Personal Injury FAQs:

We will first need to establish the details of your case to assess its validity. From there, we will request details about your accident, including when and where it happened, how it occurred, any witnesses and the injuries you have suffered.
We will also review any medical treatment you have received and check whether you have legal expenses insurance or trade union support.
Once we have gathered medical evidence, we will advise you on the value of your claim and look to negotiate a settlement where possible.

In most cases, no. The vast majority of personal injury cases are settled without court proceedings. If court action is required, we will guide you through the process and ensure you are fully prepared.

The prospect of going to court may be overwhelming, but we will discuss all the options available to you and explain what to expect.

Many of our cases are handled on a “No Win No Fee” basis and this means you will not pay our legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful. If your case is successful, the most you will pay is 25 per cent of the damages received.

If your claim succeeds, most of your legal costs are usually recovered from the other party. If we are acting on a “No Win No Fee” agreement, then you will still only have to pay us a maximum of 25 per cent of your damages.
