Lengthy landlord/tenant case settles in client’s favour
In February 2014, Mr Z had an accident and injured himself at his rented property. After discussing the case with Russell Worth, we were happy to represent Mr Z in a personal injury claim against the letting agency who were responsible for the maintenance of the property. Despite reporting the roof as having a leak, this was not repaired and Mr Z subsequently slipped on the bathroom floor which was wet due to the leak. AH, public liability specialist here at Russell Worth, represented Mr Z in his personal injury claim, responsibility for which was vehemently denied by the letting agency. Whilst negotiations were taking place to come to an agreement with the third party, AH arranged for Mr Z to attend a medical expert who examined him, prepared a report on his injuries and recommended any treatment he felt appropriate to aid his recovery. It was then arranged for Mr Z to attend for physiotherapy as he had sustained an injury to his lumber spine and coccyx. Fortunately, Mr Z's injuries were not long term and he was expected to make a full recovery. Given the difficulties with liability in this case, AH issued Court proceedings to put pressure on the third party to deal with the matter. After some time, to save the cost of attending a Court hearing, the third party put forward an offer of £2,000 to settle the matter which Mr Z, on AH’s advice, was happy to accept. Commenting on the case Mr Z said the following: “100% Happy. I have no concerns about Russel Worth Solicitors. My claim holder was very professional and determined to make my case successful. In 100% I can reccomend Russel Worth Solicitors!”Free Claim Assessment

Fall on uneven ground causes scaphoid fracture
S, of Worcestershire, was leaving work in March 2015 when she fell on uneven ground and sustained injury to her knee together with a scaphoid fracture to her left hand. Unfortunately, S needed to have her hand in a cast for six weeks for which she needed to take time off work. Fortunately, S did not incur any loss of earnings, however, she experienced considerable discomfort and disruption to her daily life. JH, accident at work specialist here at Russell Worth, represented S in a claim against her employers who had failed in their duty to ensure she has safe and unobstructed egress from her place of work. S was represented on a no win no fee basis and an insurance policy was taken out on her behalf to protect her against the otherside’s disbursements should the claim fail. Within four weeks of JH submitting S’s claim to her employers, an admission of responsibility for the accident was received by them. Then began settlement negotiations. In order to ensure the correct level of compensation was sought, and any future medical needs identified, JH arranged for S to attend an independent medical expert. The expert examined S and consulted with her on her injury and ongoing symptoms. The medical expert expected S to make a full recovery from the scaphoid fracture, however, was of the opinion that the injury to her knee had accelerated a degenerative condition by 2-3 years. Following advice from JH, S accepted an award of £11,000 for the injuries she has sustained and a further £551 for additional losses such as care and travel costs. This award was supported by the medical report and previous case law which JH was able to rely upon. Commenting on the case S said the following:- “Excellent. Would recommend. Made it easy for me to claim took me through the process step by step. Good communication and customer service.”Free Claim Assessment

Road Traffic Accident Case Studies
Road traffic accident leaves client in shock
Mrs A came to Russell Worth following a road traffic accident in which she was stationary at a cross road junction waiting to pull out onto the main road. A vehicle on the main road collided with another vehicle before colliding into Mrs A’s vehicle pushing her into the vehicle behind. Mrs A sustained a whiplash injury and was left shocked and shaken following the collision. HR, road traffic accident specialist here at Russell Worth, represented Mrs A in a claim for compensation following her ordeal in which she was in no way at fault. Within two days of notifying the insurance company of the third party of Mrs A’s claim, they had admitted responsibility for it. HR arranged, at no cost to Mrs A, for her to attend an independent medical expert who prepared a report on her injuries and the timescale of recovery. Fortunately Mrs A’s injuries were not serious and she was fully recovered within three weeks. This enabled HR and the third party insurers to negotiate the correct level of compensation that Mrs A should be awarded. Mrs A, following advice from HR, accepted the sum of £1,110 in settlement of her claim and said the following about her experience with Russell Worth:- ‘Excellent service. Quick and efficient service with excellent communication.’Free Claim Assessment
