Accidents do happen, and when they do, you need objective legal advice on whether you should pursue a claim against someone else (or your insurance company). We can provide that advice which should be sought as soon as possible whilst witnesses still have the facts firmly in their mind. Claims must go to court if not settled within three years, consequently there is no time to lose in getting things started.

The commonest types of accident that can lead to a successful claim are:
Motor accidents, accidents at work, accidents in unsafe buildings or on defective pavements, accidents resulting from defective products like drugs, electrical goods and toys, and so on, and negligence claims against doctors, dentists, etc.

It is not generally appreciated that many people and organizations have certain statutory obligations and, if they fail to carry those out and someone is injured as a result, that person can claim compensation.
For example, the Highway Authority has a duty to maintain the roads and pavements to a reasonable standard. An employer has to provide a safe system of working for their employees and the occupier of a building has to ensure that it is safe for people to visit.

Injuries arising as a result of a crime of violence may give rise to a claim for compensation against the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority.

The cost of acting for an accident victim and taking proceedings to court can be dealt with under our standard “No win, No fee “ agreement. This may be subject to a small one off insurance premium, but otherwise we will normally take a case on and charge nothing at all if, in the unlikely event, you fail to recover compensation. If you are successful in recovering compensation a pre-agreed success fee will be charged. Usually, both the insurance premium and the success fee can be recovered from the other party to the proceedings.
