Mark Turnbull

Serious Injury Compensation Solicitor in Liverpool

Mark Turnbull is a personal injury solicitor based in Thompsons Solicitors' Liverpool office.  Mark has been a qualified solicitor for many years now and has a vast amount of experience of dealing with all different types of personal injury claims.

Mark originally worked in Thompsons' Manchester branch before transferring to Liverpool where he is a team leader within the personal injury unit helping injured people from throughout the North West of England and North Wales to make personal injury compensation claims.

Mark now specialises in accidents which have caused serious injuries and often involve complex circumstances and high-value payments of compensation.  Some of the cases he has dealt with have involved amputations, paralysis, spinal injuries, brain injuries and fatalities.

When instructing a solicitor to deal with a life-changing injury claim it is important to choose someone with the necessary skill and experience to ensure you receive a fair amount of compensation.  Mark is very experienced in recovering sums of compensation to reflect not only the injury his client has received but also the ongoing care and rehabilitation they are likely to need and any future lost earnings.

Mark is a long-standing member of the Executive Committee of The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) and is a Senior Litigator.

Successful Personal Injury Claims

Below, you will find just a small selection of some of the personal injury compensation claims Mark has dealt with in the Liverpool office.

Seriously injured at work

Mark's client in this case was a young man employed within the construction industry who suffered catastrophic and life-changing injuries in an accident at work.  He was hit by an excavator which was travelling along railway lines and was pushed along the lines by the vehicle for quite some distance.

The man who was only in his 20's suffered fractures to his spine and internal injuries which are progressive and irreversible.  The injuries caused constant, permanent pain meaning that he has to take medication for the rest of his life and possibly face surgery in the future.

His employers accepted liability but were not willing to offer a fair amount of compensation so court proceedings were issued.   Before the trial took place Mark managed to negotiate a sum of compensation in excess of £1 million which his client was happy with.

Stairs without handrail cause paraplegia

In this case Mark's client was a woman who was spending the night at a friend's house.  When she woke up in the middle of the night to use the toilet which was downstairs, she couldn't find a light switch to illuminate the stairs.  She got to the bottom safely in the dark and then after using the toilet looked for a light switch before climbing back up. Again she couldn't see a switch so tried to climb the stairs in darkness.

Near the top of the stairs she lost her footing and fell backwards. There was no banister to grab onto and she landed on the floor, suffering broken ribs, a broken vertebrae and spinal cord damage. The accident left her paraplegic and needing to use a wheelchair for the rest of her life.

The defendants denied liability in this case but Mark fought hard arguing that the stairs were unsafe and he managed to obtain a six figure sum of compensation for his client. This will make a significant difference and will enable her to improve the quality of her day to day life.

Trampoline Accident resulted in Amputation

Mark's client in this case was a woman who injured her knee whilst at a trampoline class at her local sports centre.  Despite it being her first time at the class, she was instructed to carry out a complicated manoeuvre and landed awkwardly on her knee.

Her knee was fractured and the blood vessels were damaged beyond repair. Her leg had to be amputated below the knee.

After first denying liability, the defendants made an offer of compensation when Mark started preparing the case for court. Mark rejected their initial offer and managed to negotiate a settlement of £500,000 which was more than double the amount of the original offer.
