Our client had an accident in the Widnes store of a well known DIY chain.

As she turned the corner at the end of an aisle, she tripped over a box which was protruding into the walkway.

She fell to the floor, injuring her left hip and thigh, and jarring her spine and damaging her left shoulder.

We wrote a letter of claim to the store and their insurers admitted fault.

We obtained expert medical evidence about our client’s injuries following the surgery she had to undergo as a result of her shoulder injury.

We are in the process of negotiating a settlement of our client’s claim for compensation, to include not only pain and suffering arising from her injuries, but also to compensate her for all of her out-of-pocket expenses too, including loss of enjoyment of her annual summer holiday.
