Accident and Personal Injury

We have many years of experience in handling all manner of personal injury claims including claims arising from road traffic accidents, workplace accidents, industrial diseases and public liability.

As well as acting for Claimants, we also have extensive experience of defending claims on behalf of insurance companies, local authorities and major companies.

For certain actions, we can offer a “no-win - no-fee” service so that in the unlikely event that you do not recover damages, you will not owe a penny in costs.

 

We can advise and assist you on the following:

  • Whether or not you have a claim in law.
  • The potential damages that you can expect to recover.
  • What is involved in bringing a personal injury action.
  • The best method of funding your case.

We offer a first class friendly service giving professional advise regarding the likely prospects of succeeding with your claim and the potential damages that you are likely to recover.

We can advise you regarding the procedure of bringing a claim, including notifying the Defendants and their insurers, formulating the allegations of negligence and/or breach of statutory duty, obtaining the evidence necessary to prove your claim including medical evidence setting out in detail the injuries that you have sustained, the treatment that you have received and containing an opinion and prognosis for the future. We can conduct negotiations in respect of both liability and quantum.

There are two types of damages that you can recover, namely damages for pain, suffering and loss of amenity, otherwise known as general damages. Damages that are readily ascertainable, such as loss of earnings, damage to property or personal items and medication or medical expenses are known as special damages.

Personal Injury claims must generally be brought within 3 years of the date of the accident or the date that you knew that you sustained serious injury or illness as a result (eg in disease claims).
