We specialise in all areas of personal injury law, including:
Road traffic collisions can have a devastating impact on people’s lives and those of their families, particularly serious spinal or brain injuries and fatal accidents. Even less serious injuries can cause a huge amount of pain leading to time off work and difficulty doing day-to-day activities and hobbies. We act for Claimants and their families, including cyclists, pedestrians and horse-riders, to achieve the best outcomes possible.
Breaches of health and safety at work rules can result in serious or even fatal injuries and illness, causing loss of earnings and uncertainty about the future. We are on your side to help you bring a successful claim. Where there is tension with your employer, we work with our Employment law team to help you maintain your relationship with your employer.
Trips and falls when out-and-about are often caused by a failure to maintain, inspect, clean or repair an area and it is easy to underestimate how serious such injuries can be.
We will investigate your case thoroughly and, if your fall is caused by negligence or breach of duty, we will ensure that the party responsible is properly held to account.
Every year, products are sold that are dangerous as a result of faulty manufacturing, design flaws or because of poor workmanship. From food poisoning to exploding batteries, to vehicles catching on fire, the injuries caused by faulty products can be very serious or even fatal. Our team can help.
We understand illnesses caused by someone’s occupation can have a devastating impact upon individuals and their families, particularly if the sufferer has died. We work with medical and forensic experts to fully investigate your case. In fatal cases, we will support you and your family through the coroner’s inquest so you are not facing it alone.
If you are a victim of sexual abuse or assault, we know that taking the first step of contacting a solicitor can be extremely difficult. We will deal with your case with sensitivity at all times. Our team of Solicitors will support you through the claims process and we will be on your side every step of the way.
Accidents caused by animals can be extremely serious, even fatal. We have a proven track record of successful acting for claimants who have suffered injuries caused by animals, ranging from severe scarring due to a dog attack to traumatic brain injury caused by a bolting horse.
We understand the impact of the sudden loss of a loved one. Traumatic brain or spinal injuries mean that the day of the injury is the first day of a struggle that will last the rest of our client’s and their family’s lives. By building a team of appropriate experts, we will do everything possible to ensure security for your future and that you receive the right ongoing support.
