Case study – warehouse worker receives £1.2 million in compensation after he was reversed into by fork lift truck driver
A warehouse manager, referred to as Mr S in this case study, had his life turned upside down after he was reversed into by a fork lift truck whilst working at a transport company. With the help of Birchall Blackburn Law, Mr S won a case against his previous employer.
The 43 year old suffered significant injuries including a severely damaged foot and ankle, the loss of toes, a crushed heel and brain injury. Despite fighting to save his leg for over 15 months Mr S’s leg was amputated below the knee. A swelling to the brain required two surgical procedures and left him with 50 metal staples across his skull.
A friend put Mr S in touch with Birchall Blackburn Law while he was in recovery from the initial surgery. An expert team was able to assess his situation and put a case together against his employer to claim negligence.
Birchall Blackburn Law experts supported Mr S by helping him with a major rehabilitation process, accessing physiotherapy, neuro-psychotherapy, a support worker and the purchase of a new home where he would be comfortable and could move around safely.
The transport company denied responsibility for the accident but Birchall Blackburn Law fought to hold the firm accountable, and Court Proceedings in Mr S’s case were issued in the High Court of Justice, Manchester District Registry. The case settled before trial and he received £1.2 million in compensation. Read more…
Case study – a 52-year-old man walked for the first time in five years thanks to a cutting edge prosthetic limb.
He was only able to consider the advanced prosthetic technology after we were able to secure an interim payment to help fund specialist rehabilitation. The compensation allowed John to buy a light-weight wheelchair and he was able to trial a state-of-the-art prosthetic leg, which has a micro-processor in the joint to allow him to walk. Using two crutches, John stood and walked for the first time since his injury when he tested the hi-tech prosthetic.
John said: “It has made me feel very positive for the future. It was just a trial of the leg but I enjoyed it and I’m hopeful that it can help change my life for the better.”
The compensation that Birchall Blackburn Law helped secure will mean that he can buy the prosthetic leg and fund additional private rehabilitation and support. John used to be a keen walker, mountain biker and footballer. That all stopped after his knee injury and he had to rely on his family and friends to help him in his wheelchair.
The compensation settlement could change John’s life in so many ways. It has already enabled him to get back to the day-to-day activities we all take for granted – and push him to do much more.

We have been using Birchall Blackburn Law for a number of years on our commercial property purchases and leases. Tony Coates is particularly knowledgeable and an expert property solicitor, the service the Churchtown office provides is of a very high standard and cost effective. We look forward to working with Birchall Blackburn law again. Merriel Johnson, The Johnson SSAS.
Quick responses, updates, good price.
Great service and would recommend to anyone.
Thanks so much Birchall, without the work you put in at the end I doubt I would have my house today.

I’d just like to thank Vicki Rutherford, particularly, very clear, concise and prompt.
Lisa Royle was very down-to-earth and easy to get hold of. She always returned our calls promptly, and both she and her assistant, Jennie, actioned everything promptly. Very efficient and professional service. She acted for us on both the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new property.

