If I have had an injury how do I know if I have a claim?
If you have had an accident in the last three years that was not your fault and you have suffered an injury, then you are likely to have a claim and you should contact us.

If the claim was more than 3 years ago or even if the accident was partly your own fault you may still have a claim.

It is our job to establish if your injury is caused by someone’s negligence, breach of statutory duty or breach of health and safety regulations.

Accidents at work and injuries on the road in car accidents are the most common claims we encounter. Bear in mind that compensation can be recovered even if the other driver is uninsured or untraced and even if your employer has gone into liquidation.

Injuries at work are not always apparent and can take time to show themselves - such as repetitive strain injury (RSI) and recognised industrial diseases such as vibration white finger (VWF) and industrial deafness.

We also act for people who have been injured outside England and Wales - especially when on a package holiday - where English law allows injured people to claim in England against the Tour Operator even though the accident happened abroad.

We also act for people who have been injured in shops; who have tripped on pavements or who have been assaulted.

If you are not sure you should contact us. We do not receive any fees if you are not successful so we will not pursue your claim if it is not on solid legal ground!

What can I do if I am not happy with my appointed Solicitor?
We act for many clients who have moved their cases to us as they were unhappy with the work being done for them elsewhere.

An injured person has an absolute right to choose their own solicitor. If anyone tells you different they are wrong.

If a solicitor or someone on their behalf tries to stop you choosing who you want to act for you then the solicitor is in breach of the professional rules.

“A solicitor shall not do anything in the course of practising as a solicitor, or permit another person to do anything on his or her behalf, which compromises or impairs or is likely to compromise or impair any of the following:

…(b) a person’s freedom to instruct a solicitor of his or her choice:”
