Mrs. L, a 54-year-old resident of East Sussex, suffered an injury in a workplace accident, which was managed by Maria Pilkington, a specialist personal injury solicitor. Mrs. L sustained a shoulder injury while closing a window at the end of her workday. The window, positioned high up, required her to kneel on her desk and stretch to reach it, resulting in a sudden pain in her right shoulder. She was subsequently diagnosed with a soft tissue injury resembling frozen shoulder.
A claim was filed against her employers, citing their failure to provide adequate equipment for window closure as the cause of the accident. Liability was admitted by the employers, who acknowledged their responsibility for Mrs. L’s injury. The solicitor handling the claim proceeded to obtain a medical report from a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon to confirm the extent of Mrs. L’s injuries and provide an outlook for her recovery period.
Upon completion of the medical evidence, negotiations for settlement ensued, resulting in an agreed sum of £3750. Mrs. L expressed her absolute delight with the outcome, extending her gratitude to Maria Pilkington for her dedication and guidance throughout the claims process. She remarked, “Thank you so much for all your hard work and advice over the course of this claim. I am very grateful for your endeavours on my behalf.“
