Solicitor

Paschal qualified as a Solicitor in 2005 and has worked in the personal industry field ever since, working in most areas of personal injury work. He has substantial experience in dealing with accidents in the workplace and accidents in public. He also has a great deal of experience in dealing with road traffic accident claims.

Paschal has worked on and continues to work on claims which are disputed by the Defendants and pursues them to conclusion, where necessary through Court proceedings. His most memorable settlements have been:

• Occupiers claim in which an individual suffered injury to the sole of his right foot whilst stepping down onto the dancefloor at a nightclub and onto a vodka bottle. Our Client suffered deep lacerations to the sole of his right foot, requiring surgery, which resulted in the tightening of the plantar midfoot tissues in the sole of his foot and compromised the structural integrity of both feet and ankles. He required specially designed footwear for the future to correct the malalignment of his feet and ankles. The matter settled for £22,000.00.
• Occupiers Liability accident claim in which my elderly Client suffered a bimalleolar fracture to her left ankle whilst leaving a church service. She was leaving the churchyard and walking down badly work and poorly maintained stone steps. The Defendant local authority were responsible under statute for the maintenance and repair of this closed Churchyard. They denied fault and attempted to have the Claim redirected to the Church and then Commissioners for the Church of England. They both assisted in confirming that the local authority were responsible. I commenced County Court proceedings and the matter was listed for trial. The Court found in favour of my Client and awarded her £5,000.00.

Paschal is very committed to working to high standards of Client care and has taken cases that have been transferred over from other firms of Solicitors. He qualified as a Solicitor following a career in the Civil Service, where his career concluded in the Employment Tribunals Service.
