Broken Hip Victim Awarded £13,000

Our client was walking, they stepped off the pavement, but due to a large number of leaves and poor street lighting they did not see a large hole in the road. As a result, the client tripped and fell. 

The trip and fall caused our client to break their hip. Due to their injuries, the client was in the hospital for 9 days and required an operation. 

The claim was settled in November 2021 for £13,000. The settlement included damages for care and assistance and other consequential losses and expenses arising from the accident such as telephone calls, postage and petrol costs.  Of their experience with First Personal Injury, the client said 'The whole process was very painless. I was kept informed throughout and made aware at the outset of the system and what costs I might incur. I would have no hesitation in recommending.'
