Selected Personal Injury cases
O v T (1) U (2) - Representing the Claimant who suffered a spinal cord injury in a motorcycle accident. Orlando was involved throughout the liability and quantum dispute, resulting in a settlement for £1.7m at JSM in October 2023.
Q v P - Representing the Claimant in a PI claim that settled for £2.5m (at a second JSM). The Claimant was a motorcyclist who developed compartment syndrome, DVT, and then post thrombotic syndrome after he fractured his leg in an accident. The case turned on whether it would be beneficial for the Claimant to have an above knee amputation or whether the usual benefits would be negated by the Claimant’s post thrombotic syndrome.
Re P v CICAP - Acting for a teenaged applicant before the Criminal Injuries Compensation Appeals Panel. P had sustained severe brain damage at the age of 6 weeks when being cared for by her father. After a series of hearings the CICAP accepted that P had been the victim of crime (contradicting the decision made by the police at the time the injury was sustained) and she therefore succeeded in obtaining compensation under the scheme (it being anticipated that she would receive the maximum award of £500,000).
