£40,000 for injured workman turned away by local firm

Mr D suffered a slipping injury at work when he slipped on a discarded piece of plastic, resulting in him suffering a shoulder injury.

Initially he approached a local Bury firm who declined to take his case on following which he approached Aston Knight Solicitors who duly accepted the case.

After securing an admission of liability we obtained specialist expert evidence and issued court proceedings in order to secure a fair settlement. Whilst the defendant solicitors put up a difficult stance throughout the case, ultimately, and following a period of lengthy negotiations, a settlement of £40,000 was reached with which Mr D was delighted. Following conclusion of his case Mr D commented:

“I cannot thank you and James enough for all your help on this !!

If anyone ever needs a solicitor, I will sure be forwarding Aston Knights details. Great service I received!!”

Solicitor James Winterbottom who dealt with the case comments: “This is yet another example of the importance of securing a specialist solicitor with a proven success track record. Many cases, such as this, can be unreasonably opposed by the defendant solicitors but provided the right steps are taken in litigation, usually a favourable result can be obtained.”
