Expérience
- Reducing £40,000+ loss of earnings to £nil following a detailed review of the accounting records confirming no payments to subcontractors, and employed staff were furloughed, during the relevant times.
- Using mileage details on MOT certificates and service invoices to demonstrate the Claimant was travelling significantly more than claimed post-accident effectively eliminating 80% of their loss of earnings claim.
- Identifying the Claimant (in the Public Sector) would have lost their ‘protected pay’ status had they retired and returned to work as claimed, substantially reducing their loss of earnings and pension.
- Eliminating a five-figure loss based on forced sale of the Claimant’s business. The due diligence couldn’t have been completed in the timescale and investigations proved the sale process started before the accident.
- Past notable cases include a fatal accident claim heard in the Singapore Supreme Court and Home Office cases for wrongful imprisonment involving substantial loss of earnings and pensions.
