Now before you wonder how someone can sue for a trip on their own property, I need to let you know a little more about the background of this one.

Mrs S was the victim of a defective pathway trip in her back garden as the pathway was in considerable disrepair. The property was a rented property and as such there is a duty on the landlord to ensure their tenants are reasonably safe.

There was knowledge of an issue and it was not acted upon – unfortunately Mrs S fell victim to a large defect on the pathway which resulted in considerable damage to her teeth.

We are very happy that we have managed to secure a fantastic payout for our client Miss S who was awarded £14,500 in compensation when she was the victim of a collapsing chair in a restaurant. All four of the chair legs came apart resulting in a horrific fall where our client sustained several unfortunate injuries as a result.

The Motor Insurers Bureau (or MIB for short – no affiliation with the Men In Black!) are a not-for-profit organisation who have an agreement with our government and the insurance industry to compensate the victims of uninsured and untraced drivers. They investigate claims just like an insurer would do and they agree to pay out on behalf of the untraced insurer for valid claims, and they are funded through motor insurance premiums.

We’re pleased to have been able to secure a modest £1,000 settlement for Miss L who suffered minor injuries in these exact circumstances.

A case that proves the importance of proof!

Certainly not the easiest of claims to win – Our client stepped on an abandoned packet of fruit sweets left on the floor of the shopping mall she worked at resulting in a fractured elbow and ongoing shoulder problems.

As you can expect, these kinds of cases are very hard to win – but when you have The Injury Lawyers fighting your corner for the case, we’ll take it all the way if we think we can beat our opponent!

Slip compensation claims can always be tricky to win – but when you have The Injury Lawyers fighting your corner, you have the best possible chance at winning a settlement!

Mrs S. who chose wisely to pursue her claim with The Injury Lawyers has been awarded just short of £5,500.00 in settlement of her claim after she slipped on metal stairs at work. The combination of the metallic material of the steps together with moisture were contributing factors to the fall.
