\"\"The Liverpool Echo<\/a><\/em> reports that a former chip shop employee is seeking \u00a31million in compensation<\/a> having slipped on a wet surface whilst she was at work.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

It is stated that Sylvia Cheung was at the end of the her shift at the Yang Sing takeaway back in 2008 when she slipped and sustained severe injuries to her head and spinal cord<\/strong>.\u00a0 Unfortunately, it would appear that Ms Cheung will have to use a wheelchair for the rest of her life, and will subsequently need care and assistance<\/strong>.\u00a0 At the High Court, Judge John Leighton Williams QC found that Miss Cheung was 15% responsible for the accident as she knew the floor was slippery and \u2018should have been aware of the risk<\/em><\/strong>\u2019, but found that the chip shop had breached health and safety regulations and was therefore 85% liable for the accident<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you sustained a particularly serious injury as a result of an accident for which you were not responsible, you may be entitled to compensation<\/a> in a similar sum to what Miss Cheung is claiming.\u00a0 When you are dealing with such sums of money, it becomes especially apparent that you need to have a specialist, quality, professional injury lawyer<\/a> with years of experience on your side.\u00a0 It could well be the difference between thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of pounds, in compensation for you.\u00a0
\n<\/p>\n

We at The Injury Lawyers<\/a> have expertise in the area of personal injury law and have experience in dealing with claims of all sizes and of all values.\u00a0 If you instruct The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we can guarantee that we will fight tooth and nail for your claim and ensure that you get the maximum compensation<\/a> you deserve.\u00a0 What\u2019s more, we work on a genuine no win, no fee<\/a> agreement which means that we never charge you a penny for your claim.\u00a0 That is, if you lose the case, which is unlikely because we only take on claims we genuinely believe will be successful, then you do not pay us a penny, and if you win your case, you keep 100% of your compensation<\/strong> as we can recover our costs from the other side.<\/p>\n

The Injury Lawyers service levels are impressive<\/strong>.\u00a0 We vow to contact you at least every 14 days<\/strong> to make sure that you are always up-to-date with your case, and you always know what is going on.\u00a0 We do not know of any other law firm that offers such brilliant service levels<\/strong>.\u00a0 So, if you have had an accident of any kind, and you have suffered an injury and you believe that this accident was not your fault, or not entirely your fault, why not make a quick and free no obligation phone call to The Injury Lawyers today who will happily advise you on your claim<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
