Are we allowed to post recommendations?

I was injured (badly fractured wrist) in an accident at work - My Company immediately admitted they were at fault.

The H&S officer told me to claim. I was advised Fenton’s was very good.

Sadly my case it a touch complex so remains unresolved (2yrs) however I have found my case handler is brilliant. They are always contactable via telephone/email and the paperwork is easy and simple to follow. The appts were all at my convenience.

I am NOT an employee of Fenton’s nor have anything to gain from recommending them.

Why recommend a company that has taken 2 yrs to sort your claim out, they sound a bit rubbish.;)

Tygermoth has said it's a complex claim.

If you have a severe injury, it should take a long time to settle, because you need to know what the final outcome is going to be before the claim can be properly valued.

OP I think you were totally at fault - you should have gone to Tesco!
It's funny you can't play with the kids but have dragged yourself up to a keyboard and typed a stupid message on here.

guessing you don't have kids, when mine were in boisterous mood playing with them was harder work than hand digging house foundations

Yes I have kids but I went to Tesco so did not have meat fall on me!

Just so you know, these sorts of people crop up in just about every thread of this nature. And they rarely have any idea what they're talking about. My advice would be to simply ignore them and concentrate on the people who are actually willing to give you constructive and helpful information. They do not warrant your time in responding to them.

Am I the only person that thought the OP was a "Vicky Pollard" type person after reading the first post?

How does a tray of meat fall onto the top half of your back? I really can't imagine how that could happen in a supermarket. Even if it did I can't imagine how it would cause enough injury to warrant going to A and E?

In reading over this I do feel a bit sceptical about the situation. If you genuinely are injured however to the point you feel you need compensation for your injuries then contact a local personal injury solicitor who will represent you against Asda.

Best of luck with it though, hopefully your injuries pass fairly quickly.

(And look at all the insurers/banks/high street retailers etc who use cashback as an inducement - using your approach, are they all untrustworthy too?)

Good point, I do see a solicitor temping you with money to use them as something quite 'grubby' though for some reason. An 'honest' company would use their reputation to entice you rather than open their wallet. The biggest majority of solicitors that seem to offer cash incentives relate solely to personal injury claims rather than other law disputes.

I see what you mean about "grubby" but I'm guessing it's chicken & egg given that their major source of income is referrals from the insurance companies who demand/gratefully receive significant referral fees.

Out of interest, would any insiders care to share the amounts of the referral fees charged/received by the insurance companies? Are they always flat rate or do % deals or differing amounts for different types of cases happen too?
