a claim was submitted to the housing association responsible for the pavement, an agent was sent to the area over the course of 6 months to obtain photographic evidence of the defect which was not at any time repaired during the course of inspection. BW, public liability specialist, represented Mr X and although the housing association admitted responsibility for the defect and subsequent accident, they did not deal with the matter according to procedure. BW therefore issued Court proceedings after which negotiations began on a settlement figure. BW also arranged for Mr X to attend an independent medical expert to obtain medical evidence of the injury and likely prognosis period. This assists in ensuring the right level of compensation is sought from the third party and any future medical needs are identified and met. Initially the solicitors for the housing association put forward an offer of £2,400 to settle Mr X’s claim. BW advised Mr X that this offer was too low and that it should be rejected – Mr X was happy to be guided by BW . Eventually, two weeks before trial, the third party agreed to compensate Mr X in the sum of £4,000 which he was happy to accept. Commenting on the case Mr X said: - ‘A very truthful and reliable company, excellent correspondence.’Free Claim Assessment
