Alistair Campbell
Efthymios’s Fight for Justice After a Devastating Car Accident
“From the moment I contacted HD Legal, I felt supported. Their team made sure that I wasn’t just a case number and worked hard to get me the compensation I deserved. They also arranged for the physiotherapy I needed, which helped me recover much quicker. I couldn’t recommend them enough.”
- Alistair Campbell
Circumstances:
Alistair Campbell, a construction worker in Edinburgh, was tasked with working on a scaffolding platform when the accident occurred. The scaffolding was improperly secured, and while Alistair was working at height, the scaffold gave way beneath him.
He fell several meters, landing on his leg and suffering a complex fracture that required immediate surgery. Alistair also sustained multiple bruises and was unable to return to work for several months, resulting in significant financial strain.

Challenges:
Alistair’s employer denied responsibility, asserting that the fall was due to Alistair’s own negligence. The insurance company for the construction firm rejected the claim, claiming that Alistair had failed to follow the correct safety procedures.
HD Legal’s panel of solicitors faced an uphill battle in gathering the evidence needed to prove the employer’s fault, but they did not back down. The key challenge was proving that the scaffolding was faulty and that the employer had failed in their duty of care to ensure a safe working environment.
How HD Legal’s Panel of Solicitors Assisted:
HD Legal’s panel of solicitors immediately started working on the case by arranging an independent assessment of the scaffolding.
Expert construction engineers were brought in to examine the site and the equipment, confirming that the scaffold’s instability was a result of poor construction and lack of maintenance.
HD Legal’s solicitors also gathered witness statements from colleagues who had observed the site conditions. In parallel, HD Legal arranged for Alistair to receive physiotherapy and rehabilitation to aid his recovery from the surgery and address the long-term impact of the injury.
The team worked closely with Alistair’s medical providers to ensure that his injuries were fully documented.
Compensation Outcome:
After months of detailed investigation and negotiation, HD Legal’s panel of solicitors successfully secured a compensation settlement of £120,000. This amount covered Alistair’s medical expenses, loss of earnings, and compensation for the significant impact on his life due to the injury.
