APPROACH

Johanna is pragmatic and knows which points to push forward. She takes pride in providing excellent client care to her clients to ensure that they receive the best possible outcome. She is personable, empathic and will manage clients’ expectations.

EXPERIENCE

Johanna represented an elderly client who suffered a hip injury after being knocked down by a defective gate at a garden centre. Liability was admitted, and the case settled for £65,000.

Due to the claimant’s reduced mobility, Johanna worked hard to secure funding for an electric wheelchair as well as securing a push-attendant wheelchair. The Claimant also received private physiotherapy. Adaptations are also to be made around the Claimant’s home compromising of ramped access. Given the Claimant’s age, a swift settlement was a priority, and by working collaboratively, we achieved a positive outcome in a timely manner.
