Local Council Negligence

Our client was 37 and working full time in healthcare information technology when she caught her foot on an uneven surface walking home with her father.

Although the tarmac on the road was broken and uneven at a crossing point our client did not try to  claim initially. However nearly three years after the accident she was still suffering from pain and decided to contact us for advice.

We immediately arranged for her to see a Consultant Orthopedic surgeon who advised her that the injury would need surgery. We advised our client that she had a good case and that we would be happy to act on her behalf.

The Council denied liability for the accident and, unusually, the case went to trial where we were successful in obtaining compensation for our client.
