Personal injury solicitors negligence causing strike out of claim
Mr and Mrs W instructed Molesworth Bright Clegg Solicitors to make a claim for personal injuries arising out of a serious road traffic accident that occurred in November 1998 in which the negligent driver was killed. Molesworth Bright Clegg issued legal proceedings against the Estate of the negligent driver in November 2001 and in January 2004 an offer of settlement was made for both claims. Mr and Mrs W were advised not to accept the offer and shortly thereafter the proceedings were struck out by the court because Molesworth Bright Clegg failed to comply with directions issued by the court. The Claimants lost their right to claim damages against the Estate of the deceased driver and to make matters worse the Court ordered that Mr and Mrs W pay the negligent driver’s insurers their legal costs. We sued Molesworth Bright Clegg and recovered the full amount of money that was paid into court by the original Defendant and all of the other costs that the Claimant’s incurred as a result of the aborted proceedings.
Within one year of the letter of claim being sent to Molesworth Bright Clegg we recovered all of the Claimant’s damages together with their legal costs.
Mr & Mrs W
