Notable Cases
- A 61 year old chef who suffered a fall whilst walking down a narrow staircase which was in a poor condition. He sustained a right knee injury which accelerated a patellofemoral joint degeneration which was previously asymptomatic by a period of three to five years. The Defendant admitted liability for the accident and the Claimant was awarded £47,500.
- A 68 year old lady who slipped on wet floor during a visit to her local supermarket causing a rotator cuff shoulder injury which required surgical intervention. The case settled for £22,000.
- A 57 year old pedestrian who was hit by an oncoming vehicle when he stepped out into the road. He sustained a dislocated glenohumeral joint which resulted in a prominent deformity on his shoulder. The Defendant Insurers initially admitted liability and thereafter withdrew their admission. Liability was agreed on a split liability basis, 25% in the Claimant’s favour. The Claimant received £3,000 in damages.

- “The team at HJA showed empathy and the highest level of professionalism to my situation, and turned around a possible injustice, in my not getting compensation, for an accident the driver had admitted liability for which had seriously impacted on both my physical and mental well being… I’m extremely grateful. I wouldn’t give 5 stars if it wasn’t deserved and it certainly was in my case. Many thanks again Hodge Jones & Allen particularly Usheena.”
