Slip in supermarket breaks client's shoulder
Whilst out shopping, Mrs M was shocked when she slipped on a spillage and fell, breaking her left shoulder. Sainsburys had failed to clear up the spillage or place any warning signs over it until such time as it could be cleared up. Sainsburys had failed in their duty of care to ensure, as far as possible, customers safety whilst at their premises. RL, public liability specialist here at Russell Worth, represented Mrs M in a personal injury claim and this was done on a no win no fee basis. Sainsburys insurers admitted responsibility for the accident and RL arranged for Mrs M to attend an independent medical expert. This was to ensure any future medical needs would be identified and met. The medical expert also prepared a medical report following the appointment which was used to support Mrs M claim and help RL assess the level of compensation to which Mrs M was entitled. As well as the injury to her shoulder, Mrs M had also incurred financial losses such as having to use bus and train transport due to not being able to drive her car. These additional costs were included in the claim for compensation. After some negotiation, Mrs M was awarded the sum of £6,088 in full and final settlement of her claim. Commenting on the case, Mrs M said the following: “The staff were always responsive. I appreciated being kept informed at every point during the process. And it was always possible to speak to someone about any concerns that I had along the way.”Free Claim Assessment

Road Traffic Accident Case Studies
Speedy settlement following road traffic accident
HR, road traffic accident specialist here at Russell Worth, represented Mr S following an accident in which he was rear end shunted. Mr S sustained soft tissue injuries to his neck, back and shoulders together with headaches. Following Mr S’s instructions, HR notified the insurance company for the third party driver of the claim and within three weeks they had admitted responsibility for the accident. HR then arranged for Mr S to attend for physiotherapy treatment, the cost of which was to be paid by the other side’s insurance company. It is standard practice for medical evidence to be obtained to link the injuries to the accident itself and HR therefore arranged for Mr S to attend a medical appointment with an expert at no cost to him. The medical expert confirmed that Mr S’s injuries were as a result of the accident and that the likely timescale for recovery would be ten months. The insurance company, to start, offered Mr S the sum of £3,200 for his pain and suffering which, after negotiation, was increased to £3,500. There was an additional sum paid for physiotherapy costs and travel expenses. Mr S, with advice from HR, was happy to accept the final sum offered and said the following regarding the whole claims process: ‘a satisfied customer. From the very first phone called to the final letter containing my cheque I found all the members of staff very helpful and professional.’Free Claim Assessment
