Success in damages following serious collision with lamp post

A highway at dusk with bright streetlights illuminating the road. Long exposure captures the streaks of lights from moving vehicles, creating parallel lines of white and red. The sky transitions from deep blue to dark as city lights sparkle in the distance.
Jill Greenfield and Jennifer Buchanan have successfully settled a case for Julian Fixon-Owoo. Julian was involved in a nasty road traffic accident. He was a front seat passenger in his cousin’s car. While driving home from Brighton, his cousin lost control of the vehicle and collided with a lamp-post.

Julian suffered significant injuries to his spleen, kidney, pelvis, jaw and teeth. Julian had originally instructed solicitors he found via a television advert. He was concerned that his case was not being properly investigated. Fieldfisher were instructed as a result of a personal recommendation. We were able to turn around Julian’s case within a very short period, obtaining relevant medical reports, witness statements from family and friends and other much needed evidence. This enabled us to negotiate a six-figure sum settlement and an increase of an offer made when Julian was with his previous solicitors.
