Mrs P

We were instructed by Mrs P, from Amble, Northumberland, following an accident at work. As she was walking in her workplace the floor gave way, resulting in her sustaining a number of serious injuries.

These included a dislocated right shoulder, fracture of the arm, a broken toe and severe bruising to both legs and arms, along with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Mrs P was unable return to her former employment as a result of the injuries,

Her employers admitted responsibility for the accident but their insurers sought to question the nature and extent of the injuries Mrs P had sustained.

The insurers made an initial offer of £75,000. Browell Smith and Co were able to settle her case at a joint settlement meeting where the client recovered double that originally offered by the insurers.

This case demonstrates the ability of Browell Smith & Co to deal with what was a delicate multi-expert disciplinary matter, which involved five experts, pension loss, and extensive past and future losses. We were able to recover significantly more than the insurer’s initial valuation and utilised a joint settlement meeting to prevent the need for a court hearing.

Mrs P said she was extremely satisfied with the service she received from Browell Smith & Co throughout her claim.
