Gregory Abrams Davidson recovers £55,000 of damages for taxi driver injured when he tripped over a defect on a road maintained by the council.
Facts of the case:
The claimant suffered cartilage damage in his wrist, synovitis and a radial tear of the TFCC following a fall when he tripped over a lump of concrete left on the road following what we believed to have been repair work by the council, who were also responsible for the maintenance of the relevant Highway.
A claim was submitted, however a denial of liability was received by the council who disclosed documentation in support.
After analysis of the documents that the council had disclosed and further investigation by us, we challenged how their defence could be retained against irrefutable evidence that their inspection regime had failed.
The defendants subsequently admitted Breach of Duty and agreed to pay our clients treatment and rehabilitation costs.
The Claimant required a considerable amount of medical investigation treatment, all of which we organised.
The Defendants were reluctant to believe the Claimant’s future as a taxi driver was at risk as his injuries limited the amount of time he was able to drive and only offered him £15,000. However, after we obtained crucial medical evidence to support his claim, our client received an offer of £55,000 plus payment of his legal costs and treatment fees.
