Take Care At Junctions

As Mr P was walking across a junction he was hit by a car turning in. The car was travelling too quickly, and the driver tried to take the corner at speed. This meant that he didn’t see Mr P until it was far too late. As a result the car hit Mr P knocking […]

Gas Cylinder Gasp

Mrs A was certainly left gasping by a gas cylinder but not quite in the usual way. You see, as she was travelling with her injured son the back of an ambulance a gas cylinder that had not been fastened in place fell from above her. It landed squarely on her foot and certainly caused […]

Eyes On The Road

Keep your eyes on the road – good advice, especially when you are driving. It certainly would have been good advice for the driver of the car that ran straight into the back of Mr B and Miss I’s car whilst they were stationary in traffic. After we put their claims the insurer of the […]

A Grave Trip

Mr P was walking through his local church yard when he tripped and fell over the raised edge of a very large stone slab set in the footpath. As a result he was injured. After Mr P consulted us we set about investigating his claim and discovered that the local council had taken over responsibility […]

An Unpleasant Slip

Lets face it, often the worst part of a shopping trip is when you get to the till and have to pay. Well, on this occasion, getting to the till was definitely the worst part of the day’s shopping for Mrs M, but for a somewhat more unpleasant reason. As Mrs M was walking towards […]

Supermarket Slip

Miss W had nipped down to her local supermarket to pick up a few bits of shopping. Unfortunately as she made her way along one of the aisle she slipped and fell in some liquid on the floor. We put her claim to the supermarket and they have accepted that it was their fault. Miss […]

Car Park Escape

Miss O had a lucky escape when visiting her local supermarket. As she was walking through the car park another customer lost control of their car and ended up driving at speed towards Miss O, who had to jump out of the way. Luckily she avoided being hit – unlike a number of nearby cars! […]
