Personal Injury Claims

We have a wealth of experience and a proven track record in helping individuals and their families bring successful personal injury claims.

We get to know you as an individual and take time to understand your needs and objectives, as well as the factual and legal issues in your case, which enables us to provide clear, practical and relevant advice to support you throughout the claim process.

How we can help with personal injury claims

• Road Traffic Accidents – If you have been in a road traffic collision caused by another driver, whether as a passenger, the driver of a vehicle, a cyclist, motorcyclist, or a pedestrian and suffered personal injury you have a right to claim compensation. 
• Accidents at Work  – An employer is required to protect the health and safety of an employee, but sometimes accidents can happen where a system of work is unsafe, such as inadequate training, or failure to maintain safe premises, tools or equipment. 
• Accidents in Public Places – If you have been injured in an accident caused by the failure of the occupiers of premises, such as supermarkets or shops, or the owners of land to maintain their premises or footpaths you could have grounds for a personal injury claim.   
• Sporting Accidents .- In many cases injuries are an inevitable part of playing sports, but you could be entitled to compensation should an injury be caused by someone else’s negligence, or if they have acted outside the rules of the sport.   
• Fatal Accidents Claims -The death of a loved one is devastating, causing emotional trauma and, in many cases, serious financial consequences. Bringing a fatal accident claim cannot ease the sense of loss, but it can help bring financial security for the future.  
• Clinical Negligence Claims – Not all unsatisfactory medical outcomes are as result of negligence, but if it can be proved that the treatment you received fell below a reasonable standard of care that caused you to suffer the injury you could have grounds for a claim.       

Making your claim

We have the experience and expertise to help you claim the compensation to which you are entitled. If you have been involved in an accident that was not your fault and you wish to make a claim, or if you are unsure of your rights, call or email us and we will be happy to discuss the particular circumstances of your case, including funding options.
