Case experience

• One of Jack's notable cases is that of a client who was crushed between two automated robotic vehicles at his place of work whilst he was en route to perform maintenance on one of the vehicles.  At trial, the judge found that there was a history of previous incidents of a similar nature and the Defendant failed to adequately risk-assess the nature of the automated robotic vehicle's work when in close proximity to employees and the client was awarded compensation for his physical and psychological injuries.  This case is now considered a precedent in a world where AI is the new normal.

Testimonials

‍

I've been working with Jack for the last year and he has gone above and beyond to try and help me. After three very long and stressful years my former work finally admitted fault to both claims and settled out side of court. I really do have Jack and his team to thank for this. I'm incredibly grateful for what they have done for my family.

Neil West, Review Solicitors

After an accident at work the advice I received from Thompsons solicitors, Jack Bloomer in particular was paramount in me receiving the compensation I deserved. Thank you very much for all the hard work you put in to get the best outcome in my claim.

Andy McHaffie, former client

Jack Bloomer was amazing in handling my dad's claim. Patient, understanding and was very kind even with my dad's language barrier. Amazing service and a great help! He won the case too!

Elsa Morina, former client

Great service, I would like to pass on my thanks to Thompsons solicitors, especially Jack Bloomer. Following an accident at work, my union referred me to Thompsons solicitors. My claim was then handled by Thompsons. This claim was handled professionally, timely and with good communication all the way through. I was able to have my claim resolved with financial settlement prior to court.
