You are able to claim for any financial loss which can be proven to have been suffered as a result of the accident. Our team of Personal Injury experts will ensure that if successful, in addition to damages for pain, suffering and loss of amenity you will also be compensated for all reasonably incurred financial losses.
These can be immediate or long-term financial losses. They include but are not limited to claims for any loss of earnings whether post or future, treatment and rehabilitation costs including physiotherapy or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), the cost of care and assistance provided, decorating or DIY costs, the loss of enjoyment of pre-booked holidays, damaged items including clothing, or lost fees paid in advance for services such as driving lessons or gym memberships or courses.
We aim to make the Personal Injury claims process as simple and straightforward as possible, whilst providing you and your family with practical support and advice at what can be a difficult time. We understand that in addition to the obvious physical pain, it can be an emotionally difficult time whilst attempting to recover from an injury.

There are two elements to the costs of a property transaction – the fees we charge for doing the work and the payments we have to make in order to carry out the transaction for you.
Our fees, and the payments we make on your behalf, will depend upon the value of the property, the nature of the transaction and where the property is located. We will always make sure that you are fully aware of all of the charges that apply.
Our team will always work hard to ensure that your property transaction takes no longer than is absolutely necessary. However, the length of time may depend upon factors outside of your or our control.
The average process takes between 8-12 weeks. Sometimes, if it is a simple transaction without a long chain of related transactions then it might be quicker. however, if there are lots of parties involved and a long chain of transactions, it might take longer.
For example, if you are a first time buyer, purchasing a new build property with a mortgage that has been agreed, it could take 8-10 weeks. However, if you are buying and selling a property and those to whom you are selling have not had a mortgage approved or those from whom your buying have problems with their related transaction then it can take considerably longer. This may also be reflected in the price that we need to charge – especially if substantial negotiations are involved.
We will always make sure that you are kept fully up-to-date with the likely time-scale.
Our specialist team of lawyers and support staff have, between them, many years of conveyancing experience and they are experts in delivering high-quality work in all matters relating to property.
Irrespective of who works on your matter, you will receive the same high level of service, care and experience – whatever the transaction.
Understanding local areas and having good relationships with local estate agents can make a big difference to transactions whether you are buying or selling a property. We are familiar with many of the central roads around west Derby such as roads surrounding Queens Drive, Muirhead Avenue, and Eaton Road. Our experienced and highly skilled conveyancing solicitor Lucy Wilde would be happy to assist you with your conveyancing enquiry.

