£32,300 For Work Accident In Ellesmere Port

We have successfully helped a client claim £32,337.35 for a slip at work which resulted in hip replacement surgery.

The client, a contracted cleaner working for a company in Ellesmere Port, reached out to us after seeing signs for Personal Injury Claims on a No Win No Fee basis. On the 15th April 2021, our client was walking in the canteen of her workplace when she slipped on spilt gravy located on the floor. She fell heavily to the floor and sustained an injury to her left hip, which resulted in a break.

This caused the claimant to be taken by ambulance to the hospital, where she was admitted for 11 days and underwent successful hip replacement surgery. However, the suffering did not stop there and she needed to take several months off work following the accident to recover.

We wanted to help the claimant gain the highest level of Hip Injury Compensation possible to acknowledge her injuries and long-lasting impacts on her health. We began investigating who was liable for the incident and liability was subsequently admitted by the insurers.

Our team prioritised the client’s health and following receipt of medical reports, we arranged cognitive behavioural therapy.  We continually supported her throughout, ensuring that her concerns were listened to and guiding her through the options available to help her recover.

We attempted settlement with the liable party, however no reasonable offers were forthcoming. We knew how far-reaching the implications of the incident were for our client, from affecting her physical and mental health, to a loss of earnings due to not being able to return to work immediately. We wanted to gain the maximum payout which would account for these impacts, and so firmly took action for our client.

In order to progress matters, we prepared the necessary Particulars of Claim and issued the court proceedings. Following this, the defendant put forward a Part 36 offer of £32,377.35 on the 28th July 2023 which the client duly accepted. This settlement covered compensation for pain, suffering and loss of amenity, medical expenses, care and assistance and a 10% need for future surgery to her hip. Our proactive approach in prioritising client needs enabled us to gain the best outcome for her.
