When you have been injured, it can be a daunting prospect, trying to get compensation, picking your way through all that needs to be done, talking to Insurers, loss adjusters, medical experts and solicitors instructed by your opponent.
The temptation is not to bother, or to say ‘yes’ to one of those very annoying people who cold-call you having purchased your details from somewhere, or who stop you in the street – not generally a good idea.
But if you have been injured by someone else, you need the best assistance you can find to help you get the compensation you need, and deserve. The difference you will find with us is that we prefer to make time to meet you and take your instructions face-to-face, so that we can get to know you and understand your case properly and give you the best legal advice and guidance we can.
The Specialist team at Stephens & Son LLP deals with a wide variety of claims, including slips and trips, accidents at work, accidents involving children, road accidents and fatal accident claims.
We offer a free initial appointment of 30 minutes so that we can assess the case with you and discuss how it can be funded. We offer Conditional Fee agreements in appropriate cases.
Recent cases
A successful claim was brought against a Local Authority on behalf of an elderly woman who fell on a defective pathway, sustaining a serious injury to her foot. The Local Authority denied liability and the case went to a full trial. After hearing the evidence and after visiting the site (the Local Authority had stated that as they did not regard the defect as dangerous, they would not repair the area), the Judge found that the defect was dangerous, and the claim succeeded.
A claim was brought on behalf of an HGV driver who suffered very serious injury to his leg and hip when he was knocked from the tailgate of a vehicle by a ‘palletiser’ driven by another employee. Although liability was admitted, the value of the claim was fiercely disputed. The defendant made a low initial offer which the claimant rejected. The defendant then made an even lower offer which was also rejected. The claimant then took steps in preparation of trial before the claim eventually settled for a six figure sum - considerably more that the defendant had first offered.
