Circumstances of accident
Our client was walking along a busy Glasgow Street when he tripped and sustained a severe foot fracture due to a neglected pothole. The incident occurred on a well-travelled road managed by the local authority.
How we helped our client
To build a strong case against the local authority, we employed a strategic approach that highlighted the expertise of our team at Calio. We gathered evidence, including photographs of the pothole, roads and inspection records, and medical records.
We were quick to engage the services of a Roads and Highway Specialist with extensive experience in identifying and assessing the negligence of local authorities in maintaining public spaces. The local authority initially denied liability which led us to raise a Court action. Shortly after the case was raised, we secured a four-figure settlement for our client.
Settlement
Our client received a fair settlement that not only covered his financial losses but also held the local authority accountable for their negligence. The case showcased the importance of leveraging our specialised expertise together with thorough investigation to achieve a successful outcome for our client.
