Royal Mail delivery worker wins £2,700 compensation for knee injury

Our client, Mr Riding, asked Simpson Millar LLP to help assist him in a personal injury claim where he suffered an injury to his knee.



Mr Riding was working for royal mail delivering post when the gate through which he was entering collapsed. The gate caused him to fall to the floor and sustain injury to his right knee.

The defendant, failed to ensure that Mr Riding had a safe passage to and from the property in accordance with the Occupiers Liability Act. Mr Riding had previously delivered post to the property but the gate had always remained open. The defendant was negligent because he allowed the gate to remain in disrepair and it posed a foreseeable risk of injury to visitors to the property.

Mr Riding was absent from work for a week and therefore successfully claimed for loss of earnings together with compensation for the personal injury claim.

The defendant would not accept that the injury was caused as a result of the accident therefore court proceedings were issued. The defendant’s solicitors then settled the case promptly offering £2,700 compensation which was accepted by Mr Riding.

Mr Riding spoke of the services her received saying : "A very successful conclusion thanks to Nagam Din and her team for your help and professional expertise at a very difficult time in my life."

"Keep up the good work for other unfortunate people of this country."

A very successful conclusion thanks to Nagam Din and her team.

That's a strange name, I wonder where she is from.

Sounds like they are trying to drum up business from posties, they'll probably get inundated with them now!

Well apparently Solicitors are feeling the pinch like everyone else.

Simpson Millar are the Unions solicitors and act on behalf of them, and posties when appropriate - so I don't think they are "drumming up business" merely making us aware of them.

Simpson millar helped me gain compensation after I was knocked off my personal cycle when riding to work.
£2700 which was broke down into £1500 damage to cycle and £1200 personal injury not sure on how much they made but I am very happy with the outcome.Would have been easy for them to represent me as Driver admitted responsibility and a Paramedic was driving just behind the accident and treated me and called the police!
