One of our clients (aged 58), who is registered disabled, stumbled on some defective steps while attending a social occasion on 18th September 2010 at a hotel in Cheltenham. The steps in question gave way under his weight, causing him to fall and land on his right knee. Unfortunately, this accident aggravated a pre-existing condition of arthritis in his right knee by a period of about 18 months. He now needs knee replacement earlier than would have been the case but for his accident.
A letter of claim was sent on his behalf to the insurers of the hotel and we were able to agree upon a settlement figure.
S. J. Edney solicitors obtained compensation of £12,500 for this client during 2011
S. J. Edney are a small firm (out of choice) and we believe that the key to our success is to provide all our clients with an excellent service at all times – if we don’t, we simply will not survive.
With the new Legal Services Act, large concerns like the Co-op are now able to provide legal services to their customers and compete with the traditional law firm. We are confident that we will be able to meet this challenge and continue to prosper in the future. Read the profile of Solicitor – Seamus Jude Edney and our testimonials.
Starting a case on a no win no fee basis means that if your compensation claim is not successful, you do not pay your solicitor’s fees.
If we win your case, the majority of your legal costs are likely to be paid by the defendant party, or their insurers. This enables people who have a valid claim to pursue a legal action, even if you don’t have the funds available for costly legal bills.
An initial telephone consultation is usually adequate for us to establish if you have a claim which can be handled on a no win no fee basis.
Although not always necessary, our clients will often visit one of our offices to discuss the claim in more detail, or we can visit you at home or in hospital. Once we have details of your injuries and financial losses, our no win no fee solicitors will be able to give you an idea of what compensation you could receive. Contact us to discuss your claim.
