Negligent Landlord results in injured Tenant
D came to Russell Worth following an accident in the car park belonging to the landlord of the property she was renting. As D was walking towards her car she tripped and fell on uneven paving. D sustained severe bruising to her ribs as well as bruising to her knee, foot, toe, fingers and stomach. The greatest of these physical injuries as well as anxiety following the accident lasted for approximately 9 months. RP, public liability specialist here at Russell Worth, was keen to represent D and ensure she received not only the compensation to which she was entitled but also any future medical needs were identified and dealt with. Within three weeks of contacting the landlord’s insurance company an admission of responsibility was received. Following this RP arranged for D to visit an independent medical expert to ensure the appropriate medical evidence was obtained in order to value the claim and also any future medical needs could be identified and addressed. Fortunately for D her injuries, though nasty, were not permanent and future medical treatment was not necessary. After some negotiation, with advice, D accepted the sum of £3,750 in settlement of her claim. This figure included compensation for pain and suffering as well as care expenses. Commenting on the claim D said: ‘Great service couldn't ask for more from them. They have been very helpful from start to end of my claim, very understanding altogether great.’Free Claim Assessment

£3,000 for client injured whilst on a bus
Mrs H came to Russell Worth in September 2014 having been involved in a road traffic accident. Mrs H, travelling on a bus, was thrown forwards from her seat into the seat in front when the bus driver was forced to brake harshly. It transpired that another vehicle had recklessly pulled out into the path of the bus forcing the driving to attempt an emergency stop. Mrs H, shaken and injured, suffered pain to her collarbone, shoulder, elbow, and back together with pins and needles to her left arm. Unsurprisingly Mrs H also had difficulty sleeping following the incident. JT who dealt with the claim for Mrs H ensured that appropriate treatment was sought and physiotherapy was arranged without delay to aid recovery. The insurance company for the other side admitted full responsibility and Mrs H was happy to accept £3000.00 in compensation for the pain and suffering she sustained. This figure also included payment of the physiotherapy fees and costs incurred by family members who assisted Mrs H with care and assistance (such as shopping, assisting with washing etc). Mrs H, commenting on the case says ‘I cannot fault Russell Worth Solicitors in any way. They kept me informed at all times, as soon as they knew anything so did I. They found me a reputable physiotherapist who was very good. If I needed to ask questions I had a personal solicitor on the other end of an email. I cannot praise them enough.’
