Case Study

Here from some clients that we have helped.

Road traffic accident – multiple injuries and complex trauma

After a serious road traffic collision involving multiple vehicles, we supported a client with a claim for significant orthopaedic injuries, internal injuries and head trauma. We secured early funding from the Defendant for private rehabilitation and surgery, enabling quicker access to treatment and supporting recovery.

The claim settled for £400,000 after four years, reflecting the severity of injuries, ongoing treatment needs and long-term impact on daily life.

“The support I received meant I could focus on my recovery, knowing the claim was being handled and my future needs were taken into account.”
Road traffic accident – serious orthopaedic and soft tissue injuries

After suffering serious orthopaedic and soft tissue injuries as a passenger in a taxi involved in a head-on collision, we supported a client with a claim for compensation and rehabilitation. We secured funding for physiotherapy and psychological counselling and arranged support from a case manager who worked with her employer to facilitate a phased return to work.

The claim settled successfully, helping our client access ongoing treatment as needed and continue her recovery following the accident.

"The compensation has enabled me to carry on with life as normal and has given me the option to access further treatment privately, allowing things to be done much quicker and helping my recovery. I would never have got the outcome I did without you and Nelsons’’
