Richard Meggitt
Partner/Solicitor
Major Trauma Cases
0114 2672472
Year of call as a solicitor 1996.
Richard is a qualified solicitor, having joined the firm in 1996. He has deliberately restricted his case load to serious injury claims. Having acted for more than 500 Claimants in major trauma cases, his expertise is recognised by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers; Richard is a senior litigator.
ASD successfully pursued a claim for compensation on behalf of Mrs F, a Sheffield woman whose life was blighted by an injury she sustained when she stepped into a defective inspection grate in the pavement. Both Yorkshire Water and Sheffield City Council denied liability for the accident and proceedings had to be issued against both parties.
The fact that neither party would take responsibility was understandably extremely frustrating for Mrs F who was left effectively housebound for months as a result of a serious fracture to her foot.
ASD would not relent and pursued both parties all the way to Court. It was only at the Court door on the morning of the trial that both parties capitulated and agreed to pay her £10,000.00 apiece.
