Our client was returning home when he tripped on a pavement which builders had left in an unfinished state.  He sustained injuries to his chin, upper lip and nose leaving some scarring, and also had bruising to his elbow, hip and leg.  Most of the injuries settled within 6 weeks, but the scar on his upper lip will feel permanently numb.  Dental treatment was also required for a damaged tooth.  We were able to recover personal injury compensation for him of just over £8,000.

Our client was attending a themed evening at a nightclub, and as he walked across the dance floor he stepped on a broken bottle.  The glass went through his footwear causing a deep cut to his foot, which has resulted in permanent tendon and nerve damage.  We were able to recover personal injury compensation for him of £4,500.

Our client was employed to drive a car transporter.  After securing a car he was descending from the transporter when he placed his foot where there should have been a ladder.  The area did not have a non-slip surface and he slipped causing him to fall several feet to the ground.  He sustained soft tissue injuries to his shin and twisted his ankle and knee.  The injuries caused him to be off work for 9 weeks, but he made a full recovery after about 7 months.  We were able to recover personal injury compensation for him of just under £4,000.
