What we offer?
While there are many law firms that advertise personal injury claim services, we focus on delivering a personal and dedicated service, understanding that each case and client is unique. Our team works on a no win, no fee basis and always take the time to build a close relationship with you – something that is invaluable at a time when you may feel at your most vulnerable.
What is involved in a personal injury claim?
In legal terms ‘personal injury’ is used to describe any injury or illness that may have been caused or made worse by someone else’s negligence. This can include the actions of both individuals and businesses.
Under these circumstances, as well as being compensated for your pain and suffering, you may also be entitled to claim compensation for the cost of specialist medical treatment or to cover any time you may have lost at work. You should also note that you have three years to make a personal injury claim from the date of an accident (or from the time your illness was diagnosed), otherwise your claim may automatically be out of time. Different time limits apply to children or those who lack capacity. If you are unsure about the time limits in making a claim get in touch with our team to find out more.

The most common forms of personal injury claim are as follows:
This includes motorists, cyclists, pedestrians, and passengers. Road users have the right to claim compensation if they have been injured in an accident that wasn’t their fault.
Including head injuries and spinal injuries – when the very worst happens, getting the appropriate compensation to meet your future needs is essential.
Slips and trips may occur anywhere but if the accident has been caused because of someone else’s mistake, there may be a case to answer.
An injury sustained as part of a violent crime (whether mental or physical) can be lodged with the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority. This can include loss of earnings or expenses associated with your injury or even the funeral expenses incurred if a loved one was killed as a result of the crime.
Any case involving the loss of a loved one must understandably be handled sensitively. In fatal cases, it may be that a Coroners Inquest takes place providing important information for the bereaved family.
