Case Studies
Settlement for injury caused by defective manhole cover
When the case was concluded, the client stated: ‘Couldn’t recommend enough. Very professional team who fully understand you, and keep you updated at all process. Very huge thanks to Ewa and Tim for dealing with my case. They will help you on every step, explain the whole process, tell you how much time it takes. My little advice – it’s worth to wait longer and follow their advice as everything they are doing – they are doing it to deal with your case the best as they can.’
Levenes settle back injury claim for £180,000.00
In the negotiations, issues included when, but for the accident, the client might have been able to continue working. He had some degenerative changes in his spine which were not due to the accident. It is very common for people to have these changes without any symptoms and in this case, he had been able to work. We argued that he loved his work and had every reason to work beyond normal retirement. This helped in the negotiations to achieve a reasonable settlement of the claim.
Multi-million pound personal injury settlement
Levenes have settled the claim of a very severely brain injured man for £11m. The parties met to seek a negotiated settlement but that did not initially succeed. Nevertheless, the insurers then made an improved offer. This was considered with the assistance of a specialist financial adviser and Leading Counsel and following on from that, it was possible to agree settlement. As the client was not able to decide if the offer should be accepted, the court was asked to approve the settlement which it did.
£60,000 settlement for motorcyclist injured by pedestrian
One of the distinctive features of this case is the fact that the pedestrian who caused the accident was insured. This element played a pivotal role in the successful resolution of our client’s claim. Levenes Solicitors diligently gathered evidence, including medical reports, witness statements, and an accident scene analysis. Negotiations with the insurance company’s legal representatives were persistent and skilfully pursued.
Dublin Annual Conference PEOPIL
Tim and Isidoro have been members of PEOPIL for a number of years now and are regular attendees of the annual conferences. On this occasion, the annual Conference in Dublin received lawyers from various jurisdictions in Europe, America and South Africa. In total, lawyers from 24 jurisdictions acting for Claimants all over the world were in attendance.
Initial offer of £5,500.00 and settlement of £115,000.00 after taking over the claim from previous solicitors
Just to illustrate the significance of instructing the right firm of solicitors in a situation like this. When the previous solicitors submitted this claim as a low value claim, the defendant’s insurer made an offer to settle the whole of the claim for £5,500! This is less than 5% of the actual settlement we achieved for the client. Fortunately for our client he instructed us to take over the claim and we of course advised him to reject that offer. But one can only imagine what could have happened if he stayed with his previous solicitors.
Levenes recovered high compensation for a construction worker
Eventually, the Defendants liaised and agreed to negotiate, in order to reduce the legal costs of the ongoing litigation. The Claimant has received an out of court settlement, which will enable him to arrange surgery for his knee on a private basis. The settlement will also compensate for his future loss of earnings, medical and travel expenses and the care and assistance that he received from his family. The compensation that he received includes a component compensating him for the disadvantage on the open labour market, as his injury reduces his opportunities on the job market.
Annual Convention of the American Association for Justice
Levenes have an international outlook thanks to having so many solicitors who speak a foreign language and that outlook includes to the USA where although English is the dominant language there is a large Spanish speaking population too. Where clients in England and Wales are injured in an accident in the USA, whether as part of a package tour or during independent travel, we can work with American law firms to ensure that justice is achieved for those clients.
Settlement for Fractured Finger
In this case, our client was fortunate not to suffer more serious injuries. The case study section of our website is full of these cases, some of which involved such serious injuries that settlements between hundreds of thousands of pounds and millions of pounds were awarded.
