Personal injuries sustained as a result of being involved in an accident can be traumatic and life-altering experiences for the injured parties. Whether you have been involved in a road traffic accident, or in an incident in the workplace or a public place, trusting your case to your solicitors is an important decision in superseding the physical injuries, emotional distress, and financial losses more effectively, and it is also crucial for being awarded with the compensation you deserve.

A successful settlement was recently secured by our Personal Injury team for a workplace accident case. Our Client was working as a teacher in her workplace, when a light fitting fell off the ceiling on top of her. As a result of the accident caused by the Defendant’s negligence in properly installing the light fitting our client suffered from physical injuries, financial loses and medical expenses.  

We conducted a thorough evaluation of the matter and notified our client that she had a valid foundation for filing a personal injury claim.

Key Facts of the Case:

• The accident: A light fitting fell in the workplace two days after the replacement made by the Defendant
• Injuries: Pain and stiffness in shoulders, severe neck pain, concussion, dizziness, and torn ligaments
• Losses: Financial damages, medical expenses, and the need for Care and Assistance
• Claims: Breach of duty under the Occupiers Liability Act 1957, Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, and associated safety regulations.

The defendant admitted their breach of duty for the faulty installation, while disputing the chain of causation. 

Our Personal Injury Lawyer Megi Kurti and the Head of Personal Injury Ercan Sami successfully proved causal connection through detailed medical reports and expert evidence. Through negotiation they successfully settled the claim and our client was awarded with the compensation she deserved.

We provided support to our client throughout the whole course of the case, keeping her informed of the progress and addressing any queries she had, while providing adequate legal support. We are proud to have secured a settlement that reflects the seriousness of our client’s injuries and the financial losses our client occurred.
