Mrs P instructed our personal injury department to deal with her claim and a claim was brought against her employers. Our client was working in a local Lidl supermarket trying to move a cage trolley full of heavy frozen goods to the bakery when one of the wheels came off causing the trolley to topple over. She trapped her arm between the cage trolley and the bakery wall.
Insurers for Lidl admitted responsibility for the accident and the Solicitor dealing with the claim, Maria Pilkington proceeded to obtain a medical report from a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon. An MRI scan was also arranged and funded by the Defendant’s Insurers so that the Orthopaedic Surgeon could provide his diagnosis and prognosis.
It was initially thought our client fractured her arm but it later transpired it was soft tissue damage. In addition to claiming compensation for her injury our client also claimed loss of earnings whilst off she was unable to work, travel expenses and for care her mother provided to her whilst she was recovering.
Following negotiations with the insurers, we successfully recovered just under £8000 for our client.
