one of our clients sat as a pillion passenger on a motorbike, driving on the main road. As a result of dangerous driving, a car pulled out of a side road and collided with the motorbike, knocking our client unconscious.

The Claimant was cycling along Albert bridge, he was waiting for the traffic lights to turn green before he cycled off the bridge. When the lights turned green, the Claimant proceeded forward.

Our client was staying at a hotel during her visit to London. Three days into the trip, the client stepped into the bathtub, when the water was not turned on, and as she stepped in, she slipped and fell down. The client advised that there were not any handles on the wall or the tub to help her get in. Since the accident, she has not had time off from work, and the injury has affected her workload. She also has to get friends to take her shopping and do her chores for her, as she cannot drive and carry out everyday tasks.

Our client was walking to work on a day when it was raining heavily. He stepped on newly laid marble flooring outside a restaurant which was very extremely slippery causing him to fall heavily onto the ground.

The Claimant was working on site installing signal cable. He was asked by his supervisor to go down a 15 foot hole with some cables. There were foot wells down the hole for him to stand on. However, someone from one of the sub contractor companies had tied rope to the foot well, and on this occasion the ropes had incorrectly been tied across the hole and onto the foot well, which is used to climb in/out of the hole. The Claimant was stepping up to exit the man hole, and placed his right foot on the rung. Due to the ropes being tied to the footwell, he slipped and his body became tangled in the ropes.

Our client, a Swedish national, was walking near Waterloo Station in the early hours when he was struck by a taxi, causing catastrophic injuries, including a severe traumatic brain injury, multiple skull and facial fractures, nine fractured ribs and punctured lungs.

Our client whilst away in a hotel contracted legionnaires’ disease as a result of poor water and ventilation system. On returning home, they started to experience flu-like symptoms and spent two weeks under intensive care.

Our client had an accident in their home. They opened a newly-installed window which came away from its fixings and as a result fell on their head and pinned them to the floor, which in turn knocked them unconscious. Our client initially appeared to have memory/amnesia symptoms. Paramedics were called as they appeared confused and forgetful, so were taken to hospital and treated for a head injury. In the weeks following the incident our client had ongoing neck pain, migraines, headaches and concussion, which required medication.

Our client was loading a dumper truck onto the back of a lorry when they slipped off the lorry and their arm was crushed by the roll bar of the dumper.

Our client had to have multiple operations and whilst their walking and hand movement is still limited, they hope to recover movement with ongoing therapy.

Our client works for a large supermarket chain as a maintenance technician. He was instructed to clear a yard of rubbish into a skip. As he was dismantling a wooden crate with a crowbar it ricocheted towards his face and hit him with force in the forehead and eye. A risk assessment had been carried out but it was not noted that goggles were required, so our client was not wearing eye protection – he sustained a major eye injury.

The eye was crushed into 4 pieces, and although his eye was saved he has lost complete sight in his eye. He also suffered severe headaches, flashbacks and depression following the incident.

The Claimant was cycling on his way home. As the Claimant was cycling forward near to the junction, the Defendant driver suddenly turned right without indicating, and cut right in front of the Claimant’s way. As a result, the Defendant collided with the Claimant causing him to go fall onto the road. This caused the Claimant to sustain injuries and losses.

Our client suffered an accident at work. He was walking up a metal staircase, leading to an office, on site when he slipped on the wet slippery staircase causing him to fall down several steps. No caution signs were displayed to alert people to the dangers of water on the metal stairs and there were no foot grips on the stairs. As a result of the fall our client suffered a dislocated shoulder and potential ongoing nerve damage. Our client undergoes ongoing physiotherapy treatment.

Our client was working on a construction site in London when a steel metal beam, sitting on two pieces of timber, caused a concrete slab to fall on top of him and broke his leg. He was operated on the following day to have a steel plate inserted into his leg. Since his operation, our client struggled with his recovery and has experienced difficulties with sleeping, whilst trying to improve on the weight he can put on his injured leg.

Our client was a self-employed carpenter sub contracted to build a framework. Whilst on site he cleared away plywood from his working area and whilst doing so fell three metres down to the next floor. He had not been informed of the hole and, from his fall, he sustained two broken vertebrae, and required surgery to insert two rods and 6 screws to stabilise his spine. There were a good number of people working at the site but nobody made him aware that plywood had been used to cover up the hole. Our client has not worked since the accident and struggles with many daily tasks that, before his accident, he would have found find quite easy to undertake. Further surgery has been undertaken and physio is ongoing.

Our client was working for a major housebuilding company. He was instructed by the site manager to fit some low drains and drop drains. Our client asked whether he was able to not perform this task, as it was raining and the building was on slanted; he believed it to be unsafe.

The site manager still instructed him to do this as there was an inspection the following day. Our client proceeded to do the work and had to use only a set of ladders as there was no scaffolding erected. His foot slipped off the ladder due to the wet weather and he fell. His leg got caught in the ladder as a result, causing him leg injuries and financial losses.

He had two surgeries to insert metal rods into his leg and spent around 3 weeks in hospital in total. He was not able to walk freely on the leg before about 8 weeks and is currently using a crutch to get around the home. As part of his recovery, he has now started physiotherapy.

Our client was passenger in a car, travelling in the rear when the vehicle was involved in a high speed collision on the motorway.

As a result of the incident our client suffered a significant fracture to her neck. Initially she could not move her fingers and toes or feel her limbs in the aftermath of the accident. She wore a brace for a few months and then underwent physiotherapy.

After a period of long-term care, the client was advised that she did not require an operation on her neck which was a huge relief and our client continued with her physiotherapy and made an exceptional recovery. The accident did, however, affect her life in many ways, including disrupting her education.

Our client was not wearing a seatbelt, at the time of the accident, and medical evidence indicated that the injuries would have been lessened had she been doing so.

When settling the claim consideration was given to pain, suffering, loss of amenity, physiotherapy charges, private treatment costs, potential loss of earnings and potential future loss of earnings.
