Mishandled personal injury case

My representatives have mishandled my case. I'm unable to pursue compensation from those responsible for my injury.

Those representatives (usually solicitors) are obliged to tell you if they have made a mistake. They may have missed an important date or failed to have done something required by the Court. In these cases, your claim will be made against your representatives, who are insured against making these mistakes. Your claim will be a claim for the compensation you would have received if the mistake had not been made.

Case Study:

Lucy was involved in a road traffic accident; but the solicitors missed the three year limitation period meaning Lucy could no longer make a claim.

The car crash killed one of the passengers and left Lucy seriously injured. She made a claim using a Leeds City Centre solicitors' firm. The rule is that a claim has to be made within three years of the collision date. But because there were technical issues with regards to the car being overloaded, potentially stolen and for reasons not entirely clear, the solicitor missed the three year limitation period. As a result, the claim became statute barred and Lucy was unable to claim. Following professional guidelines, the solicitors wrote to Lucy to indicate their mistake and invited her to take independent legal advice.

She asked us to review her claim. We issued proceedings against the negligent solicitors and Lucy was compensated in full for £65,000.
