Medical Negligence
Pearson Legal
Full Credential Description
Our client slipped and hurt herself getting out of a lift in a well known superstore, but when the supermarket chain denied any liability throughout the case we fought hard for her and they eventually settled the week before trial paying her £8,500 in compensation. Personal Injury Claim The client, a 65 year old lady, suffered injuries to her hip, knee and big toe and had to be taken to the Royal Oldham A&E after she slipped on wet flooring in the superstore. She has had repeated pain since then almost two years after the accident, will possibly need remedial surgery following a previous hip replacement and will have to endure months of physiotherapy.
The Defendant The particulars of the claim were that the company had failed to take any reasonable care to see that lawful visitors would be reasonably safe using the premises. We successfully claimed that the defendant had failed to ensure the spillage of liquid was removed immediately or as soon as practicable. “From a tactical point of view, it is sometimes better to hold your nerve as more often than not a settlement can be achieved outside of a Court hearing even when liability is denied,” she advised.
In this case my client has endured pain and suffering through no fault of her own and I am pleased we were able to get an out of court settlement for her,” added Lisa.
