Successful Personal Injury Claims
Below, you will find just a small selection of some of the personal injury compensation claims Michael has dealt with in the Middlesbrough office.
Motorcycle Accident
In this case, Michael's client was a firefighter who was knocked off his motorcycle by another motorist pulling out from a side road without giving way.
The client had many operations performed on his ankle to try and repair the damage but they were not successful and eventually the client had to have his leg amputated below the knee.
He was obviously unable to carry on working as a firefighter and suffered with post traumatic stress disorder as well as becoming depressed. Michael fought hard in this case to recover a substantial sum of compensation for the client which took into account the care he would need in the future and his loss of employment.
Manual Handling Accident
Michael's client in this case was a nurse who injured his spine after lifting heavy objects in work. After suffering the injury he was given alternative duties which didn't involve so much manual handling.
Michael worked hard to obtain an admission of liability from the client's employers and then had to reject several low offers before finally recovering a suitable sum in compensation for the client.
