Slip in supermarket leaves client injured
A called the National Accident Helpline in August 2016 following a slip in a supermarket which left her injured. The National Accident Helpline transferred A to Russell Worth and within four days of speaking to A we had notified both the supermarket and their insurance company of A’s claim. AC, public liability specialist here at Russell Worth, acted on behalf of A who had sustained a soft tissue injury to her arm and shoulder when she slipped on water which had leaked from a fridge onto the supermarket floor. The supermarket responsible for A’s accident denied responsibility for it but AC was not deterred. Court proceedings were issued and AC arranged for A to attend an independent medical expert. The medical expert was able to meet with A and carry out an examination prior to preparing a medical report. The medical report was then used as supporting evidence of A’s injury and also included a likely timescale within which it could be expected she would recover. Fortunately, A’s injuries were not serious and it was expected she would make a full recovery within six months. To avoid the expense of preparing for a Court trial, and clearly not confident of their chances, the insurance company for the supermarket put forward an offer of £2000 to settle A’s claim. AC advised A there was room for negotiation in this case and it would be wise to try and increase the offer. This was done successfully and Ann accepted the sum of £2750 in full and final settlement of her claim. Commenting on the case A said the following: “Really good communication, explanations of legal jargon perfect, also a no messing about service.”Free Claim Assessment

Dangerously low road sign causes injury
You do not expect to be walking along the pavement and to be hit on the head with a road sign which has not been erected high enough. Well, that is what happened to Mr I which resulted in a laceration to the top of his head. Quite rightly, Mr I contacted Russell Worth, for advice on making a personal injury claim. Our New Client Team assessed the case and we were happy to represent Mr I in a claim against the Council responsible for the area where the accident occurred. LA, public liability specialist here at Russell Worth, negotiated with the Council and upon LA’s advice, Mr I accepted the sum of £1700 for his pain and suffering. Furthermore, Mr I received confirmation from the Council that they had adjusted all signs in the local area to a safe height, thus preventing the same accident from happening to anyone else. Commenting on the case Mr I said the following:” Did a great job for me, in settling a personal injury claim against the council. I can't recommend them enough.”Free Claim Assessment

Road Traffic Accident Case Studies
Rear end shunt results in painful back injury
On 18th March 2016, Mr F was stationary in traffic when an approaching vehicle from behind failed to stop and crashed into the back of his car. Mr F sustained a whiplash injury to his neck together with an injury to his lower back. Following a call to the National Accident Helpline, Mr F was put in touch with HR, road traffic accident specialist here at Russell Worth, who represented Mr F in a personal injury claim. HR wasted no time in notifying the insurance company for the third party of Mr F’S claim and within a matter of just a few weeks an admission of responsibility for the events was received. In order to ensure Mr F was awarded the correct level of compensation for his injuries and any future medical needs were identified, HR arranged for him to attend an appointment with an independent medical expert. The medical expert examined Mr F and prepared a report which supported his claim and thankfully did not identify any long term problems Mr F could expect to face. After some negotiation Mr F accepted the sum of £2,300 by way of compensation for the injuries he had sustained. This process took just eight months from first contact with National Accident Helpline to acceptance of the award. Commenting on the case Mr F said the following:- “I would recommend. This company is very professional and I would recommend it to anyone looking to make a claim. All the staff that I dealt with, were very polite and patient with me when I never knew some of the information or took my time getting back to them.”Free Claim Assessment

Serious cycling accident leaves man with permanent injuries
Whilst out cycling in October 2014, Mr J was involved in a serious accident with a motor vehicle which left him unconscious for two hours. Mr J required treatment for a head, hip, ankle and shoulder injury together with vertigo and tinnitus. Mr J approached Russell Worth for legal advice on making a personal injury claim and we were happy to assist him, on a no win no fee basis, with this. There was no dispute that the driver of the vehicle was to blame for the accident and it was a case of ensuring Mr J was awarded the appropriate level of compensation for his injuries. It was also important to ensure Mr J received the medical treatment he required to assist his recovery and include these costs in the claim. To this end we arranged for Mr J to attend various medical experts and reports were prepared to support his claim and identify any future medical needs. BS, road traffic accident specialist here at Russell Worth, sought advice from a Barrister regarding the value of Mr J’s claim. After some negotiation, Mr J, following advice from BS, accepted the third party’s offer of £23,500 for the pain and suffering he had endured as a result of the accident. Commenting on the case Mr J said the following: “My experience of Russell Worth Solicitors. I found you pleasant to deal with, always some body at the end of the phone. I cannot fault any of the girls I dealt with.”Free Claim Assessment
