“The service and results I received from Robert Aylott and the team at Osbornes was exceptional. Experts in their field and total professionals from start to finish. In 2018 I was involved in a serious motorcycle accident and required surgery the other party denied liability and there were few witnesses. After an initial interview Robert assessed my case and advised they were confident in securing me substantial losses. This they did in a reasonably short timescale securing me a six figure sum well above my initial hopes. If you are unlucky enough to be involved in an accident I recommend this team fantastic 5* Professionals.”

Rob’s notable cases:
T v. D [2018]
£5,000,000 lump sum settlement for 54 year old man who sustained a below knee amputation and brachial plexus injuries in a motorcycle accident. Allegations of contributory negligence were pursued. The settlement, which was achieved at a JSM, included provision for loss of earnings within the telecommunications industry (including a loss of chance claim), prosthetics (including the Empower limb), future care and accommodation
S v. K [2019]
£4.75 million settlement for a 37 year old man who suffered extensive lower limb and abdominal injuries in a workplace accident resulting in a transfemoral amputation. Primary liability was admitted but allegations of contributory negligence were pursued and resisted. As a result of ongoing complications to the stump limiting prosthetic usage, the Claimant decided to undergo osseo-integration surgery under the care of Professor Al-Muderis in Sydney, Australia. An application for an interim payment to fund such surgery was made and conceded by the Defendant at the 11th hour before a contested hearing. The surgery was successful in improving the Claimant’s prosthetic tolerance and quality of life. The case settled approximately 3 months after a failed JSM where the Defendant’s final offer was £4.2 million. During the interim period the Claimant had rejected further improved offers from the Defendant before accepting £4.75 million. The settlement included provision for O-I surgery and future medical treatment / therapies, loss of earnings, care, prosthetics and adapted single level accommodation.
D –v- Y [2019]
£2.6m lump sum settlement for a 53 year old man who sustained multiple injuries including serious lower limb injuries and a traumatic brain injury when hit on the pavement by the Defendant’s vehicle. The Claimant received a full rehabilitation package via an independent case manager and prior to settlement was moved into a new fully adapted property.
