Poor handling of a case by previous solicitors

The client had instructed a firm of solicitors in respect of a claim for injuries he had sustained in a road traffic accident.

Their handling of his case had been of a poor standard particularly in meeting deadlines. Unfortunately missing one such deadline resulted in his case being struck out meaning his case failed and entitled the Defendant to claim their costs from him. We were instructed to bring a claim against those solicitors and a settlement was achieved which meant the Defendant was paid their costs and the client received a sum of money to compensate him for the loss of his claim.
