Successful Personal Injury Claims

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

Leg Amputated after Accident at Work

Nicholas' client in this case was a man who had to have his leg amputated after an accident at work.  He was operating a wrapping machine when his shoe became tangled in one of the drive shafts and his leg was dragged into the machine.

His leg was so badly damaged that it needed to be amputated below the knee.  The man needed a lot of surgery and suffered infections in the leg but was eventually able to have a prosthetic limb fitted.

Nicholas recovered £600,000 compensation for his client.

Occupational Dermatitis Claim

In this case Nicholas' client worked in a manufacturing environment where she was frequently exposed to Glycerine.  When she developed problems with itchy skin and rashes she visited her GP and was diagnosed with dermatitis.

Her employer temporarily moved her to a different department but when her skin condition settled down, they moved her back, only to see the skin problems return.

She was provided with gloves to use but had to remove them depending on the task she was doing so was still frequently exposed to Glycerine.  It would also drip onto her safety shoes and contaminated her clothing causing rashes on her feet and body.

The lady also went on to develop sensitivity to other products such as cosmetics and detergents which cause her symptoms to flare up.  Nicholas recovered compensation for this injured worker and she was happy with the outcome.
