Andrew - a case study
The parents of Andrew, an 11 year old boy, were advised by local solicitors that
there was no prospect of recovering damages for the traumatic brain injury sustained by their
child when he ran out from the pavement into the path of a car. Digby Brown
was instructed almost three years after the accident and after full investigation commenced
court proceedings. The case settled prior to the court hearing for £600,000.
John - a case study
After being instructed by the elderly parents of John, who was a passenger in a car
which was involved in an accident where the driver had no licence or insurance. Digby
Brown was able to obtain an admission of liability. This meant we were able to obtain an interim
payment which allowed us to put in place an early care regime with a case manager and support
workers. This allowed John's parents, who had been struggling on their own, to receive proper
assistance with his care. This care regime allowed John to rebuild his life. The case settled
at £1.2million on the morning of the court hearing.
