You may have heard of the McDonald’s coffee lawsuit (Liebeck v. McDonald’s Restaurants) where the victim successfully sued because of the high temperature of the drink. Whilst those kinds of cases are now few and far between (although we have dealt with some) the more common coffee burn claims involve the lids and containers being defective or unsecured.

In this case our client was badly scolded because she placed the cup of coffee to her lips to drink it and the lid had not been put on properly. This resulted in significant scolding to the chest and stomach area.

Our client was the victim of a nasty hit on the head when the cable of the weights machine he was using snapped and struck his head with force. It could have been a lot worse if he had been hit by some weights or another part of the machinery!

He received a cut to the head that required glue treatment at hospital, and we have successfully won a fantastic payout of £4,000 despite the other side trying to dispute the case.

It can be a complex area of law and there are some inexperienced lawyers out there who are not qualified enough to represent you for this sort of case. Read on for a further insight.

Our client was the unfortunate victim of a slipping accident in a nightclub where the floor was wet; likely due to spilled beverages.
