Seven Figure Settlement for Roofer who Suffered Spinal Injury
Our client was working as a roofer when he fell from scaffolding, leaving him with serious injuries, including a life-changing spinal injury. Our client had to adjust to living with serious spinal injuries and being wheelchair dependant, as well as living independently for the first time, due to his parents’ home being unsuitable for his needs.
The case was handled by Partner and Serious Injury Solicitor, Claire Hutchinson. The case was complex, particularly in relation to liability. Liability was denied by the defendant and the client had no memory of the incident. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) were involved. Despite the challenges of the case, we were able to secure a substantial settlement of almost £2.7M. This gave our client some peace of mind in relation to financial security and being out of work. It has also meant that he can fund specialist rehabilitation and make adaptations to his home.
