How we help

After an injury, most people are dealing with pain, lost income, and an insurer who has been in this position a thousand times before and you have not. The imbalance is the problem. Our job is to correct it — to establish what happened, prove the loss properly, and put a value on the claim that reflects the whole of it, not just the medical bills.

We tell you at the first meeting whether you have a claim worth bringing. If you do not, we will say so; a claim pursued without merit costs you time and money you cannot spare.

Road traffic collisions

Drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians — including claims against uninsured drivers.

Accidents at work

Unsafe systems of work, defective equipment, inadequate training, and employer liability.

Public and occupiers’ liability

Injuries in shops, hotels, restaurants, and public spaces where premises were not kept reasonably safe.

Fatal accidents

Dependency and bereavement claims brought by the family of someone killed through another’s negligence.

Insurance disputes

Where cover is refused, an offer is inadequate, or an insurer delays without good reason.

Loss assessment

Quantifying lost earnings, future care, and the effect on your life — the part most claimants undervalue.

Time limits end claims, and they run from the injury

Personal injury claims are subject to limitation periods, and they run from the date of the accident rather than from the date you decide to do something about it. A claim that is unanswerable on its facts can be worth nothing at all if it is brought out of time.

The practical consequence is simple: take advice early even if you are undecided. An initial conversation costs you nothing but an hour and preserves every option. Waiting until you have recovered enough to think about it is exactly how good claims are lost.

What to prepare

  • The date, time, and place of the accident, and how it happened in your own words.
  • Photographs of the scene, the vehicle, the hazard, or your injuries if you have them.
  • The police report reference, if the police attended.
  • Names and contact details of any witnesses.
  • All medical records and receipts — hospital, doctor, physiotherapy, prescriptions, travel to appointments.
  • Evidence of lost income: payslips, a letter from your employer, or accounts if self-employed.
  • Every letter, email, or call log from any insurer.

Do not settle before you understand the injury

Insurers often make an early offer, and it can feel like a relief. But an early offer is made before anyone knows how well you will recover, and a settlement is final — you cannot reopen it if the injury turns out to be lasting. We would rather you called us before accepting anything than after.
