£150,000 settlement following accident with Cherry PickerSettlement agreed by Levenes Birmingham team
Mr James * who was a self employed block paver suffered injuries during the course of his work on a construction site when he was run over by a Cherry Picker being driven by an employee of one of the site contractors. Primary liability was admitted but the Defendants through their Solicitors sought to argue that Mr James was also partially to blame. Those arguments were rejected on Mr James’s behalf and eventually the Defendants accepted liability on a full 100% basis. Mr James sustained a combination of soft-tissue abrasions, burns and bruising to his abdomen and right thigh and fractures to his right foot. He was left with residual symptoms in his right thigh and right foot which were permanent in nature. He was left with some scarring to the abdomen, right thigh and heel which was also permanent and which would not be improved in appearance by cosmetic surgery. As a result of the injuries sustained Mr James had to give up his pre-accident employment, although he has been able to return to employment as an Agency Driver.
Following the issue of Court Proceedings and detailed and lengthy negotiations between the parties Mr James received £150,000.00 damages.
Mr James was represented by experienced Accident at Work Personal Injury Litigator, John McPherson of Levenes Birmingham Office.
