Feel safe with Staveley Head
Jean was in the local council offices. “I’d just popped in to pay my council tax,” she said. But one of the council’s cleaners had been washing the floor. It was still wet and Jean slipped. “One minute I was standing up,” said Jean, “The next I was flat on the floor. And oh, the pain I was in…”
Jean had broken her left leg in two places and dislocated her ankle. She was in hospital for a fortnight, in plaster for eight weeks and she’s been in pain ever since. “I don’t think it’ll ever be right,” she says sadly. “The doctors did their best, but it was such a bad fall…”
In the time it takes to walk two steps, Jean’s life had been turned on its head. She used to work as a teaching assistant in the local school, a job she loved. She couldn’t do it any more. She had to cancel her holiday. And she didn’t look quite so glamorous at her daughter’s wedding – not with her leg in plaster…
Fortunately it wasn’t a complete disaster. Jean phoned the Accident Claim compensation line at Staveley Head. Their dedicated team guided her through the whole process of claiming compensation. They found her the right solicitor – someone who they knew from experience was an expert in dealing with local councils – and they answered all her questions. In short, they took care of the compensation, leaving Jean to concentrate on her recovery.
Accidents can happen anywhere – in the workplace, in a shop you’re visiting or just while you’re out walking. As we all know they can happen when you’re driving and they can even happen when you’re in hospital – it could be a negligent doctor, it could be an infection you pick up while you’re being treated. Whatever the cause of the accident, if it wasn’t your fault, you’re entitled to compensation.
The trouble is, if you’re ill or injured you’re not going to want to spend your time fighting a claim. Like Jean, you’re going to want to concentrate on getting better. That’s why it’s a good idea to speak to experts like Staveley Head – experts who’ve been handling successful compensation claims for years, and who’ll help you find the right solicitor. You’ll need one who’s competent and efficient, and who’s used to dealing with your type of claim. With years of experience, Staveley Head will help you find exactly the right man or woman for the job.
Let’s leave the last word to Jean. “My leg’ll never be right,” she says. “But at least I’ve got my compensation safe in the bank. And if I’d had to fight for it myself…well, I just couldn’t have done it.”
