£30,000 for Nurse Following Assault by Senior Colleague

In January 2024 we were instructed by a client to peruse a claim for damages against her employer following an assault in the work place by a senior colleague. Jack Dowling dealt with this matter.

Our client, a nurse in her mid-20s, was the victim of a campaign of sexual harassment in the workplace by a nurse colleague which culminated in a physical assault in December 2023. Despite our client escalating her concerns on numerous occasions to management, the matter was not formally dealt with until said colleague pulled our client's scrubs down in a storeroom in front of other colleagues.

We sent a letter of claim to the Defendant Trust in April 2023 alleging that they had failed in their duty of care to our client in that they did not act appropriately once they were aware of the situation.

Following negotiations, the Defendant Trust, without admission of liability, agreed to settle the matter for £30,000.

The perpetrator was convicted of sexual assault which was later reduced to assault on appeal.

By KIERAN MCNICHOLL • November 4, 2026

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.

£60,000 for Slipping Injury

By KIERAN MCNICHOLL • September 25, 2026

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.
