Personal Injury solicitor's negligence
Mr P sustained horrific injuries to his arm as a result of a defective firework. Leigh Day & Co were instructed to act on his behalf in relation to his Personal Injury claim. Leigh Day & Co failed to appreciate that the successful prosecution of our client's claim was likely to be dependent upon our client being entitled to rely upon the Consumer Protection Act, applying to importers of defective products. They pursued the claim against the wrong party (the manufacturer of the defective firework). As a result Mr P's claim was struck out, and he was ordered to pay the other side's costs as well! We acted for him in a claim against his negligent solicitors, and succeeded in obtaining a settlement of approximately £24,500 compensation plus an agreement to pay the original Defendant's costs for our client.
