The One Time You Don’t

Mrs H has mobility difficulties and lives with her husband in specialist assisted accommodation. The help she receives from the housing association includes garden maintenance, and the cutting of the grassed areas around her and her neighbouring properties. The gardeners also swept up and cleared away the cut grass that inevitably ended up on the […]

Bleaching Blunder

In a previous post we considered claims that can arise from the negligent performance of the ever increasing range of “beauty” treatments popping up on the High Street. But claims are not restricted to these new therapies. As in all things, mistakes can be made across the world of beauty and beauty treatments, including hairdressing.  […]

IT Hurts

Computers and technology are everywhere. They are part of our day to day existence, and most business and industry could not operate without IT. On the whole your average computer does not pose the greatest risk to health and safety in the work place, although be sure to keep an eye on your work station […]

Beware Fizzy Pop

Beware fizzy pop is probably good advice from a nutritional point of view, we all know the hazards of drinking too much of it. Mrs H however came across a much rarer risk to health that it poses, when a pack of six two litres bottles fell off a high shelf in a supermarket and […]

A Second Opinion

We all see things differently and that is especially true of lawyers – we are a contrary bunch. Ask 10 lawyers the same question and don’t be surprised to get 10 variations on the answer. This is also true when it comes to bringing a claim. Sometimes the lawyer you consult might not see that […]

Who Is An Employee??

That might sound a simple enough question but it is one that has kept the courts busy on many occasions, most recently the supreme court in the Uber cases.

A Trip To The Supermarket

A trip to the supermarket became a trip at the supermarket for Mrs H. As she was walking towards the entrance she caught her foot on a defect in the car park surface and fell, suffering injuries as a result. Following a meeting with Andrew Marsden at our Cleckheaton office we agreed to look in to […]

Hot Tub Hurt

Relaxing in a hot tub on a warm summers evening….there are worse things in life. Unfortunately for Mrs C her plan to sit back and relax in some warming water became something rather more painful. Mrs C had booked a mini break for her family. A bit of glamping, and the facilities included their own […]

Local Knowledge Always Helps

Mr H was happily sat waiting for the traffic lights to change to green so he could continue on his way, when the next thing he knows there is a violent collision in front of him, resulting in one of those vehicles in turn being pushed at speed in to his car. This caused extensive […]
