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

Settlement:  £12,500

What happened:

Our client sustained injuries after falling through the floor of her upstairs bedroom at a rented property. The accident occurred due to the negligence of a housing agency responsible for the condition of the premises.

The bedroom floor consisted solely of chipboard and had been left unfinished, creating a dangerous hazard. Despite numerous complaints being made to the housing agency regarding the unsafe condition of the property, no adequate remedial action was taken. As a result, the property was not fit for purpose and posed a significant risk to occupants.

How HHD Solicitors helped:

We initially sought to resolve the matter through early discussions with the Defendant. However, when no offer of compensation was forthcoming, it became necessary to issue court proceedings to progress the claim.

We carefully prepared the case and continued to pursue the matter robustly on behalf of our client. As a result of our efforts, we successfully secured compensation of £12,500 for our client’s injuries without the need for a court hearing.

This outcome ensured our client received fair compensation while avoiding the additional stress and uncertainty of attending court.