I wished all our purchases had gone this way. Would definitely deal with you again as we have in the past.
Anna-Marie was always friendly whilst remaining professional.
Most impressed with service.
Thank you for acting for me.
Responsive and friendly.
Amanda Martland (superbly assisted by Jack Johnson) were an absolute pleasure to deal with. Throughout the recent conveyance they carried out for us, we can't recall one instance when the phone wasn't answered and very quickly. Every query that we brought up was answered promptly in a very clear and concise manner and the whole process of selling our property felt simple; this was obviously due to Amanda and Jack's skill and great effort in the background. I would recommend Birchall Blackburn Law without hesitation and, when I come to sell another property, within the next year, I'll be contacting Amanda with my instructions.
All round great service, friendly and I would definitely use again!
Thanks so much for all your help everyone has been fantastic.
There was nothing that I disliked it was a good smooth exchange.
I would recommend highly my solicitor Hannah Folds for her expertise in the handling of my purchase.
Lisa Royle is excellent and she and her team are very approachable.
Lisa Royle and Birchall Blackburn have dealt with a number of purchases and sales for me and my family. I always recommend Lisa to my clients with regard to conveyancing matters.
Sarah McIntyre is wonderful and kind.
Sarah made a difficult time and process for us very easy and was extremely helpful and sympathetic.
Birchall Blackburn have been my solicitor for a very long time - possibly over 30 years. Very professional and helpful staff - especially Ian.
Very satisfied with service provided.
Been with BB a long time. Very professional.
Sarah was lovely.
I have had cause to utilise the services of a solicitor for 3 house sales/purchases over the last 23 years. This however was my first time needing a solicitor for the sale of a business. I did and still do not hold any of the previous solicitors in high esteem as I felt they were overly expensive, difficult to track down, vague in their responses and failed miserably to understand the concept of urgency!
Knowing that I required the expertise of a Commercial solicitor left me expectantly waiting for a similar, if not worse, experience than those I had already endured. To my considerable amazement I have had my negative opinions thoroughly quashed. Tony Coates and the magnificent team at Birchall Blackburn Law have been outstanding from day 1 of, what has turned out to be, a very complex sales process.
Communication has been prompt, specific and clear to understand. Tony has provided guidance when necessary, even when that guidance has not been what I have wanted to hear and the level of professionalism that has been displayed in each and every interaction has been consistently first rate. Tony has demonstrated his ability to quickly adapt to hurdles , both expected and unexpected, and he has always kept me informed and discussed with me the various options I have available.
I cannot thank Tony and his team enough for all the work they have put in for me – you have all been genuinely fantastic.
I have worked with solicitors for many years I am 56 years old and I have found very few very helpful conscientious solicitors that have given me open honest and Wise advice and without charging a fortune for this information. Whenever I have asked for quotes I have found Birchall Blackburn very competitive and very competent. I have dealt specifically with Tony coates and his team on commercial and personal transactions. I've been very impressed with how often they have saved me money by offering sound Advice and Solutions that were unknown to me which really helped to make matters fast and smooth without serious costs.
And the thing I like most about them is the personal touch that they have and the communication which has been second to none everything has been dealt with fast and efficiently with full transparency help and explanations to understand the full legal implications with every part of the work carried out..
I've started to use Tony Coates and his team at Birchall Blackburn for all my legal solicitor work within my business where I own several commercial warehouses and also in selling personal property where they have dealt with many sales and purchases.
I would be the first to give them a five star rating. From the moment I had the first telephone call with Tony I have not looked back, always been very impressed had times where they've been able save me thousands of pounds with Solutions and great negotiation when we have often worked with terrible solicitors that were trying to make every penny from every problem. Tony almost had a skill to turn them around and bring and keep things Brief and to the point.
First class service thank you Birchall Blackburn I am a very happy customer.
I am writing to express our sincere thanks in dealing with both our wills and power of attorney. Both of us were still dealing with the recent diagnosis which we found quite distressing at the time.
You made us both feel at ease with your professional manner and gave us the information we needed to take a long look at putting our affairs in place for the future.
We both appreciate the time you gave us and guiding us through the process.
Once again, many thanks.

This is one of the fastest conveyance service I have seen in a while. Well done team Birchall.

They guided and helped me through a very difficult period after my accident.
Thank you to everyone at Birchall Blackburn Law for a very thorough and efficient pursuit of our claim.

Patient and caring (my husband has Alzheimers and he was with me). Professional patient and everything explained clearly.

