Case studies from 2021

Mr M finished his night shift and was leaving work by walking down the driveway towards the main road.

A van came from behind, so Mr M moved over to the side of the driveway where he slipped on the muddy slope and injured his shoulder and arm from the fall.

We helped Mr M with his claim because the driveway is pitch black at night and the sides of the driveway are not fit for walking purposes.

For Mr M we were able to settle an employers liability claim for £3,500.

Mr N worked as a cleaner where a part of his role was to collect boiling water into a bucket from a hot water dispensing machine.

This was done every day but on this particular occasion, the boiling water spilled from the bucket and over Mr N's feet.

Mr N claimed that had his employers provided him with the correct protective footwear to begin with, they would not have sustained severe burns on both feet.

With the help of Scott Rees & Co solicitors, we were able to claim compensation of around £6,300 for Mr N's employers liability claim.

Mr D went to his dentist to have a root filling.

Mr D continued to experience a sharp pain where the root filling took place for many days.

Mr D eventually saw a different dentist who confirmed from his x-ray that the first dentist had completely missed his root and went into his gum.

Mr D was told that it was beyond repair and the tooth had to be removed.

Mr D consulted with Scott Rees & Co, who are medical negligence specialists, and we helped Mr D to a £12,200 settlement.

Mrs D had an operation at hospital where the surgeon caused an injury to her bowel.

After a second operation to repair the bowel, Mrs D developed wound sepsis and parastomal hernia.

We fought for Mrs D against the hospital for 5 years and eventually got the result she deserved.

For Mrs D's medical negligence claim, she was awarded £98,000.

Mr A was leaving his flat for work when he slipped on the mopped floor in the communal area.

The wetness of the floor was difficult to see due to the colour of the tiled floor, and also because there was no wet floor warning sign present.

Mr A already suffers from scoliosis and landed on his back after slipping, causing further damage and pain.

We were able to help Mr A fight his occupiers' liability case, in which he was awarded £2000 compensation.

Miss N went to hospital for surgery and experienced medical negligence when she noticed bleeding from a cannula in her hand.

Her requests to be seen by a doctor were ignored and analgesia was administered via the cannula which caused her to suffer pain in her hand.

The negligent failure to remove the cannula resulted in Miss N suffering pain and swelling/lumps to her hand for 18 months.

Miss N contacted Scott Rees & Co solicitors at the end of 2018, and two and a half years later, we helped Miss N win a £24,000 compensation claim.

Five to six years ago Mr N was referred to hospital by his optician to check if he has glaucoma.

After his hospital check up, Mr N was told everything was fine and he was discharged.

The exact same scenario happened again a year later.

It was until 3 years ago that Mr N discovered that he actually had glaucoma and it had progressed to the point where he would need laser eye surgery.

After further investigation, the hospital admitted that the tests carried out 5-6 years ago did indeed show signs of glaucoma but were reported incorrectly to Mr N.

With our medical negligence expertise, we were able to fight Mr N's clinical negligence claim and he was awarded £39,000.

Master H was playing in a school playground when they tripped and hit their head on some square shaped boulders with sharp edges.

Mrs H brought the claim to Scott Rees & Co on behalf of her child.

We were able to settle Master H's child injury and occupiers liability claim for £5,000.

Case studies from 2020

Miss F was dining at a local pub when they tripped on the cobbled paving outside where a large ridge was raised from the floor.

The accident left Miss F with injury to her neck, hands and feet.

The pub should have registered the raised floor as a hazard and fixed it or put warning signs or cones around it to warn customers.

We were able to secure a £8,500 payout for her occupiers liability claim.

Mr D received negligent care at a hospital when they repeatedly failed to properly diagnose and treat a severe infection that Mr D developed after a cardiac operation in 2014.

We were able to settle Mr S' claim and recovered £4,000 in damages.

Mr N was involved in a car accident.

Mr N was the driver and was stationary in their car because a bus was in front.

However, the third party behind failed to stop and collided into the back of Mr N's car.

Although the third party was slowing down, injury was still sustained and so we were able to settle this case for £1,400.

Mr W went to hospital for surgery on their knee.

The operation required an epidural, which is a way to deliver an anaesthetic. Unfortunately there were complications with the administration of the epidural, which caused the client to faint and then the consultant abandoned the operation.

The process has affected Mr W's confidence and trust in the hospital.

We were able to come to an agreement of around £16,000 compensation for Mr W's medical negligence claim.

Ms I was involved in a car accident as the passenger.

The driver lost control of the car after slipping on the wet motorway. The car was written off after hitting the barricades.

The accident left Miss C with a broken leg.

This public liability claim was settled for £5,200.

Miss J was driving down a road that had right of way and upon approaching a junction, the Defendant driver inexplicably drove out causing a collision.

