Members of the firm have acted for individuals in a wide range of claims for personal injury and clinical negligence.
We have expertise in fatal accident claims and catastrophic injury claims. We have acted successfully for Claimants in cases involving traumatic brain injury, catastrophic injury and complex questions of causation and disputed expert evidence.
We provide our clients with support and guidance through what is often a very difficult time by advising our clients at every stage of the litigation process, with thorough, practical and user-friendly advice. We aim to obtain interim payments to assist Claimants financially.
The vast majority of cases are conducted under a Conditional Fee Agreement (No win no fee).
