Notable Cases

  • Louise represented a man involved in a motorway accident who suffered both physical and psychological injuries. He was subsequently diagnosed with chronic pain. The defendant insurer refused to negotiate or engage in a meaningful settlement meeting. Through her representation and advice her client was awarded almost £200,000 at court. Louise was able to secure an extra £20,000 in interest for him.
  • Louise’s client sustained a peripheral nerve injury following a nasty motor accident. His claim was valued at just over £2,800,000. Louise engaged a Case Manager to assist with her client’s rehabilitation by arranging treatments to alleviate his pain and psychological symptoms thereby helping to maximise his recovery. Louise obtained a number of interim payments from the insurers to reduce her client’s financial hardship caused whilst he was unable to work, before successfully settling his claim at a Joint Settlement Meeting.

Louise assisted an amputee, with the instruction of specialists, to help treat her client’s phantom pain. She subsequently arranged for him to be seen by a prosthetic expert to help explain the types available and the likely rehabilitation outcome. Appropriate specialists and experts were instructed in relation to necessary care needs.

Louise assisted another client who sustained a cauda equina injury following a serious fall from some scaffolding.

Louise assisted a young girl (and her family) who sustained a head injury as a result of a road traffic accident.

The client sustained a severe back injury as a result of a motorcycle accident. He received £70,000 together with his financial losses.

Louise’s client sustained a nasty wrist injury and after a number of failed operations, expert medical opinion recommended a total wrist replacement. The claim was settled in the region of £200,000.

Louise successfully recovered damages of over £200,000 for a man injured following a slipping accident.

I found this company online, they have been very helpful all the way from the beginning, right through to my settlement figure. If anyone has an accident at work and isn’t their fault, please use Hodge Jones & Allen they are fabulous. I can’t thank them enough.”
  • “I would recommend this solicitors firm, I had a work-related accident back in 2019, I got in touch with these solicitors in October 2020. They took my claim on and all the way through, they have advised and kept me up to date with everything. I would like to say if you have an accident at work with no fault of your own, then get in touch with this firm. Thank you again Louise and Chris for everything you have done for me.”

"Brilliant service. I was very very happy."

  • “Brilliant service from start to finish. My morale was at rock bottom when I sort help from HJA to act on my behalf after seeing an advert on TV. I had suffered a serious injury at work which affected my physical and mental well-being. I never thought they would take my case seriously. A few months after making a claim, a gentleman from HJA contacted me and gave me his direct number and reassured me that they were taking my claim seriously and they believed they could help me. This put me at ease straightaway and the relationship began. I received regular updates via email and letters and I provided any information they required and attended various appointments needed to help build my case. Case took up to 3 years to resolve, I was pleased with the outcome and very happy to pay any fees due to HJA for all their hard work. Massive thank you to senior associate Louise Jukes and her team.”
