Night out with friends leaves man injured and in pain
In the summer of 2013, Mr R was enjoying a night out with friends at a nightclub in Brighton. As he was walking through the club Mr R slipped on a spillage and fell heavily to the ground sustaining injury to his right rib and shoulder. There were no warning signs present to alert clubbers to the spillage. A subsequent x ray showed a suspected fracture to Mr R’s shoulder and a brake to one of his ribs. Having been injured through no fault of his own Mr R approached Russell Worth for assistance in making a personal injury claim. Despite the nightclub denying responsibility for the claim, NM, our public liability specialist was undeterred and secured Mr R the £4,138.31 settlement to which he was entitled. On this occasion this meant attending Court, along with a barrister, where the Judge ruled in Mr R's favour. This settlement sum included compensation for his injury as well as additional financial expenses incurred as a result of the injury. Following the conclusion of the claim Mr R said: ‘Professional with excellent service. Excellent, fast and reliable service which was very important to me as my claim was handled by Russell Worth in the UK and I'm Irish. There was always an extremely fast turnaround on any queries and all staff showed a high standard of professionalism, knowledge and friendliness. I would have no qualms in recommending this firm to anyone with a legal need.’Free Claim Assessment

Long battle won for client who slipped on drain cover
Just before Christmas in 2013 Mrs S was walking along the high street when she slipped on a slippery and dangerous drain cover. Mrs S attended hospital and discovered that she had sustained ligament damage to her left foot. Mrs S was unable to weight bear for 2/3 weeks following the fall and this greatly impacted on her enjoyment of the Christmas period. However, fortunately, after 8 weeks Mrs S was fully recovered. In January of 2014 Mrs S approached Russell Worth and our public liability specialist, SC, ensured that Mrs S received the compensation she was entitled to. It was not a straightforward process however with South West Water not taking responsibly for the accident at any point during the claim. SC issued Court proceedings to put pressure on the Defendant who agreed, after some 18 months to award Mrs S £1800 for her pain and suffering. Commenting on the case Mrs S said; ‘Accident claim. The work that Russell Worth did on my behalf was excellent, they were able to make my claim as easy as possible for me and with a good outcome. Many thanks.’ SC said the following; ‘I was pleased to assist Mrs S in her claim for compensation. The process was, at times, frustrating with neither the local Council nor South West Water willing to take responsibility for the dangerous drain cover. However, undeterred, after a hard fought battle I was able to secure a positive result for Mrs S and secure her the compensation to which she was entitled.’Free Claim Assessment

Commenting on the case MS said ‘This was a relatively straightforward case where we were able to secure an early admission of responsibility from the defendant’s insurance company and compensation followed quickly once we received the medical report supporting Miss A’s injuries’. Miss A commenting on her claim stated the following, ‘Brilliant quick service Quick response from start to finish and also offered advice of routes to take and not just what they thought I should do. Would definitely (hope I don't have to) use again.’
