HHD solicitor: Katrina Lagan, Solicitor, specialising in personal injury claims

Settlement: £7,000

What happened: During gas works being carried out in our client’s apartment complex by Kier contractors, he tripped and fell over a metal plate on the ground.

How HHD solicitors helped: We were able to pursue a claim against the contractor for negligence and breach of statutory duty. A necessary element for any successful claim for personal injury compensation is establishing fault and it is for the Defendant to prove that they took all reasonable steps to comply with their duty of care. This matter settled out of court and our client was awarded £7,000 for the injuries he sustained.

Our client was delighted to receive the compensation due so promptly after pursuing the claim. If you have had an accident in a public place which has caused you an injury you may be entitled to make a personal injury claim for compensation.  To find out more about how our specialist personal injury lawyers could help you, please email on katrinalagan@hhdsolicitors.com
