Frequently asked questions
What types of claims do you deal with?
We can represent anyone who has suffered a personal injury and specialise in handling complex cases involving severe, life-changing injuries such as spinal injuries, brain damage or neurological injury, amputation – and fatal injuries.
How do I make a claim?
Start by seeking advice from one of our specialist personal injury solicitors. The initial consultation is free and will help you understand whether your claim is likely to have a positive outcome for you. If the prospects of success are too low we will tell you.
How can I pay for the expenses of my claim?
It’s important to consider how you’re going to pay your legal expenses especially as the cost of pursuing a personal injury claim can be high. However, there are funding options available that could help reduce the expense, such as an existing insurance policy covering claims of this nature or a Conditional Fee Agreement (often called ‘no win no fee’).
Before you embark on your claim, we will talk you through:
- The potential cost of pursuing your personal injury claim.
- What percentage of these costs you might get back.
- What funding options are available to you.
How much compensation could I get?
Every case is different, but here are some examples of compensation awarded to our clients:
- £6.5 million – awarded to a child who suffered brain injuries as a motorbike pillion passenger.
- £5.5 million – awarded to a motorcyclist who suffered a very severe brain injury leading to a need for 24 hour care.
- £500,000 – (maximum allowable by (CICA) Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority) for brain injuries following an assault.
- £240,000 – fatal injury claim for a widow following a motorway accident which caused the tragic death of her husband.
