GA v SC

January 22, 2025

Henry Vanderpump, instructed by John Bennett of Forbes Solicitors, negotiated a settlement for £675,000 following a joint settlement meeting. The Claimant was a young mother walking on the pavement when the Defendant negligently mounted the pedestrian area, hitting her right leg, causing a serious fracture. The Claimant’s leg was in a frame for three years, and she underwent bone transportation procedures. The Claimant benefitted from specialist therapy developed by Broadgreen Hospital. Her husband was also a sports massage therapist who worked tirelessly to ensure the leg was not amputated.

The claim included loss of career earnings as a teaching assistant, ongoing care needs and domestic support, future treatment, equipment and orthotics.
