Case Studies
Scaffolding Collapse Accident Compensation Claim
Both Defendants denied liability and blamed each other for the collapse of the scaffolding. In this case, after proceedings were issued, both companies agreed to settle the claim jointly. Issuing proceedings had the effect of concentrating the minds of the insurers to consider their position.
Amputation claim – accident at work
Liability was denied, our client was blamed for causing the accident himself. Proceedings were issued in the High Court and soon after that, the employer’s offered a settlement which was agreed. The settlement will enable the Claimant to have treatment and cosmetic prosthetics to cover up his disfigured hand.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
At Levenes Solicitors, we always look at how we can conclude our client’s cases in the best way possible and that will usually mean trying to settle the claim rather than going to court. Of course, as the old saying goes – “It Takes Two to Tango” and if we cannot settle then we prepare for trial.
Compensation for falling down the staircase
Levenes will always fight to claim the highest compensation possible. We were not impressed with the Defendant’s arguments and one step at a time, we took them down.
E-bike compensation claim against car
The police did not have the driver’s details and but for the witness doing their civic duty, it would not have been possible to make the claim against the driver’s insurance. Anyone at the scene, and there must have been quite a few witnesses, might assume that the police obtained all details, but sadly, that is not always the case.
Settlement reached after Defendants blamed each other
If you are injured in an accident at work where there is more than one potential defendant, we will always look carefully at who may be to blame. Joanna commenting on the case said “It can be a challenge when there is more than one defendant, but by focussing on securing the best outcome for the client, we were able to conclude a good settlement for our client”.
Delivery driver bitten by dog receives compensation
The insurers of the homeowner agreed to settle our client’s claim. The owner should have ensured that the dog was properly restrained when he opened the door. Dogs are well known to be territorial and can perceive visitors as a threat to the home. The owner should have known that and not opened the door until the dog was secure.
Levenes settle claim against client’s previous solicitors
We are quite often asked to review cases for clients who have had other solicitors acting for them. Sometimes we take over the case and see it to a successful conclusion. In one case recently, we had to bring a claim against the previous solicitor for their negligence.
Levenes call for the establishment of an Employers Liability Insurance Bureau
Levenes have dealt with a number of cases recently where the employer has no insurance. Typically, these are small machine shop or factory workshops employing a handful of people. These workplaces use circular saws, band saws and other machines which are very dangerous if not properly maintained.
