Case one – pothole on pavement
Mrs F was walking along a busy street on her way to the shops. She was using a walking stick, which helped to keep her mobile. As she was walking, she did not see a large and deep pothole on the surface. Her foot went into it, causing her to fall to the floor and damage her hip. Passers-by stopped and got her medical help, and were able to confirm that the pothole was approximately three inches deep.
"I'm so grateful to all those who helped me"
After contacting Ashley Ainsworth, Mrs F received £9,670. One of our team managed to prove that the hole had been reported to the authorities over two weeks earlier, but nothing had been done to rectify the defect.

Case two – trip over a raised paving slab
Ms D was walking with friends in a pedestrianised shopping area. She was carrying shopping bags and talking to friends when she tripped over a raised paving slab, and fell to the floor. The concrete slab had a large defect split in the middle of it, which had caused one end to rise up approximately two inches above the surface. Ms D was taken to hospital to treat her leg injury.
"Thanks for getting me my compensation"
We fought hard for Ms D, and got her the £7,950 compensation she was entitled to. Luckily, her friends had taken pictures of the defunct slab, and these were used to back-up her claim.

Case three – unsafe drain cover work causes trip
Mrs W was walking along the pavement in her home town, in an area that was poorly lit at night. Work had been taking place a few weeks earlier by a utility company on a drain cover in the pavement. The work had left a hole in the surface completely surrounding the cover. Mrs W's foot became caught between the pavement and the drain cover, and she broke her ankle when she fell.
"You made me feel like justice had been done"
Mrs W received £7,720 after asking Ashley Ainsworth to help. Our team proved that the utility company should not have left the surface in such a poor state.
