Aegis Legal have recently secured a large settlement for a Claimant against a public house.
The Claimant attended her local pub with her partner and friends to celebrate her birthday.
Unfortunately for her, she slipped on water on the dancefloor and suffered a broken wrist.
Investigations revealed that the water on the dancefloor was rain water which was dripping from a
broken roof. Despite being aware of this hazard the Defendant failed to repair the roof and
therefore placed the Claimant at risk.
The Defendant unreasonably refused to accept any responsibility for this accident.
The Claimant’s Solicitor at Aegis Legal did not give up and undertook considerable work on the case
including taking witness statements from 9 different witnesses.
After collating a considerable amount of evidence in relation to the Defendant’s negligence, the
Defendant was forced to reconsider their position and the Claimant’s claim has recently settled in
the sum of £31,000.00.
The Claimant said ‘I feel that this was an excellent result’.
