Mrs H was delighted her claim had settled saying: “Kathryn is a pleasure to have dealt with my claim, very professional, honest and punctual, my experience was great and successful outcome, I would highly recommend, trustworthy and did what was expected and great guidance”.
We dealt with a claim for Mrs H from South Wales after she suffered a crush injury to her foot following an accident at work. She was employed as a cleaner and had entered a warehouse to collect stock. The entrance was via a plastic curtain and a colleague moving stock using a forklift truck did not sound his horn on nearing the other side of the curtain. He was also driving backwards rather than forwards obstructing his view. He collided with Mrs H who was on the other side of the curtain crushing her foot.
Liability was denied by her employers saying she entered the warehouse and was speaking to the forklift driver. They said it was Mrs H who came back in the direction she had come from colliding with the forklift truck. We believed Mrs H would succeed in her claim at Trial so we proceeded to obtain medical evidence in support of her injuries and then issued court proceedings. Once proceedings were issued, the Defendant’s Solicitor made Mrs H an offer to settle her claim of £4000 which she accepted. This was compensation for her pain, suffering and loss of amenity together with her travel expenses.