Case studies from 2019

Mr B was admitted to hospital with a midline incisional hernia and underwent an emergency procedure to repair the hernia.

Unfortunately, the mesh used to repair the hernia became infected.

Mr B underwent surgery to remove the infected mesh, but the hospital failed to remove all of the infected mesh.

It was a further 4 months before the infected mesh was removed completely, and as a result, Mr B endured a period of pain and suffering and required additional surgery when it could all have been avoided.

Mr B instructed Scott Rees & Co solicitors to make a medical negligence claim against the hospital.

After 2 years we were able to conclude Mr B's claim successfully and recover around £15,000 compensation.

Miss S was stationary at a roundabout and ready to exit when a vehicle from behind failed to stop.

The rear-end collision between the cars left Miss S with pain and stiffness across her neck and back.

Liability was admitted immediately by the third party driver.

In under a year we were able to secure a £4,800 compensation package for Miss S's road traffic accident claim.

Mr P's car was hit from behind at a roundabout by an ambulance when he was driving his family for a day out.

Although Mr P could continue driving away that day, this should not give the false impression that Mr P and his car sustained no damage at all.

When the claim was brought forward to the Defendant's attention, they questioned why Mr P did not see his GP or attend hospital over his injuries at the time of his accident.

The case ultimately went to Court where the Judge found Mr P to be an honest Claimant on the basis of the proof and evidence provided.

Even though Mr P's vehicle sustained damage worth around £1,500, he only made a claim for his injury. The Judge awarded Mr P around £2,500 in compensation for his injuries.

Mr O was travelling on the outside of a three lane road when a Third Party vehicle changed lanes and collided with Mr O's vehicle.

The car crash resulted in over £2,800's worth of damage to Mr O's vehicle, along with injuries to his neck, shoulders and back.

We brought Mr O's road traffic accident claim to the attention of the Third Party's insurers, but received no response.

It was only after issuing proceedings that they finally reacted and we soon settled the case with Mr O receiving around £5,400 compensation.

Mrs C, who uses a walking stick to aid her mobility tripped over a raised paving stone when walking through her local shopping centre.

The raised paving stone was at a dangerous height of over one inch off the ground.

Mrs C was taken to hospital for scans on her wrist and legs. The doctor said she had fractured her wrist and sustained severe bruising to her legs.

The Third Party Insurer initially denied liability, but after further pressure by us they changed their tune and a settlement was agreed.

Mrs C received around £4,500 for her occupiers liability claim.

Mrs O fell pregnant and at her 12 week scan she was advised that an identified cyst should be followed up 6 weeks post birth.

Mrs O had her follow up scan, but the hospital failed to list Mrs O for elective surgery to remove the cyst.

As a result, the cyst torted and Mrs O had to have emergency surgery to remove the cyst, which also resulted in her ovary and fallopian tube being removed.

Had the elective procedure to remove the cyst taken place, she would have avoided the trauma of surgery in an emergency setting and the loss of her reproductive organs.

Breach of Duty was admitted by the hospital and we were able to achieve a medical negligence settlement for Mrs O in the sum of £7,500.

Mr G was walking towards a road when his foot got caught on a raised paving slab.

This resulted in Mr G falling forward and cutting his head on the road.

Mr I was a passenger of a multi car accident involving 3 vehicles.

Mr I was passenger of the middle car, which was involved in a rear-end collision with the vehicle in front, but was also rear-ended by a vehicle behind.

Mr I brought a road traffic accident claim against the driver in the vehicle behind. We were able to secure a settlement of around £2,500 for this claim.

Miss D was driving on a single carriageway road with two lanes, one travelling in either direction.

In 1994, Mrs R was first diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

Mrs R was prescribed Metformin in 1999 and Victoza in 2013 by her local GP as medication for her kidney disease.

As the condition of her kidney continued to worsen, she was referred to a specialist clinic in 2014. This was the first time Mrs R was made aware that she was suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), as well as the seriousness of her kidney condition and that she should not have been prescribed Metformin or Victoza because of her condition.

Mrs R brought her medical negligence claim to Scott Rees in 2015 as she believed her GP had failed to monitor her kidney disease correctly. In effect, this has led to her kidney condition deteriorating much quicker than if she had been treated appropriately from the beginning.

Mrs R was successfully awarded around £13,000 compensation for her medical negligence claim.

Mr G was driving on a motorway in the evening when his car suddenly began to lose power at an alarming rate.

Mr G signalled his hazard lights before pulling his car as far left as possible with there being no hard shoulder present.

Unfortunately a serious road traffic accident followed leaving Mr G hospitalised and in a coma.

With the help of Chris Walker and his dedicated and professional team, we were able to secure a quarter of a million pounds as compensation for Mr G's serious injury claim.

Miss N had an operation after sustaining an injury abroad.

