Case Studies:

Our client, a male in his 20s, was injured during the course of his part-time employment in March 2024. When delivering a parcel to a home, he stepped onto a defective manhole cover which gave way, resulting in him falling, knee deep, into a sewerage drain.

Jack Dowling took instructions from the client and issued a letter of claim to the home owner alleging negligence in that under the Occupier's Liability Act, the owner had not taken sufficient care to ensure the premises was safe for lawful visitors.

Our letter was passed to the home owner's insurance company who accepted liability after a short investigation.

Reports were obtained from an A&E consultant and a Plastic Surgeon who commented on his scar.

After brief negotiations, a settlement was agreed upon of £20,000.

To our client's satisfaction, the matter was opened and closed, without any unnecessary delays, within 10 months of first instructions.
