Rather more upsettingly, he\u00a0was unable\u00a0play football for over two months!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">To speed up his recovery, we arranged private physiotherapy for Alex\u00a0and as a result of that treatment, he has made a quick and full recovery from his injuries.\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1547 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tayloremmet.co.uk\/blog\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/alexw_2015.png\" alt=\"alexw_2015\" width=\"350\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">His \u00a0claim was resolved quickly as we were able to provide compelling evidence that the Defendant&#8217;s version of events\u00a0was incorrect which highlights the importance of obtaining contact details from witnesses after an accident.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">No wonder Alex is smiling in the picture on the right.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If you would like advice on any type of personal injury claim, call our personal injury team on 0114 218 4000 or email us at P.I.Dept@tayloremmet.co.uk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Green (pictured left) has recently settled a claim for a client we know well who was, like many unlucky citizens, involved in a road traffic accident in May 2016.
