Leading Personal Injury Specialists

You may be eligible for compensation for an accident that has taken place. We are here to help and advise you on what you may be entitled to for your loss. The term Personal Injury signifies harm that has been caused to your person as the result of the negligence of others, whether a person, party or employer. This injury can cover both physical and psychological damage caused due to this event. We excel at being personal injury solicitors and are experienced at managing all types of accident claims. No matter what the cause of the injury, if we believe you have reasonable grounds for a claim, we will aim to get you the compensation you may be entitled to.

Types of Personal Injury Claims

Road Traffic Accidents

Please see our Road traffic accident claims page.

Work accidents

If you happen to have been hurt in a work accident, and it can be demonstrated that your personal injuries are because of the negligence of an employer then you may be eligible for a personal injury claim. An employer is also responsible for co-workers behaviours that contribute to accidents that may result in harm. Keep in mind that you also have an obligation to make your employer aware of any accident that takes place whilst at work.

Falls, trips or slip accidents

These accidents may happen on public or private property and can cover a myriad of incidents. The most common causes these types of incidents are spillages which in turn leave the surface slippery or badly maintained paths and roads which can cause raised sections of ground or potholes. The impact of slips and falls can vary greatly from bruising to broken bones, concussion and more. Regardless of where it may have happened there may be someone who can be held accountable.

Sports injuries

Compensation could be available to you if you have sustained an injury while participating in any sports activity. In order for you to instigate a sports injury claim, the damage must have occurred under irregular circumstances, such as deliberate harm brought on by the irresponsibility of the other party. There must be evidence, nevertheless, that the other party was at fault.

Why make a personal injury claim?

A personal injury claim is made in order to obtain compensation for the suffering and affliction that has been experienced as a result of the negligence of another.  Often, compensation can also be reclaimed to compensate any financial costs connected to the personal injury, such as lost income whilst the injured party is unwell and for medical expenses.

A feeling of justice can be an additional motive for moving ahead and making a claim so that you and your family can get on with the rest of their lives.

Personal injury claims process

The first steps we will take is to send a letter of claim to the person or party responsible for your accident. The responsible party or defendant has a fixed period to reply and state whether they accept or deny liability for your injury. If they accept we may reconcile out of court but we will advise you every step of the way. If they do not accept liability then we will have to issue proceedings through the Courts. You will be kept fully updated through the legal process. We work with a team of highly skilled Barristers.

We are diligent and experienced and combined with our specialist's knowledge we can make the whole process quicker and easier, increasing your chances of being reimbursed with the correct compensation you deserve.
