Client Cases

  • £10,000 for Child Injured in Hit and Run
    Our client was 8 years old when he became the victim of a hit and run incident. He suffered a deep cut to his forehead which required stitches, loss of sensation in his forehead, minor cuts to his lip, chin and arm and also soft tissue injuries to his legs and arms. He also suffered psychological damages. The driver was uninsured and so a claim was made to the Motor Insurer's Bureau (MIB). After a medical and psychological report was obtained, our client received a settlement of £10,000. As he was a minor at the time of the incident, the compensation will be paid into an investment account until his 18th birthday.
  • Shopping ‘Trip’ Leads to £22,000 Payout
    Our client was shopping with her family in a local shopping centre. As she made her way into a shop, she tripped and fell over an item which had been left on the floor. She placed her hands out to save herself, but as a result suffered a jarring injury to her shoulder. This resulted in pain and short term restriction of movement. Our client required private treatment to remedy her continuing symptoms, and this was needed sooner rather than later to secure her long term health. Thanks to our expert evidence and swift action, an interim payment was made to cover her private medical fees. We ultimately achieved a payout of £22,000 for our client, who happily made a full recovery.

Hello, would you like to ask me a question?

Ask John Hall a Question

  • Can you help with rehabilitation and support?

    When seeking compensation we will also ensure that any costs associated with support and rehabilitation are taken into account. We view the after-care of an injury or illness as being just as important as financial compensation and will help you access the rehabilitation care and support needed for you and your family.

  • What is the process of making a claim?

    We will keep you informed throughout the whole claims process. Depending on the nature of your case the process of making a claim can vary, some cases can be settled fairly quickly whereas the more complex cases involving a number of defendants may take a lot longer. Once we have assessed your case and established that you have a viable claim, we start the investigation thoroughly by gathering all relevant documentation e.g. incident reports, witness statements, medical records. Once we have all the information we will be able to advise on your chances of winning your case and then put forward the claim to the guilty party and their insurers. Although some cases do go to court the majority of claims are negotiated and settled outside of the courts.

  • How much compensation will I receive?

    The amount of compensation you receive is dependant on a number of factors and each case will be treated on an individual basis. Factors include the seriousness of the injury or illness, how your life has been affected as a result, how much money you have lost or will lose as a consequence and the long-term impact on your life. We will assess your case and let you know from the outset, what is involved and how your opponent’s insurers and the courts work, in order to give you an idea of how much compensation you may receive. We will keep you informed as your case progresses to provide a more accurate idea of how much compensation you could receive. Rest assured, we will do everything we can to recover the maximum amount of compensation available.

  • Are there time limits to making a claim?

    There are time limits for making a claim for compensation, but each case will be considered on its own facts, the circumstances and the nature of the case. Generally court proceedings must be brought 3 years from when the accident or injury occurred or when diagnosis was confirmed. The courts can use their discretion, provided that there is good reason for delay, however, it is very important that a claim is pursued as soon as possible. Time limits do not apply to children or people who are unable to act due to mental incapacity.

  • What is No Win No Fee?

    If we feel that you have a viable case we will offer a No Win No Fee agreement, also known as a Conditional Fee Arrangement (CFA). This is a guarantee that if you lose your case, you do not have to pay anything and therefore avoids putting you at any financial risk. If you win your case, we can claim some or all of your legal costs directly from the defendant’s insurers. However, due to a change in the law from 1st April 2013, you may have to make some contribution towards your legal costs which will be deducted from any compensation awarded to you. You will not be expected to pay anything until you have received your compensation. Any deduction will not exceed 25% of the damages awarded. Any award for general damages that you recover in respect of claims commenced after 1st April 2013 will be increased by 10% to offset any fees that may be payable.
