We were instructed by Mr M as a result of an accident he was involved in whilst skiing in France.  The circumstances of the accident were not clear and there was a disagreement as to who was at fault.  We were instructed to pursue a claim on his behalf and also defend the counter-claim being brought by the other skier involved.

The matter was pursued through the English Courts and because of a quirk of French law, which was applied to the circumstances of the accident; both parties were compensated by the insurer of the other party.

Mr M’s claim was settled in the sum of £8,000, having sustained superficial facial injuries and minor neck pain.  The other party’s claim was settled for in excess of £50,000.
