£160,000 settlement for an injury whilst working abroad

Michael Wangermann, a personal injury specialist solicitor at Ashtons Legal, has negotiated compensation of £160,000 for Mr P who was injured whilst working for a British company in the Middle East. It was a technically challenging case taking into account the cross-border element and the time frames in which a claim can be brought.

Michael comments: “This was a difficult case with various complexities including who was responsible and why. We also had to contend with other parties who were very slow to respond to communications. Despite these difficulties, Ashtons Legal was able to support the client, advise on the impact on his employment and obtain the evidence required to settle the claim at the highest appropriate level. It is not uncommon for claims concerning injuries abroad to take a little longer to settle than those where the injury is incurred in the UK, but with the right support they are certainly worth pursuing.”