Following her operation back in England, she discovered an abscess had developed where her injury previously was. An abscess is a painful collection of pus, usually caused by a bacterial infection.

Due to misinformation, delays and human err with the initial operation, Miss N was required to return for a second operation 2 days later to treat the initial injury.

Miss N brought her medical negligence claim to Scott Rees as she felt she was treated negligently by the medical professionals at the hospital.

Had the initial operation been carried out correctly, she would not have been in pain and had to sign off work for at least 2 weeks.

We were able to secure around £9,700 compensation for Miss N.

Mr S was leaving the airport parking area and was driving along the exit route when another car had failed to heed a STOP sign and went into the left side of Mr S's vehicle.

Within a year after bringing his claim to Scott Rees we were able to settle on £3,000 compensation.

Miss H approached us unhappy with the treatment she had received from her previous dentist, whom she had been a patient for many years.

Despite attending regular check-ups, she developed significant gum and periodontal disease that had gone unchecked and untreated until she registered at a new practice.

Whilst the claim process should have been straight-forward, it was complicated by the Defendant dentist who denied liability.

We continued to support Miss H with her dental negligence claim through this challenging period.

When an initial offer was presented by the Defendant, we felt it was too low from our experience. We advised Miss H to reject the early offer of settlement and to continue negotiations.

After 4 years of fighting for Miss H's justice and claim, we secured a damages settlement of around £40,000, which is nearly three times more than originally offered by the Defendant.

Miss W injured herself at work after tripping over some heavy boxes and landing awkwardly on some broken chairs in the store room.

Miss W complained her manager would always over order products, causing the store room to be stacked ceiling high with heavy boxes of products.

This is a clear case of employer negligence as it poses both a fire risk and a movement hazard to employees due to limited vision and movement space in the room.

The doctor confirmed Miss W sustained damage to her jaw as well as bruising to her ribs.

We were able to settle Miss W's workplace accident claim at close to £1,800.

Miss B was in the toilet of a pub when she slipped on unidentified liquid on the floor. It was unidentified as it was quickly mopped up by staff after the incident.

No warning signs were in place to warn people of the wet patch on the floor, which is an occupier's liability.

Miss B used her hands as best as she could to break her fall. Following the accident at the pub, she went straight to hospital where an xray confirmed she had fractured her wrist.

This is a case of occupiers liability as the accident happened on private land in the pub.

Miss M brought her passenger accident claim to Scott Rees & Co where our expertise her get £2,500 compensation.

Mr B was on his motorbike and travelling at 60-70mph when the traffic in front slowly sharply.

As Mr B put his hazard lights on and slowed his speed to match the traffic in front, the vehicle behind was traveling too close and was unable to slow in time.

It took Scott Rees about a year to finalise a £1,600 compensation package for Mr B after his motorcycle accident.

The heavy machines would be raised up to a certain height off the ground and it's position would be secured by a lock system to stop it from moving or falling.

However, certain lock systems were faulty and instead Mr P was expected to manually put a wooden wedge in place as an alternative.

Unfortunately on this occasion Mr P forgot to put the wooden wedge in place.

As the fruit machine began to fall Mr P instinctively reached out to grab the machine, resulting in damage to his overstretched ligaments near his elbow region.

Through our help, we were able to prove that she did have lights on her bike and gave further evidence to show that the area would have been well lit at the time of the accident.

We were able to dispute the credibility of the Defendant to the point where they agreed to settle through a Part 36 offer, with no fault given to our client, Miss C.

We were awarded around £4,000 for the bicycle accident at a roundabout.

His employer, a national furniture retailer, admitted liability for the work accident.

Mr L brought his work accident claim to Scott Rees & Co where we arranged for Mr L to see a medical expert to determine the extent of damage suffered.

We were able to help secure a settlement of over £1,600 for Miss S.

Miss S left us a glowing review in her video testimonial here.

Mr C was travelling on his motorcycle when he was rear-end shunted by a car.

The impact caused Mr C to be thrown off his motorbike and suffer injury to his neck, shoulders and knees.

To make matters worse, the driver responsible for the accident left the scene without checking if Mr C was alright or swapping contact details.

We assured Mr C that he was still entitled to compensation even when there was no Defendant because of the hit and run issue.

We were able to help Mr C claim £2,500 for his hit and run claim.

Mr H was a passenger travelling in a taxi.

The taxi driver lost control of their vehicle and drove over a roundabout before hitting a pavement with force.

This caused Mr H to be shunted in the back seat, suffering a whiplash neck injury that would take around five months to recover from.

We were able to help Mr H recover their general damages, treatment costs and travel expenses from the settlement.

Miss S, an old age pensioner, injured herself after boarding her local bus.

With the help of Scott Rees & Co, we were able to agree a settlement of around £2,700 for her passenger accident claim.
