    Securing the rightful compensation for an accident at work

    Mr S., a Union Member, was involved in an accident at work when part of his thumb was amputated by moving machinery.  Despite a pre-litigation offer of £20,000, Digby Brown took the case into court to achieve a higher settlement.  Through hard negotiations, Digby Brown were successful in obtaining £35,000 for the client.
