Step Legal Solicitors Secure a Significant damages Settlement for a Mobile Health Worker
Step Legal have recently won a case on behalf of a mobile carer who endured a horrifying experience when her vehicle was suddenly hit from the side as she was parking. The force of the impact spun her car around, pushing it a staggering 20 yards into a grass verge. The carer, whose identity we are withholding for privacy, sustained multiple fractures in the violent collision.
The event unfolded as the carer was visiting a client in her capacity as a healthcare professional. The incident laid bare the dangers that mobile care workers face every day, often going unnoticed as they go about their vital work in the community.
The carer was rushed to the Royal Stoke University hospital where she received treatment for various fractures. Upon her discharge, she was unable to return to work for four months, causing a substantial financial burden due to loss of earnings. This incident was not only physically harmful but also caused significant emotional distress.
Step Legal Solicitors were instructed to represent the carer in her claim for damages. Step Legal Solicitors are known for their expertise in all types of complex serious personal injury law and have a strong record of securing substantial settlements for its clients.
Our client was represented by Dominic Jones, head of our Medical negligence Department and a specialist in high value and catastrophic personal injury claims. His hard work paid off when he successfully secured a significant settlement for the carer.
Mr Jones from Step Legal Solicitors said, “We are delighted to have been able to secure this settlement for our client. This traumatic incident caused significant harm. My role was to ensure that she received fair compensation for her injuries, and we are very pleased with the outcome.”
The carer, now on the path to recovery, expressed her gratitude to Step Legal Solicitors for their support during this challenging time.
As she continues her recovery journey, we wish her all the best and hope that her story raises awareness about the risks faced by mobile carers and other health workers the need for their safety and security.
