Case 1: Trip and Fall at a Bar

Our client suffered an injury to her ankle after tripping over a raised metal strip while visiting a bar. The unexpected fall caused significant discomfort and disruption to her daily life. Initially, the Defendants denied any responsibility for the incident, leaving our client uncertain about the outcome of her personal injury claim.

Denial of Liability and Legal Action

Despite the Defendants’ initial refusal to accept liability, Osbornes Law took swift and determined action on our client’s behalf. We conducted a thorough investigation, gathering evidence that demonstrated the unsafe condition of the bar and the raised metal strip that caused the fall. Through persistent legal negotiations, we were able to secure compensation for our client, achieving a financial award of £2,863.

Client Testimonial

Our client was very pleased with the resolution of her claim and expressed her satisfaction with the service she received from Osbornes Law:

“I would like to thank you for being most helpful and professional throughout my claim. I am very pleased with the way you handled my case and would highly recommend you to friends and family.”

Case 2: Fall Due to Unsafe Conditions at a Private Party

In another case, our client attended a private party where she fell into a hole in the floor where a staircase was under construction. The fall resulted in multiple injuries, leaving our client with both physical pain and distress.

Allegations of Contributory Negligence

The Defendants attempted to raise allegations of contributory negligence, suggesting that our client was partially at fault for the accident. However, Osbornes Law built a strong case, refuting these claims with substantial evidence. We argued that the Defendants had failed to ensure that the site was safe for guests and that proper warnings had not been provided to avoid the hazardous area.

Successful Settlement

Despite the challenges, we successfully defeated the allegations of contributory negligence and achieved a significant settlement of £9,200 for our client. This compensation accounted for her injuries, as well as the emotional and physical toll the accident had taken.

Client Feedback

Our client was highly appreciative of the outcome and the efforts of her solicitor:

“I am extremely grateful for the outcome of my case. My solicitor was very helpful whenever I had a question about how the case was going, considering that I was not paying any legal fees. This was the ideal settlement I was after.”

    • Right from our first meeting, I felt completely confident that my solicitor had fully understood my concerns and priorities and had a clear, intelligent and gratifyingly ambitious strategy with which to protect my interests. Since then, he has consistently managed to keep pushing things forwards despite all the obstacles and I always feel calmer and more in control after I've spoken to him. He always cuts straight to the point so I never feel that I'm wasting money on waffle. The outcomes of the proceedings to date have been better than I had hoped for, both on children and on money.
