When an accident has a lasting impact.
Personal Injury
Accidents can occur in a wide range of circumstances. In some cases, the effects are relatively short-term. In others, the consequences can be more significant and long-lasting, affecting health, work and day-to-day life.

What we do
Personal Injury Claims
Where an injury has been caused by the negligence of another party, it may be appropriate to investigate whether there are grounds to pursue a claim. Many clients come to us following an incident that has disrupted their routine, affected their ability to work, or resulted in ongoing symptoms that were not expected.

Understanding your concerns
Personal injury claims often arise where there are questions about whether reasonable steps were taken to prevent harm. Concerns may include:
road traffic accidents caused by another driver
unsafe working conditions leading to injury
accidents in public places where hazards were not addressed
failures by those responsible for safety to take appropriate precautions
In each case, the issue is whether a duty of care was owed and whether that duty was breached.
Types of cases we handle
We act in a range of serious personal injury claims, including:
road traffic accidents, including claims involving uninsured or untraced drivers through the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB)
employer's liability claims
public liability claims, including slips, trips and falls
accidents abroad arising from package holidays
Each case is assessed on its own facts and requires careful consideration of both liability and the extent of the injury.
Claims involving uninsured or untraced drivers (MIB)
In some cases, the party responsible for an accident may be uninsured or cannot be identified. In these circumstances, a claim may still be pursued through the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB). These claims are subject to specific procedures and requirements, and it is important that they are handled correctly from the outset.
A practical and measured approach
Our approach is the same across all cases: careful assessment, clear advice, and a focus on achieving the right outcome.
We bring the same depth of care and experience to every personal injury matter we handle. Our focus is on achieving quality outcomes and ensuring that clients receive clear, considered advice at every stage; whatever the nature or complexity of the case.
Assessing the claim
Establishing liability
In personal injury claims, it is necessary to establish that:
a duty of care was owed
that duty was breached
the breach caused or contributed to the injury
This may involve considering:
how the accident occurred
whether appropriate safety measures were in place
whether the risks were foreseeable
whether reasonable steps were taken to prevent harm
Evidence may include witness accounts, accident reports, photographs and other supporting material.
Causation and impact
Even where fault can be established, it must also be shown that the injury resulted from the incident. This may involve:
medical evidence confirming the nature and extent of the injury
assessment of how the injury has affected day-to-day life
consideration of whether symptoms are ongoing or long-term
In more serious cases, this may include the impact on work, independence and future plans.
Helping you get the answers and compensation you deserve
Compensation and outcomes
Where a personal injury claim is successful, compensation may be recoverable for:
pain, suffering and loss of amenity
financial losses, including loss of earnings
medical treatment and rehabilitation
care and support needs
future losses, where applicable
The level of compensation will depend on the individual circumstances of the case. Our role is to ensure that any claim reflects the full impact of the injury and its consequences.
How we handle our cases
A practical and measured approach
Personal injury claims require careful assessment of both liability and the impact of the injury. Our approach is to provide clear, straightforward advice based on the available evidence.
Not every case will proceed. Where the evidence does not support a claim, you will be advised of that at an early stage.
Our focus is on achieving quality outcomes and ensuring that clients receive clear, considered advice at every stage; whatever the nature or complexity of the case.

Time limits for bringing a claim
In most cases, a claim must be brought within three years. However, this is not always straightforward.
In medical negligence cases, the time limit may run from:
the date of the incident; or
the date on which you first became aware that something may have gone wrong
Different rules apply in cases involving:
children
individuals who lack capacity
If there is any uncertainty about your time limit, it is important to seek advice at an early stage. Failing to settle or issue proceedings within the relevant limitation period may result in your claim becoming statute barred, meaning you lose the right to pursue it entirely.
It is also important to be aware that we may not always be able to accept instructions where insufficient time remains within the limitation period to investigate and prepare a claim properly.
