Compensation for victims of the Synlab scandal.
As the Synlab scandal continues to play out, a number of affected individuals are receiving cheques from His Majesty’s Court and Tribunal Services, reimbursing them for the fines they paid following conviction for drug driving.
It is estimated that as many as 1,700 people may be impacted by the Synlab scandal (which involves unreliable drug driving test results) and a lengthy process is now underway to rectify and overturn the unsafe convictions.
However, many individuals have experienced a much greater impact than the criminal fines they were ordered to pay. Some people’s lives have been turned upside down. Victims have lost their jobs and relationships have broken down as a direct consequence. Others have experienced spiralling mental health issue. Cheques that reimburse fines simply do not begin to provide a fair or adequate level of compensation for the wider suffering that these people have experienced.
The police themselves have accepted that the errors will have a significant knock-on effect for people’s lives, and our specialist lawyers are therefore now helping victims to achieve the justice they deserve. We are offering to provide a free case assessment of any potential claim arising out of the Synlab scandal. We shall be looking to recover compensation that not only takes into account the true financial impact of the scandal, particularly in terms of lost income and increased insurance costs, but also addresses the stress and emotional upset that the victims have suffered.
So, if you have suffered as a result of the Synlab scandal, then please contact our free and confidential legal helpline to discuss how we can help you to make a no win, no fee claim for compensation.
