We are pleased to have secured more than £40,000 in compensation for our young client, who was bitten by a dog whilst playing football outside his home. The dog was being walked without a lead and attacked without warning, leaving our client with a permanent scar on his hand. Jack Dowling dealt with this matter. We obtained medical evidence to assess the injury and its long-term effects before negotiating compensation. The claim was covered by the dog owner’s pet insurance, which met the compensation payment and legal costs. If you or your child has been injured by a dog, seeking legal advice early can help establish who is responsible, whether insurance cover is available and what evidence is needed to pursue a claim.

We secured £40,000 in compensation for our client, a healthcare worker, following a road traffic accident in 2024. Our client was driving home from work when an HGV collided with the rear of her vehicle. She suffered whiplash injuries, which resolved within a number of months, alongside a significant wrist injury sustained while gripping the steering wheel during the collision. We obtained reports from a range of medical experts to assess her injuries and support her claim. Court proceedings were issued, and a settlement of £40,000 was agreed shortly afterwards. Our client was delighted to settle her claim pre-court. Jack Dowling was instructed.

We are pleased to have secured £60,000 in compensation for a client who suffered a significant injury after slipping on a manhole cover. The Defendant, the owner of the manhole cover, denied liability, and the case was listed for trial. We obtained a report from an expert engineer, who concluded that the cover’s material and surface texture did not provide sufficient slip resistance for a public walkway. The claim settled the day before trial.
