Accident in a Public Place Case Study

Dental Work and Damaged Knee after a trip near a car park

The claimant was leaving work with a colleague and walking towards the car park where she'd left her car.  As she got nearer the entrance to the car park, she caught her toe on a protruding paving slab and fell forwards onto the pavement.

The accident was caused by the land owner's negligence and breach of statutory duties.

The claimant sustained whiplash to her neck, chipped a front tooth among other dental damage, cut her lip, cut her hand and the bridge of her nose and sustained soft tissue injuries to her knees, wrists and arms.  She also developed headaches as a result of the accident.

The landowners admitted liability.

The claimant had to have extensive dental work to bridgework, implants and repair of the chipped tooth as a result of the accident.  One of our Accident Compensation Solicitors were able to recover an interim payment towards the costs of dental work to ensure the claimant was not kept waiting to be reimbursed after paying.  She also had arthroscopy surgery to her knee and took four weeks off work after surgery.  The pain from her damaged knee caused fatigue brought on by lack of sleep and ruined a holiday that had been booked before her accident.

The claimant was awarded nearly £7300 in general damages for her injuries.  One of our Accident Compensation Solicitors also recovered additional compensation for costs of the dental work, loss of earnings and costs of getting to and from dental appointments.
