We specialise in a broad range of personal injury claims. Whether you have been injured at work, tripped or fallen while out in public or have been in a cycling or motorbike accident, we have a legal expert who will deal with your claim.

We can advise you on the full extent of the type of claim that you can make. Examples include lost earnings, the costs involved with medical treatment, the costs of care and assistance if friends or family have had to help you following the accident, claims for future lost earnings if your ability to work has been affected in the long-term as a result of the accident and compensation for the pain and suffering that you have suffered.

If you have been involved in an accident that could have been avoided and you have suffered as a result, why should you not claim for the pain and suffering and the financial losses that you have suffered? As long as there is an insurer in place to meet your claim, we would always advise you that morally you are
perfectly entitled to make a claim.

Any individual who has been involved in an accident that was not their fault is entitled to bring a claim. If the person injured is a child, then a parent can bring the claim on their behalf. If the injured person does not have the mental capacity to be able to bring a claim, a family member can do so on their behalf.

Generally, you have three years from the date of the accident in which to bring a claim. If you have not issued Court proceedings by the third anniversary of the accident date, it is likely that you will be prevented from pursuing a claim. There are exceptions to this rule in cases where an individual did not realise that
they were able to bring a claim, in which case the three -year period would only start to run from the date of knowledge, but those cases are exceptional, and the safest course of action is always to issue Court proceedings within the three -year time period. If in doubt, take legal advice at the earliest possible
opportunity.

If the injured party is a child, the three -year limitation period does not start to run until their 18th birthday so the child has until the age of 21 in which to bring a claim.

We will arrange for you to be medically examined by one of our independent medical experts. Once we have the medical report available that details all of the injuries that you have suffered, we will then be able to advise you on the likely level of compensation that you will recover. We are bound by the Judicial College Guidelines which sets out brackets of damages that are awarded for particular types of injuries.

We also look at previous cases that have been determined by the Courts and awards granted for similar injuries to the ones you have suffered. By combining these previous cases and the Judicial College Guidelines, we are able to advise you on the financial value of your claim. Often, in cases involving more serious injuries, the heads of claim such as future lost earnings, future care, medical treatment and accommodation costs, can outweigh the compensation awarded for the injury itself. Provided we have medical evidence to support the fact that a client is unable to work in the future, we can often make a significant claim for future lost earnings.

Once all of the medical evidence is to hand, we will be able to advise you in detail how much your claim is worth.

We were formed in 1999 and have helped thousands of clients over the years. The fact that we have continued successfully for so many years is a reflection of the service that we provide and the fact that many of our clients are recommended to us by existing clients who are happy with the service that we provided. We have a strong reputation with insurers and defendant solicitors who know that we will pursue cases fearlessly for our clients and will never back down. We specialise in personal injury claims and have built up huge experience over the years. If you look at our Trust Pilot reviews, you can see for yourself what our clients say.

As long as we think that your case has a good chance of being successful, we will happily run your case on a “no win, no fee” basis. If your case is successful, we generally charge a 25% success fee, but this only becomes payable as and when we recover compensation for you. We only deduct compensation from the personal injury element of your claim and not in respect of any other losses that you have suffered. For example, if your injury claim is valued at £10,000.00 but you have also had lost earnings of £15,000.00 and medical expenses of £5,000.00, the 25% would not be deducted from the full award of £30,000.00 and would only be deducted from the injury element of your claim of £10,000.00. In that example, our success fee would be £2,500.00 and you would keep £27,500.00 of the award yourself.

We always advise clients at the outset of a claim that it would be advisable to take our legal expenses insurance cover. Although there is no obligation to meet our legal costs if your case is unsuccessful, to avoid the risk of you having to meet any of your opponent’s legal costs, a legal expenses policy is always advisable. The cost of the policy (which is paid to an insurer and not to us) is generally around £300.00 but we can advise you in more detail when we discuss your case with you. The cost of the insurance policy is only ever payable at the conclusion of your case and if your case is successful. If your case is unsuccessful, you do not have to pay any insurance premium and you do not have to meet any of our legal costs.

We are based in Manchester but we have clients all over the country. We are always happy to visit you if you would like to discuss your case with us in person. Every week we travel far and wide to meet with our clients.

If you were unlucky enough to have been involved in an accident with an uninsured driver or a driver who fled the scene and cannot be traced, you are still entitled to claim through an organisation called the Motor Insurers Bureau. This is a body that was set up to meet compensation claims for individuals who have been injured by an uninsured or untraced driver. We regularly deal with these types of cases and are happy to do so on a “no win, no fee” basis.

Yes, even if you have been to your GP or a Hospital to undergo treatment, we will still need to have you examined by a medical expert to have a report prepared. This is referred to as a “medico-legal report”. Any medical reports that are used for the purposes of a compensation claim cannot be prepared by a GP
or Doctor that has already treated you. The reason for this is that the Courts do not view these doctors as being independent and insist on any reports that are prepared are carried out by an independent doctor who has not been involved in any of your treatment or rehabilitation.

Sometimes, accidents can happen, and it is not the fault of an individual or organisation. If, however, that accident could have been avoided by that person or organisation taking more care for your safety, then you should be entitled to claim.

If the accident at work could have been avoided by your employer or one of your work colleagues taking more care, then the chances are that you should be able to claim for compensation. If your employer took all reasonable steps to avoid accidents happening and can show that they have complied with all the health
and safety requirements that in place, it may be that you cannot necessarily bring a claim. In order to bring a claim, we have to be able to show that an employer or work colleague has been negligent in some way.

If you contact us to discuss the accident circumstances, we will be able to advise you in more detail.

The more evidence that we have to support your injury claim, the better. So, if you can take photographs of the injuries that you have suffered, this will always help in proving your claim.

If you have suffered an injury that is a result of someone else’s negligence, it is likely that you will have a genuine claim. If you contact us to discuss the accident circumstances, we will be able to advise you in more detail. If you only have very minor symptoms (for example, that only lasted for a day or two) it may be that we advise you that it does not make economic sense to pursue a claim. Likewise, if we do not believe that there has been any negligence on the part of, for example, your employer or the Local Authority, we will advise you of this as soon as we have all of the facts available. Sometimes, although we can give you some initial advice when we have spoken to you, it may only be when we have seen, for example, all of the Risk Assessments and Health and Safety documents that an employer has, before we can advise you in more detail. As soon as we have all of the relevant information to hand, we can make a more informed decision and advise you of whether we think you have a case.

If liability is accepted at an early stage by the Defendant Insurer and your injuries clear up quite quickly, cases can be concluded in a matter of months. If you’re injuries are more serious and you are going to take a long time to recover, some cases can take longer to resolve. For more serious injury cases, we fan only settle your claim once we have a clear prognosis from a doctor. On occasions, a doctor may carry out an initial examination in the months after the accident and decide that they cannot given an accurate or long-term prognosis until your injuries have had time to settle down. In those cases, we arrange a re-examination at the point the doctor asks to see you again. It is usually only in the most serious cases where it can take longer to resolve. If you contact us to discuss the nature of the injuries that you have suffered, we will be able to give you a clearer idea of timescales.
