Mr A client was working on a construction site when he was run over by an excavator. His injuries were life-changing, and he was left unable to work. The accident turned his world upside down – financially, physically and emotionally.
His previous solicitors struggled with the case because several companies were involved, and there were arguments about who was responsible. The case wasn’t progressing. Mr A felt stuck and worried about his family’s future and that his previous solicitors thought the case was too hard. After reading our reviews, he came to us for help.
How Aequitas helped:
When we took over the Mr A’s case, we didn’t accept the excuses or delays that had held back progress. We:
- Investigated all parties properly, even though liability was complicated.
- Challenged the defendants, even when they refused to admit responsibility.
- Secured early funding for medical treatment and rehabilitation to help him recover sooner.
- Built a strong, detailed case showing how the accident had happened and how serious the impact was.
- Worked closely with medical experts to prove the long-term consequences of his injuries.
By pushing the case forward and refusing to let the defendants delay or deny responsibility, we were able to achieve the outcome he deserved.
Outcome for our client:
Before Mr A’s case settled, he and his family had been relying on charity support to buy presents for Christmas. The result we helped him achieve made a life‑changing difference. We were able to settle Mr A’s case for £2.2 million, giving our him and his family financial security and the ability to rebuild their lives. Although no amount of money can allow him to recover from the permanent physical effects of his injuries, the settlement means he and his family can access the care, support and stability they need for the future.
