The claimant’s injuries have been quite extensive and several surgical procedures have been operated alongside rehab.

Skiing Accident Results in Ankle Injury
19 November 2009
In a recent skiing accident, our client was injured whilst skiing in Italy. He was wounded coincidently, by a British skier. The potential defendant fell on a drag lift colliding with our client, whereby he suffered a nasty ankle injury. Unfortunately the defendant has proved difficult to deal with as she did not provide details of her home address; therefore a tracing service had to be employed to obtain this information. This matter is still ongoing.
