 It
is an unfortunate truth that at some time in their lives many
people today will be involved in an accident which is not their
fault. If you have sustained damage, such as physical injuries,
vehicle or property damage or wage loss, which have occurred
due to the negligent actions of another, you may be able to
make a claim.
We act for both plaintiffs and defendants, commercial and
private clients and can advise in relation to Legal Aid where
necessary. In all areas of Litigation our aim is to quickly
obtain an admission of liability and swiftly negotiate settlement.
Sometimes it shall be necessary to issue court proceedings
to obtain a satisfactory result to a claim. Part of our expert
service is to advise when a claim should be settled and when
it should be progressed to court. If necessary we instruct
specialist Barristers and issue proceedings to bring the
case to its proper conclusion.
In Personal Injury cases we commission specialised medical
reports from the appropriate medical experts to allow us
to quantify the level of damages. Some minor personal injury
cases may be settled relatively quickly, while more serious
injuries may take longer to resolve and require more detailed
medical evidence. It is part of our expertise to assess each
case upon its individual merits and progress your claim to
ensure that you receive the maximum compensation with the
minimum distress.
In some instances there may be difficulties in establishing
liability against a third party. We believe that it is part
of our duty to inform clients when their case shall not be
successful. We will not waste our clients’ time or
money pursuing cases that have no merits. We believe that
our clients should feel that they have obtained value for
money throughout a process that can be potentially expensive
if incorrectly handled.
Listed below are examples of the variety of personal injury
claims which we specialise in.
Road Traffic Accidents
We quickly establish contact with the other driver’s
Insurance Company and work closely with them to negotiate
a speedy settlement. If liability is denied or should the
amount of damages be insufficient we shall issue proceedings
in the appropriate court. Part of our service is to ensure
you retain the damages that you recover and that the Insurance
Company meets all your costs and outlays.
Accidents at Work or in Public Places
Accidents can occur at work due to unsafe working conditions
or the carelessness of your colleagues or employees. It is
compulsory for employers to have insurance cover for their
employees and to provide the correct safety equipment and
tools. You may still have a claim even should you feel that
you have contributed to your injuries. It is important that
you seek specialist advise as soon as possible.
Accidents can also occur in public places such as shops;
pubs; restaurants; in the street or whilst on holiday. You
may have a claim if you have sustained an injury which you
feel may have been caused by another party’s negligence.
Unfortunately in today’s “Claim Culture” many
people are unable to differentiate between a negligent action
and an accident. We are able to give a clear indication of
when it shall be advisable to proceed with a claim, thus
ensuring that costs are kept to a minimum at all times.
Professional Negligence
When you instruct a professional to act on your behalf you
are entitled to expect a certain standard of service. Upon
occasions however you may feel that you have not received
a satisfactory standard of care and service from the professional
that you have engaged. We are experienced in all forms of
Professional Negligence including Medical, Dental and Architectural.
We are members of AVMA (Action for Victims of Medical Accidents)
which enables us to instruct a specialist panel of Consultant
Surgeons who give Medical Legal reports for the purposes
of Medical Negligence claims.
In all aspects of litigation we seek to ensure that the
parts responsible for your loss or damage should also discharge
all costs and outlays; ensuring that you keep the full amount
of compensation you receive.
