Accidents at work compensation: Mark’s journey to justice

"Morton Fraser stood up for our families' rights and helped us after my brother was killed at work.

We were let down by the first firm of personal injury solicitors we went to and had to find a new firm at short notice.  Morton Fraser helped my family raise a fatal accident claim against my brother's employers and the owners of a dangerous work site.

The case had to go all the way to court and start being heard by the judge before the employers buckled and accepted the correct level of compensation for the whole family. The employers had made five previous offers which Morton Fraser advised us to reject.  I am so pleased we did reject them, as we ended up getting the correct level of compensation in the end.

I feel justice was done and that we were vindicated."  -  Mark Taylor, a Morton Fraser client
