We have just settled a complex case for a gentleman who suffered a double heel fracture, known as a calcaneal fracture after he fell from a roof whilst painting a house for his employer.

These injuries can be devastating as, in most cases, the injured person will not be able to walk properly again. They tend to be suffered when people fall from a height, and try to land on their feet. Another sad effect of these sorts of injuries is that they usually mean a return to ladder work, or work at height, is impossible.

Outcome

After a long battle with the opponent, their insurer admitted liability and agreed to fund rehabilitation for our client. Despite significant therapeutic input, he now struggles to go anywhere without a wheelchair, and is unlikely to return to meaningful employment.

The case was recently settled for £250,000.00 a figure which properly compensates our client for his pain and suffering, his financial losses following the accident and his lost earnings and pension payments in the years until he was due to retire.

John Green is an expert in life changing injury claims. He has won a number of cases for people who have suffered life changing heel fractures and has worked with them to make sure that they receive significant private treatment, funded by the opponent, to complement the NHS services they are able to access.