Anna Marie is excellent! Hard to improve on such a good service. You treated me as a valued customer.
I couldn’t have wished for a better service. Thank you Anna Marie.
Fantastic service from Ben and Dan.
This was a very hard time for me and my family, and I
always felt I could call and talk over any concerns.
I must say Hannah Folds managed my case brilliantly. Very responsive, professional and patient, Hannah managed my expectation with a high degree of efficiency and urgency. Thank you Hannah!
Excellent service. Excellent price.
Jessica was brilliant.
Always quick to respond to questions and when we gave her a date we wanted to complete she made that happen, even though we brought it forward. We’re very happy!
Will
No problems, fast and efficient at all times.
Will
It was a family friend who told me to contact you. You were like a friend, not someone you could not talk to. I don’t think you can improve on perfection.

I was extremely happy with the level of service I received when I went in to make my Will. Anna Marie Knipe couldn’t have been better! Thank you so very much!
Lasting Power of Attoney
The service that we received was excellent and very professional. We saw your organisation on our local High St and we always, if possible, use local firms. It was easy to make contact and we are very impressed with the service that we received.

I am writing to say thank you for all the work you and Cathy have done for me. It was a pleasure meeting you and to have the business taken care of in such a friendly and efficient manner, giving me excellent explanations of what was entailed and why, every step of the way. I can now look forward with confidence, knowing that if or when I need to call on you again, things will be dealt with in the same way.
“Thanks for all your help!”

Commercial Property Sale
I had the pleasure of working with Tony Coates at Birchall Blackburn Law when I was selling my flower shop in East Sussex this Spring. I had informed Tony that the reason for the shop sale was due to a recent medical diagnosis which required as quick a sale as possible; Tony ensured that everything was done as quickly and efficiently as possible. I was able to contact Tony by email and phone with any questions that I had and he even answered the phone after hours one evening when I had planned on leaving a message. I was very impressed with how easy he made this for me; I felt that I was kept informed with all of the different stages and any set backs that might occur. My shop sale completed in seven weeks instead of the three months I had been expecting. I would highly recommend his services.
Commercial lease
I would like to thank Tony Coates of Birchall Blackburn Law for all his hard work and professionalism in dealing with the assignment of the lease for the Old John Peel Inn, he made a point of involving us at all stages and made a daunting process a little easier to understand and eventually complete. Should I ever need to involve the services of a competent and able solicitor in the future, Tony will be the first person I contact! Thanks once again.

The service I got from Tony Coates and his team was excellent. I found Tony really easy to talk to, he explained every step of the way in a way that was clear & easy to understand. The whole experience was a pleasant one, emails were always answered promptly and professionally.
I think I was first in touch with Tony early to mid Feb and we completed the sale of my business on 4th April 17. From one very happy client!
Commercial Lease
The team at Birchall Blackburn Law helped us a turn around a detailed commercial lease. We are delighted with the firm’s professionalism and look forward to working with them again.
Commercial Lease
Just a short note to thank you and your team for achieving the almost impossible – turning around a detailed commercial lease in less than 10 days from start to finish! It was really important for us to complete on the lease by our extremely tight dead line so that we could move into our new offices before the end of the month. You took on the challenge and worked extremely effectively and professionally to ensure you achieved this for us.
Over the years I have engaged some of the largest law firms in the world both in the UK and internationally and the service you provided on this transaction ranks up there with the best of them. All our future commercial property work will be coming your way!
Commercial Property
I have recently used the services of Birchall Blackburn Law for the potential purchase of a commercial property using a SIPP. I dealt with Tony Coates in your Southport office.
I would like to express how satisfied I was with Tony’s professionalism, competency and efficiently in dealing with myself, the Vendors solicitor and the SIPP provider over the potential purchase. I constantly felt that Tony had my own interests at the forefront of all his negotiations, especially in relation to the contentious ‘contract of sale’. It was also with the help of Tony’s knowledgeable advice that the purchase did not materialise due to the renovation costs far outweighing the future returns on the investment.
I am still looking for an investment property for my SIPP; and would have no hesitation in using Tony and his team at Birchall Blackburn Law Southport again for the conveyancing. Excellent service.
