Road traffic accidents

Injuries sustained in road traffic accidents vary from minor injuries to broken bones, post traumatic stress, amputation, whiplash and catastrophic brain and spinal injuries. We understand that each injury results in different problems that require particular solutions and so our team have individual areas of speciality to help them deal with problems relevant to your injury. Sadly, road accidents can also lead to loss of life and if you need help after losing a loved one we are able to offer support with dealing with fatal accident claims, the Coroners Court and the Inquest as well as claims for compensation in respect of your bereavement.

We take the time to understand your situation, clearly explain implications, actions and decisions and are sympathetic and supportive of what you want to achieve.  In addition, we are able to advise on ensuring you do not have to personally pay our firm's costs (e.g. no win no fee and, where possible, legal aid). From the beginning of your claim to its successful conclusion, we believe in keeping you informed, reassured and free from unnecessary worries. We will never persuade you to pursue hopeless claims, charge unexpected or hidden costs or take the bulk of your compensation at the end of the claim.

We understand that following an accident caused by someone else you will need advice on recovering:

Our knowledge and expertise means we can help with some of the more challenging issues that can result from a road traffic accident e.g. accidents abroad, accidents involving foreign vehicles, uninsured/untraced negligent motorists, etc.
 
We act on behalf of car drivers, motorcyclists, passengers, cyclists, pedestrians and other road users in recovering compensation for injuries and financial losses. You will receive expert advice from our helpful staff to ensure your case is efficiently concluded as soon as the evidence allows. We can also assist you in dealing with issues and practicalities that follow an accident, including how to get about whilst your car is off the road, accident repairs, healthcare provision and benefits payments.
