The claim was settled in May 2022 for £750,000
Of their experience in claiming with Jefferies Solicitors, the client said “Jefferies Solicitors has an excellent understanding of head and brain injuries. My Jefferies Solicitors Legal Team of Kathryn Harland and Beth Morris were very empathetic and supportive of the incident I had been through; the medical treatment received; recognised the gaps in the medical treatment; they understood my rural living situation and sourced ‘top of their field’ medical professionals allowing sufficient travel time to these appointments. Meetings, by zoom and telephone, were always both professional and friendly; emails were prompt and very explanatory. Kathryn’s guidance and advice coupled with information sourced and received from Headway enabled me to be accepting of my recovery road and journey. Again with Kathryn’s help and understanding I have accepted the consequences of my head injury and have worked and continue to work to build a life with a head injury.”
