Professional negligence claims relating to Miners Vibration White Finger
When the Vibration White Finger compensation scheme was established, hundreds of firms of solicitors all over the UK began making compensation claims on behalf of current, ex and deceased miners.
The claims were made up of various parts, depending on each individual. However, despite receiving regular updates and bulletins regarding the scheme, some solicitors didn't advise their clients about every part of the compensation which could be included within the claim. Because they only made partial claims on behalf of their clients, many were not paid enough compensation.
In some cases, the missing, un-claimed portion of the compensation amounts to 5 figure sums and thousands of miners have suffered financially because of their solicitor’s negligence.
We can help miners and, in cases where the claimant has sadly passed on, their families claim the remaining part of the compensation they are legally entitled to, and should have received to start with. Our thorough and dedicated approach will ensure that, this time, nothing is overlooked and that you receive the compensation and service you deserve.
Mellor Hargreaves have been successful in representing many ex-coal miners in obtaining compensation. The amounts of compensation obtained from former solicitors range from £4,000 to £17,000. Some claims which are in progress are anticipated to be as much as £25,000.
