Claimant successful secure compensation for slipping in JD Wetherspoon on spillage from leaking toilet
The Claimant went to a toilet cubicle in JD Wetherspoons in Derby and as he walked into the cubicle, he slipped on water which had leaked from a toilet, which hadn’t been repaired. The Claimant was knocked unconscious for a short period before returning to his family in the pub. The pub chain accepted fault but didn’t accept the extent of the symptoms complained of by the Claimant.
However, the Claimant obtained supporting evidence from two medical experts, an Orthopaedic Surgeon and a Hand Surgeon who supported the fact that whilst the Claimant banged his elbow in the accident, the subsequent pain he was feeling in his lower arm and wrist were indirectly linked to the accident to which he required two operations. The Claimant claimed only for personal injury compensation and settled his claim for £20,0000.

Claimant injured whilst delivering a sofa successfully challenged medical evidence increasing value of claim by £10,000.00
I represented a Claimant who sustained a complicated knee injury whilst delivering a sofa.
The Defendant admitted liability and the Claimant was examined by a Consultant Orthopaedic expert who reviewed the Claimant’s medical records.
The Claimant had a history of knee problems which included undergoing knee surgery. However the Claimant had been symptom free for 4 years before the accident.
Initially the expert suggested the accident caused a minor injury that resolved within a few months and any ongoing symptom were not accident related. However upon further consideration of the Claimant’s medical records and the Claimant’s testimony regarding his pre and post- accident capacity, the expert extended this prognosis to 3 – 5 years.
The claim settled without the need to issue proceedings and includes an award for personal injury, care and assistance, travel and medical expenses.
