Notable Cases
- Louise represented a man involved in a motorway accident who suffered both physical and psychological injuries. He was subsequently diagnosed with chronic pain. The defendant insurer refused to negotiate or engage in a meaningful settlement meeting. Through her representation and advice her client was awarded almost £200,000 at court. Louise was able to secure an extra £20,000 in interest for him.
- Louise’s client sustained a peripheral nerve injury following a nasty motor accident. His claim was valued at just over £2,800,000. Louise engaged a Case Manager to assist with her client’s rehabilitation by arranging treatments to alleviate his pain and psychological symptoms thereby helping to maximise his recovery. Louise obtained a number of interim payments from the insurers to reduce her client’s financial hardship caused whilst he was unable to work, before successfully settling his claim at a Joint Settlement Meeting.

- “Brilliant service from start to finish. My morale was at rock bottom when I sort help from HJA to act on my behalf after seeing an advert on TV. I had suffered a serious injury at work which affected my physical and mental well-being. I never thought they would take my case seriously. A few months after making a claim, a gentleman from HJA contacted me and gave me his direct number and reassured me that they were taking my claim seriously and they believed they could help me. This put me at ease straightaway and the relationship began. I received regular updates via email and letters and I provided any information they required and attended various appointments needed to help build my case. Case took up to 3 years to resolve, I was pleased with the outcome and very happy to pay any fees due to HJA for all their hard work. Massive thank you to senior associate Louise Jukes and her team.”
