Hudgell Solicitors

Serious Injury

Senior Solicitor

I have successfully settled many cases on behalf of my clients for high six-figure sums and for seven-figure sums.

I have secured a £3.2m compensation settlement for a client who suffered an amputation and who required lifelong provision for specialist prosthetics, care as well as single-level accommodation.

In another case, I secured a £1.2m settlement for a client who suffered a traumatic brain injury.

I was also part of the team that secured a settlement in excess of £7m for a client who was rendered tetraplegic following the accident where the issue of liability was fiercely contested. He required substantial lifelong provision for care, specialist equipment and transport as well as single-level accommodation. It was necessary during the claim to make an Application to the High Court at the Royal Courts of Justice in order to secure a six-figure interim payment to allow him to access rehabilitation.

Other settlements in recent years include securing £800,000 and £589,000 for clients with traumatic brain injuries, securing a £650,000 sum for a client who suffered with chronic pain, a £589,000 sum for a client who had serious orthopaedic injuries and a £490,000 settlement for a client who suffered a serious orthopaedic injury and traumatic brain injury. This case was settled by negotiation where there was still a denial of liability.
