Our Dispute Resolution Team’s Lee Silk and Jack Plummer were recently successful in securing a favourable settlement for our client in her personal injury claim, acting on the basis of a conditional fee agreement (‘no win, no fee’).
Our client suffered a personal injury during an incident in 2021. An unapplied handbrake allowed a large and unmanned vehicle to reverse into our client, causing her to become trapped and requiring immediate hospital treatment. The incident left our client facing various physical and psychological injuries.
Curzon Green were instructed the week after the incident. Pre-action correspondence was exchanged with the Defendant and liability was denied throughout. Expert evidence opining on the extent of our client’s injuries was required from various specialist fields of experts, including orthopaedic surgeons, a clinical psychologist, and a trauma surgeon.
Proceedings were subsequently issued ahead of the imminent limitation deadline. The claim included complex and high value claims for pain, injury loss and damage, including for treatment expenses, and care and assistance costs.
Shortly after proceedings were issued, settlement negotiations were fruitful and resulted in a favourable settlement being reached for our client on confidential terms, including provision for her legal costs. Curzon Green is proud of the outcome that has been achieved for our client and wishes her all the best with her ongoing recovery.
