Case Studies
Serious knee injury claim for Pizza Delivery Driver
Sometimes the claims process can seem like a battle between David and Goliath, because the insurer seems to have all the resources to fight the case, and the injured person is all alone. With Levenes, you are not alone. We will enable you to take on the insurer and fight hard for you.
£50,000 settlement for a factory worker, whose claim was turned down by another firm of solicitors
On many occasions, Levenes have taken over cases from other solicitors when, for whatever reason, the previous solicitors were not able to proceed. We cannot always agree to take over a case in these circumstances, but we consider each case on its merits.
A cyclist hit when a taxi’s rear door opened into her path
Injuries caused by car doors being opened into the path of cyclists and motorcyclists happen quite often and sometimes have very serious and even fatal consequences. Levenes have conducted many of these cases to a successful conclusion and although they can sometimes involve a fight, we do not recall ever losing such a case.
£85,000 settlement after fall from stepladder
These accidents often occur because the wrong type of equipment is used or it is not set up correctly or safely, or it is faulty. Sometimes employers cut corners and unsafe methods of work are used.
A 6-figure compensation for cyclist run over by car
Making a claim for compensation is not just about money, it is also about securing treatment and rehabilitation. In this case, although liability was not admitted, it was still possible to proceed with the case and secure a settlement.
Baby died due to hospital negligence
His Solicitor, Tim Beasley of Levenes Solicitors is calling for a full investigation into how basic medical care of a vulnerable child was neglected with tragic consequences. “There are some disturbing features of this case, not least because previous coroners have highlighted failings after 2 previous “Prevention of Future Deaths” reports and concerns raised by the coroner in previous cases in 2016 and 2017. The performance of the hospital appears to have deteriorated, rather than improved after those deaths. Typically, hospitals make statements that they will learn the lessons after these sorts of cases, but in this case they clearly did not. The management of the hospital trust has serious questions to answer”

Forklift truck injury compensation claim
When an allegation of contributory negligence is raised, it must be proved by the party that raises it, in this case our client’s employer/compensating insurers. We pressed the compensating insurers for evidence, in particular CCTV footage to prove their point but, no evidence was produced. Therefore, we advised our client to reject the allegations against him. We obtained medical evidence to value his claim. We settled the claim on a 100% basis for £20,000.
