Success story of a client who won her personal injury claim against Somerset County Council.
We recently represented a Somerset woman who was injured while working for Somerset County Council.
The accident, which was caused by the negligence of Somerset County Council, resulted in our client suffering a rotator cuff injury to her shoulder.
We dealt with her case on a no win – no fee basis which meant that she did not have to worry about funding legal fees.
Our personal injury team based in Taunton submitted a detailed letter of claim to Somerset County Council, setting out the allegations against the Council. We also arranged for a local orthopaedic surgeon to prepare a medical report on our client’s injuries.
Following investigations, Somerset County Council accepted there had been a breach of duty and that they were legally obliged to pay our client compensation for her injuries and other losses. This meant we could concentrate on determining the amount of compensation our client was entitled to receive.
Fortunately, our client recovered well from her shoulder surgery, but nevertheless she remained at risk of developing arthritis.
Our negotiations with the representatives of Somerset County Council were constructive and we were eventually able to reach an out-of-court settlement which involved our client receiving a compensation payment of £30,000, together with her legal costs.
