Margaret Forbes
Efthymios’s Fight for Justice After a Devastating Car Accident
“I’m so thankful for HD Legal’s support. They handled everything for me, from gathering evidence to negotiating with the council. Thanks to them, I was able to focus on recovering and didn’t have to worry about the legal side of things.”
- Margaret Forbes
Circumstances:
Margaret Forbes was walking to her local grocery store in Glasgow when she tripped on a large crack in the pavement, causing her to fall and break her ankle. The pavement had been in disrepair for months. Despite numerous complaints from local residents, no repairs had been carried out. As a result of the fall, Margaret required surgery and was unable to work for several months.

Challenges:
The local council initially denied responsibility for the defective pavement, claiming that it had not received previous reports of the hazard.
HD Legal’s panel of solicitors had to gather photographic evidence of the pavement’s condition and secure statements from other pedestrians who had witnessed or experienced the same issue. The challenge was proving the council’s liability for failing to maintain the pavement in a safe condition.
How HD Legal’s Panel of Solicitors Assisted:
HD Legal’s solicitors quickly got to work, gathering evidence from local residents, arranging for expert assessments, and liaising with Margaret’s medical team.
They arranged for Margaret to receive physiotherapy and rehabilitation to ensure the best possible recovery from her surgery. Their solicitors made sure that Margaret’s claim was well-documented and presented in a way that clearly demonstrated the council’s neglect.
Compensation Outcome:
After several rounds of negotiation, HD Legal’s panel of solicitors secured £50,000 in compensation for Margaret, covering her medical costs, lost earnings, and ongoing care during her recovery period.
