Pryers have recently won a successful claim for personal injury for a client. The Claimant, a 75 year old delivery driver was trying to unload a double stacked pallet of wine cartons using an electric pump truck. As he maneuvered the truck down a ramp the wine slid off the pallet and crushed him causing injuries to his back. A claim was brought against the claimant’s employer, the supplier of the wine and the supermarket depot where the incident occurred. The three Defendants blamed each other and all denied responsibility for the accident although an offer of £5,000 was made. The offer was rejected and the case ultimately succeeded in the York County Court. The Judge apportioned liability between the three Defendants and the Claimant was awarded £35,000.

In York, Pryers solicitors recently represented a claimant who was involved in a road traffic accident as a passenger. He was in a vehicle being driven by a friend who lost control of his car and collided with an oncoming vehicle. As a result of the accident the claimant suffered a whiplash type injury to his neck and lost the enjoyment of a pre-arranged holiday in America that started just two days after the accident.
Although liability for the accident was accepted, the insurers attempted to undervalue the claim offering the claimant just £1650.
We had valued the claim at £2800 and as the insurers would not improve upon the offer the claim went to trial.
The claimant was successful and the Court awarded him £2802.50 and his legal costs.

Pryers recently represented a claimant who suffered personal injury after a tripping accident on a pavement in Manchester. As a result of the accident she suffered a significant ankle injury requiring surgical repair, with the likelihood of long-term problems in the joint.
The claimant was still able to work but was likely to have problems in the future with mobility.
We were successful in arguing that the claimant might suffer future loss of earnings and her claim was eventually settled in the total sum of £92,500.
