Our personal injury and accident claim solicitors

If your life has been impacted by an accident or illness and someone else was responsible, then you could be eligible for compensation - but we can do so much more than secure a financial settlement.

We can also help you and your family receive the rehabilitation and support you need to make the best recovery possible and rebuild your life. That’s what makes our accident solicitors different and is one of the many qualities that set us apart from other personal injury solicitors and claims companies.

All solicitors within the department are experienced in dealing with complex and catastrophic claims, either on behalf of claimants or their dependents, with appropriate support from the department’s trainee legal executives, legal executives, solicitors and/or members of organisations such as the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) and the Law Society Personal Injury Accreditation Scheme.

As accredited members of the Law Society's Personal Injury Panel with more than 20 years of experience, you can be confident in our personal injury and accident claim solicitors’ ability to help you obtain the support that you need and deserve.

Make an enquiry Meet our experts

Initial chat

Our personal injury solicitors will talk to you to get details of your potential case. If we think you have a claim, we will help you fund it under our ‘no win, no fee’ scheme.
Evidence

We will then gather expert medical evidence to support your claim and establish fault.
Negotiations

We will negotiate claims out of court but will assist with court proceedings if there is no agreement. The level of compensation received will depend upon the nature and impact of your injury.
Rehabilitation

Our accident claim solicitors will help you access the appropriate rehabilitation, support, and care that you and your family might need.

Serious accidents, brain, and spinal injuries

It takes seconds to change a life, but time and money to rebuild it after a devastating accident. We have the specialist expertise to help you deal with a serious injury claim.

There are so many ways in which people with brain, spinal or serious injuries can be helped to lead a full life, but getting assistance via the NHS can be difficult. Appropriate compensation is the key to accessing the right help, such as therapy, aids and equipment, accommodation, care and extra costs. Money may need to be managed through the Court of Protection.

Our solicitors offer a personal, local service for all aspects of serious injury claims, funded by insurance-backed conditional fee agreements, to help you achieve the best outcome. We also hold a legal aid contract for medical negligence and can offer legal aid for children with severe neurological injuries caused by alleged negligence.

We're accredited by the Headway Head Injury Solicitors Directory 2024, demonstrating our expertise in handling brain injury cases.

Immediate rehabilitation

Our personal injury solicitors focus on aiding your recovery and there are several ways of arranging this immediately if using your local NHS services is proving unsatisfactory.

We can involve the defendant’s insurers under the Rehabilitation Code and arrange it that way, or we may also consider arranging it for you privately, with us funding any treatment, before then recovering the cost from the defendant and/or their insurers as part of your claim.

Personal injury FAQs

We help clients recover from injuries and accidents every day.

Here are the most common questions we receive in regard to medical negligence cases.

What is the time limit for making a personal injury claim?

You have three years from the date of your accident, or following an act of medical negligence unless it involves children, those who lack mental capacity and treatment resulting in death where the time limits vary. However, you should contact us at the earliest opportunity, so we can advise you on the best way to take your claim forward.
Do you offer no win, no fee?

You will not pay any upfront costs. Our ‘no win, no fee’ personal injury solicitors operate on the basis that if your case is unsuccessful, you will not have to pay any fees. If your claim is successful, we guarantee you a minimum of 75% of your compensation.
How much will I get by way of compensation?

This again will vary, depending on the extent of your injuries, how long it takes you to recover, if you suffer any further complications, what (if any) pre-existing problems are involved, and if you require any further medical treatment, long-term care or other treatment.
