HHD Solicitor:  Eimear O’Donoghue, Litigation Solicitor specialising in personal injury claims

Settlement:  £17,500

What happened:

Our client sustained injuries following an accident at work caused by the negligence of her colleagues. Plastic materials had been carelessly discarded in the workplace, creating a hazard.

As a result, our client fell and suffered injuries to her shoulder and elbow. The incident had a significant impact on her ability to carry out her daily activities and work.

How HHD Solicitors helped:

The client’s employer initially denied liability for the accident. However, we were confident that the circumstances of the incident demonstrated a clear failure to maintain a safe working environment.

To strengthen the case, we instructed an independent engineer to provide an expert report. The report supported our client’s position, confirming that the discarded plastic materials should have been removed and that proper procedures had not been followed.

With this evidence, we successfully challenged the denial of liability and secured compensation for our client’s injuries, as well as her loss of earnings resulting from the accident.

We achieved a settlement of £17,500, providing our client with financial support and recognition of the impact the accident had on her life.
