We have a wide range of experience in all aspects of personal injury claims including:

Only a Solicitor can conduct litigation on your behalf. Claims assessors advertising on television and other so called "Claims Representatives" cannot act for a claimant in court procedings.

The only way to ensure your claim is properly handled is to instruct a specialist Solicitor. We can arrange home or hospital visits and out of hours appointments on request.

Who will handle my case?
Your case will be handled by a specialist lawyer, with whom you will have direct contact throughout your case. If your case goes to court, either we will represent you or we will instruct a barrister to do so.

What is involved in a Personal Injury Claim?
We will need to obtain evidence from you, which we can put to your opponents or their insurers. For your claim to succeed, you will have to prove that your opponents were at fault and that your injuries and losses were caused as a result. Many claims are resolved without the need to go to court.

If your opponents admit liability or if your claim is taken to court, we will need to obtain expert evidence, to prove your injuries and also, sometimes, to assist in proving that your opponents are legally liable to compensate you. We will also need to obtain statements from you and any witnesses.

We will undertake all of the communications with your opponents. We will also prepare any documents which are needed, if court proceedings are necessary. We will advise you on the likely value of your claim, your chances of success and any settlement offers received throughout your case.

We will advise you on the funding of your legal costs and how you can be protected against the risk of having to pay your opponent’s costs, if your claim is unsuccessful.

What will it cost?
We offer an initial free no obligation meeting, at which we can give you full information about the funding options for your case.

We will provide you with independent impartial advice on your potential claim.

We undertake many cases on a 'No Win, No Fee' (Conditional Fee) basis. We will also explore with you whether you have any legal expenses cover, both to cover our costs and to protect you against having to pay your opponents' costs, if your claim does not succeed. If you do not have any cover, we can arrange this for you. This is subject to our being satisfied that you have a reasonable case.

If your claim is successful, our aim is that you will receive your compensation in full, without any deduction, and we normally manage to achieve this. If there is risk that we might not be able to achieve this, we will discuss this with you at the outset and keep you updated about this risk at regular intervals during your case.

Q1. How long do I have to make a personal injury claim?

If the accident happened at sea or in the air, a different time limit may apply, as it will if the accident happened outside England & Wales. Some countries have time limits of as little as one year.

In some cases the illness/injury does not develop until some time after the "accident". For example people who have been exposed to asbestos may not know they have contracted a disease/illness for 10, 20, 30 or 40 years after the actual exposure. In those circumstances the three-year limitation period runs from the date of knowledge of the disease/illness.

Q. Should I try and make a claim myself?

A. Claimants can conduct claims themselves in their own right. However we have personal injury specialists who can advise on the prospects of success, what evidence may be needed and what claims can be made. Remember, if the claim is lost, then the loser could be responsible for the winner's legal costs and expenses. It is possible to insure yourself against this risk and indeed, you may already have such cover without realising. We can advise you on this.

A. The normal rule is that the loser pays the costs of the winner so long as your actual injuries are worth in excess of £1000 and/or your claim has (not including interest and your legal costs) a financial value of more than £5000. The amount that the loser pays can either be agreed or, in the absence of agreement, decided by the court. If your injuries are worth less than £1000 then only fixed legal costs can usually be recovered from the losing party.
