Case examples
John was injured in a motorcycle accident. John is not a "young tearaway" but a
married, professional man in his thirties. One morning, he was riding along a main
road and he could not have predicted that an elderly driver of a motorhome would
suddenly and without warning turn right across his path sudden. A collision was
inevitable and the injuries were horrific. John suffered an above-knee amputee.
Simpson Millar were John’s solicitors of choice. His claim is on-going.
Our client was just 2 years old when she was struck by a bus. Despite desperate
attempts, the doctors were unable to save her leg and she underwent below-knee amputation.
Her parents did not know where to turn and when a solicitor arrived at the hospital,
they instructed her. However, her parents were not convinced that the claim was
being progressed with sufficient speed or skill and were eventually recommended
to speak to our Warren Collins. Interim payments were secured and within 2 years
a 7-figure settlement was achieved. The court had no problem with approving this
very satisfactory outcome.
