£7,300 for local client who slipped on a wet floor inside a petrol station

Mrs. C turned to Aston Knight Solicitors after suffering a fractured pelvis in a preventable accident at a petrol station. While paying for fuel, she slipped on a wet floor with no warning signs in place—an entirely avoidable hazard that posed a serious risk to customers’ safety. In legal terms, this was quite literally an accident waiting to happen.

Recognising the clear failure in duty of care, we acted swiftly on Mrs. C’s behalf, submitting a claim against the responsible party. Within just two months, the Defendant admitted liability, acknowledging their negligence. As part of the claims process, an offer for rehabilitation support, including physiotherapy and counselling, was made to aid Mrs. C’s recovery.

To ensure a comprehensive assessment of her injuries, we arranged for Mrs. C to be examined by a renowned Orthopaedic Hip Specialist. The specialist provided a detailed medical report, outlining the physical pain, emotional distress, and significant impact on her daily life caused by the accident.

Despite the severity of the injury, Mrs. C demonstrated remarkable progress. Through targeted rehabilitation, she achieved a full recovery within just eight months, successfully returning to her pre-accident level of activity.

The settlement reached fairly reflected her swift but significant recovery, and in all the circumstances, represented an excellent outcome for Mrs. C.
