Work Accident
Petrol station slipping Injury Claim Ruislip Middlesex
Miss H is a 45-year-old woman from Ruislip in Middlesex. She is currently employed as a Beautician/Nail Technician who was injured whilst visiting a petrol station.
The circumstances of the accident were that Miss H had walked through the entrance and slipped due to the presence of a wet and slippery floor. She caught her left foot and slipped forwards and as she did this, she caught the same on the edge of a metal shelf resulting in injuries namely a laceration and fracture of her left big toe.
Our client received treatment for the injuries at the A & E Department of her local hospital but required 10 days off work as a result of this accident.
Grieves Solicitors was chosen to assist the Claimant in obtaining the compensation she was rightfully due for her personal injury (pain, suffering and loss of amenity) and her loss of earnings, cost of care and assistance provided to her by her family as a result of housework, shopping and walking her dog which she could not do as a result of her injuries recovery and travel costs paid out in attending various appointments (special damages).
Liability was denied throughout in this case and we issued and served Court Proceedings before the 3rd year anniversary of the Claimant’s accident.
The value of this case meant this case was issued and allocated to the Fast Track, which is the track Courts use for any case under £15,000. Both parties filed directions questionnaires and requested the matter be stayed for 3 months so attempts could be made to settle this claim
This was successful and within a month of receiving such a Court Order, the claim was settled.
