Accident, Injury, and Illness Claims

An accident can turn your world upside down. Without warning and through no fault of your own you can suffer a sudden injury, leaving you struggling to cope. Money worries, job security and child care are just some of the problems you can be unexpectedly confronted with. It is therefore important to appoint an experienced and specialist firm of solicitors who can manage all these issues on your behalf while you concentrate on getting better.

How we can help with your accident claim.

Our accident and injury claim team is recommended by the influential and totally independent guide to the best law firms, the Legal 500. So when you choose us to deal with your case you will have the peace of mind of knowing that your case is in safe hands.

The team is led by multi award-winning solicitor, James McNally, who was named DASLS Solicitor of the Year 2024.

James and his team of specialist personal injury lawyers have many years of dedicated experience between them and you can rely on them to take away the stress of pursuing a legal action. They will press your opponent for an admission of fault, calculate your financial losses, prepare witness statements and make sure you have access to the best medical experts to support your case. Everything will be done to ensure you recover the compensation you deserve.

Our experience.

We have dealt with thousands of accident claims, recovering many millions of pounds in compensation along the way. This means there aren’t many legal problems that we won’t have previously encountered and found a solution to.

The aggressive, ‘bully-boy’ tactics used by some insurance companies will not deflect us. Our job is to ensure that our clients get the maximum compensation they are entitled to, and that is exactly what we promise to do.

Why we are different from other accident claim companies.

We are a firm of solicitors – unlike many of the unregulated accident claims companies that advertise in this sector.

We are big enough to provide a specialist service, but small enough to care. Unlike the mega-large ‘factory firms’, we look after our clients’ individual needs, providing them with a tailored personal service.

We work on a No Win – No Fee basis. This means that if we do not win the case, we won’t be paid a penny. Our clients therefore know that if they lose they won’t end up facing a legal bill. And it gives us an obvious incentive to make every effort to win your case.

We will pay any expenses that arise during the case, such as the cost of a medical report or court fees. It is not unusual for these fees to run into hundreds, if not thousands of pounds, so that is one less thing for you to worry about.