From the moment you turn 18 years of age and buy your first home, from the day you become a parent, from the moment you enter into a long term relationship, from the day you marry, from the time you need to plan for your children’s university fees, from the moment you decide to retire, whenever health issues threaten to affect your ability to manage your affairs, throughout the decades of your retirement and eventually following your ultimate death and the need to then ‘finalise’ your affairs and distribute to beneficiaries….the Private Client Department of Gregory Abrams Davidson Solicitors are able to advise and offer constructive solutions to ensure at all times that any of the aforementioned issues are appropriately covered by the appropriate and relevant legal paperwork.
The Private Client Department has a ‘title’ that does not necessarily shout out ‘it does what it says on the tin’. Some firms use specific terms like ‘Elder Law’ or ‘Probate Administration’. The former however suggests that only elderly people need to approach our department and the later appears to suggest that you need to be dead before Gregory Abrams Davidson Solicitors should become involved with you and your family.
Nothing can be further from the truth.
In fact, throughout everyone’s life, specific events will occur to an individual when legal protection for both them and for the benefit of their loved ones is essential. As people’s financial affairs alter and their relationships develop and change for the better and worse, attention to the multitude of over-lapping disciplines and legal issues need to be constantly addressed, reviewed and often updated. The Department is highly experienced and qualified to assist with numerous issues that will be relevant from time to tie throughout your life, including:
Ensuring that your estate passes in the most tax efficient manner to your loved ones and ensuring by implication that it does not inadvertently pass to long lost and distant relatives under the Intestacy Rules (applicable when you die without a Will). A Will also guarantees that the right person is appointed to actually administer the estate (the ‘Executor’) and can provide instructions in respect of funeral wishes and ensure the appointment of a Guardian for minor children. Outright gifts may not be desirable and Will Trusts can be established to provide for an individual’s benefit during their lifetime (essential for a vulnerable beneficiary) and thereafter to longstop beneficiaries who do not need ‘protection from themselves’. Likewise, the technical wording required to ensure the Will passes the correct asset to the correct beneficiary means ‘home made’ wills are a ‘cheap and dangerous’ solution that will inevitably cost your estate and family considerable heartache and expense in attempting to rectify drafting errors. Whilst current Inheritance Tax rates mean that many married couples will only pay tax if their estate is valued over £1 million (from the 2020/21 tax year) properly drafted wills and asset restructuring upon the first death of a married couple can provide an excellent opportunity to ring fence 50+% of the estate against care home fees.
Whilst death is an inevitable event everyone will ultimately face, loss of capacity either through accident or illness is more of a ‘lottery’. Public awareness of dementia is at an all-time high. There are few people however who have not been touched personally by this problem either due to elderly parents or a personal medical diagnosis that means a future loss of capacity is potentially around the corner. LPA’s are like a bricks and mortar building insurance policy. You place the latter in place in case your house were to burn to the ground. You should have an LPA in place in case you lose capacity. The LPA enables you to delegate to and appoint Attorneys who can manage your Financial and Health affairs in accordance with your express wishes and directions and at all times in your ‘best interest’. Don’t leave it too late that your family is attending our office to advise you have been placed in a care home with dementia and could they organise an LPA to sell the house and pay your fees – by this time, you will have almost certainly ‘missed the boat’ and without capacity the only option will be for the family to pursue the expensive and long winded Court of Protection application for the appointment of a Deputy over your financial affairs.
Often considered the province of MP’s and Non-Domiciled Tax Exile’s, Trusts can be an excellent way of passing wealth to family in a structured, controlled and tax efficient manner. The Trust can be a Bare Trust, a Life Interest Trust, a Discretionary Trust or a Personal Injury Trust (there are in fact numerous other trusts and often hybrid trusts that take a little for one or other of the above mentioned ‘common’ trusts). Be it a property purchase by an unmarried couple wishing to regulate their ownership and unequal contributions to the purchase price, a parent wishing to provide an income to a vulnerable child with the ultimate transfer of capital wealth to grandchildren upon the child’s eventual death or the ‘ring-fencing’ of medical negligence and personal injury damages from any future means testing by the DWP or Local Authority, the Trust mechanism may be the practical solution to the problem voiced by a client.
Sadly, applications to the Court of Protection for the appointment of a Deputy are a direct consequence of a person’s failure to put their affairs in order when they had capacity by making a Lasting Power of Attorney. Unfortunately, just as people are hesitant to make a Will, a general reluctance exists to anticipate that lack of capacity may one day be an issue that should be addressed when perfectly fit and well. However, if you faced with a relative that can no longer manage their affairs and you need to access their finances to pay bills, sell a house and organise care home contracts, then Gregory Abrams Davidson Solicitors can navigate you through the entire Court of Protection process form the beginning, in obtaining the correct medical report, to the ultimate issue of the order appointing you as Deputy. Thereafter, we are able to provide ongoing services in the form of ‘ad hoc’ applications to make tax-efficient gifts, replace Trustees on co-owned property and were appropriate consider Statutory Wills to ensure any old Will is brought up to date (if applicable) or to have one written when none exists (imperative if the ‘right’ beneficiary would not inherit under the Intestacy Rules e.g. a long term partner that is not recognised by the law as a beneficiary unless specifically named as such within a Will)
Eventually, death creeps up upon us all. The deceased’s financial affairs in the form of assets held and any liabilities existing need to be ‘tidied up’. Taxes in the form of outstanding lifetime Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax need to be cleared and any Inheritance Tax arising upon death needs to be calculated and paid. The terms of a Will or if none exists the Intestacy Rules needs to be reviewed and applied to determine the correct beneficiaries and the inheritance to be received. Trusts for minor beneficiaries and those inheriting under conditions need to be run and ultimate distribution made once final estate accounts have been prepared and approved by the Executors. Very simple administrations may see Gregory Abrams Davidson Solicitors being instructed solely to complete the relevant IHT205 or IHT400 Tax Return and prepare and submit the relevant probate application to the Probate Court upon a fixed fee basis. More complex estates (either due to the number of beneficiaries, the conditions attaching to the gifts, the different tax status of various beneficiaries, disagreements amongst beneficiaries upon how matters should be progressed or the value of the estate) will see Gregory Abrams Davidson Solicitors undertaking all relevant aspects of the administration from beginning to final distribution within our transparent and clear charging structure.

Disputes happen in life. Most disputes can be resolved by agreement between the parties without any need for lawyers to be involved, but for those disputes where the parties cannot agree to settle, where the issues require legal assistance, or for those disputes which may go to court, you’ll want us on your side.
Our litigation team are dedicated to dispute resolution. Litigation is an expensive and time-consuming process for everyone involved. Litigation carries risk, and it can be overwhelming, absorbing your time and resources that you could be better used elsewhere.
Litigation is generally not the best way to resolve a dispute unless it is the only way to do so, so a lot of our time is spent assisting you to find practical and cost-effective ways to resolve your dispute and enable you to move on with your life.
Where litigation is unavoidable, our dedicated lawyers will assist you to take control of the process, manage risk, and will provide clear and practical advice on the issues.
We will give you a clear and honest view of the merits of your case, and of the risks. We will give you clear advice about the costs you will be likely to incur for each stage of your case, and whether you may be able to recover your costs from your opponent.
Where all you need is an initial assessment of your case or some guidance as to what to do next, then in most cases, our litigation lawyers will be happy to provide initial advice for a fixed fee. Call us today on 0808 164 0698 or complete our online contact form for specialist advice.
