David’s case experience

  • Secured a £11,000 settlement in case where a client developed vibration white finger after working for many years as a local authority gardener. The client was never warned of the long-term effects until many years later by his employer, who initially denied culpability. 
  • Secured a £11,000 settlement after the employer admitted they had exposed David’s client to vibrating tools on a daily basis over a decade, but claimed they were not responsible for the vibration white finger he had contracted.
  • Secured a settlement for £25,000 for a client who used an electric engraving pen for more than 20 years developed had arm vibration syndrome. The employer conceded liability and offered £20,000 in compensation. David advised the client to reject the offer and the claim was settled for £25,000 after court proceedings had been initiated.
