Our specialist neurotrauma lawyers work exclusively with clients who have suffered life-changing injuries. We’ve set up the Hugh James Emergency Fund to help support those families going through this difficult time.
The fund provides grants to help families cope with sudden financial hardship after spinal injury. The situation of each applicant is considered when allocating funds and those with limited resources are prioritised.
We acted for a young man who worked as a barperson in a busy Brighton bar. The cellar door was left open during a shift without the correct safety precautions being followed by his employer. The claimant fell down the cellar steps, suffering serious spinal cord injuries at C4, resulting in tetraplegia. The case was not straightforward, and we had a hard fight to establish liability, which was successful.
Following that we negotiate a multi-million-pound settlement for our client, including annual payments for life for his care.
As a result of his injury, our client sustained paralysis in his arms, hands, trunk and legs, meaning he needs life-long assistance with daily living, including eating, dressing and getting in and out of bed. He no longer has control of his bladder and bowel. As a result of the claim, he has been able to purchase and adapt a bungalow and has begun a new career, becoming a successful writer.
I was delighted with the service which you provided me with, I would not hesitate to recommend you to others. You explained the most complex issues in a straightforward manner and negotiated an outstanding settlement for us.
