Our client was a rear seat passenger in a car when the driver started to read a text message.  As a result the car left the road and hit a bank, causing it to turn over.  Our client suffered soft tissue injuries to her neck and back, and also sustained a severe cut to her elbow leaving a visible scar.  We were able to recover personal injury compensation for her of £3,200.

A brief summary of events is set out below.

Our client was cycling along a road, and was positioned near the centre of the road about to turn right when a vehicle tried to overtake him and knocked him off his bike.  He sustained cuts and bruises to his knee and elbow, and also suffered from back pain.  We were able to recover personal injury compensation for him of just over £3,100.

Our client was employed in the storeroom at his work, which was meant to be a dry and clean area at all times, when he developed a rash and swelling to his face and eyes.  Earlier that day he had been sorting out the “spill kits”, which were used whenever a spillage occurred.  These kits contained a small bag for the spillage to be put in and ties to secure around the top of the bag to seal the spillage.  However, one of the bags was not secured with a tie and this resulted in our client being exposed to the spilt epoxy resin.  This caused him to develop a rash and soreness of the eyes.  He was found to have become sensitized to epoxy resin, which means that whenever he is exposed to any quantity of this substance in the future he will suffer similar symptoms.  His opportunities for finding similar types of work are therefore limited.  As a result we were able to recover personal injury compensation for him of £5,600.
