| Accident at work |
Date settled

On the anniversary of the limitation period Tesco’s finally agreed to deal with our claim and offered to settle.

Date settled
June 2004
Details
Our client was a young girl travelling with her grandmother when being involved in a road traffic accident. We had dealt with her grandmother’s claim.

Outcome
Proceedings were issued and the matter was finally settled near our clients 18th birthday in the sum of £25,000.00. We have just learnt that our client has now married and with the benefits of the financial compensation is moving abroad.
