Accidents & Injury
Accidents that result in injuries to the body, wherever and however they occur, often lead to physical pain and discomfort that can vary in severity. Aside from the physical symptoms of an accident, there is also the inconvenience and possible loss of income and quality of life. If the accident and resulting injuries were sustained as a result of negligence or a lack of care by another party, the person injured may be able to claim compensation. For example:
- Accidents in the Workplace
- Accidents on Holiday
- Road Traffic Accidents
- Tripping and Slipping Accidents
- Animal Related injuries
Our personal injury team has a proven track record of advising clients on a range of compensation cases as a result of accidents that have resulted in injury. We can give you a realistic assessment of your case from the outset and practical guidance on how to proceed.
The ongoing welfare of our clients does not always stop after a case has been settled. For example, after finding adapted accommodation for a client we work closely with our residential property team to ensure that the process of purchasing the property runs as smoothly as possible. In addition, we can draft and review a Will or help to ensure that your financial position is not compromised, as a result of an award, by advising on Special Needs Trusts. In cases involving severe injuries, our solicitors are often appointed by the Court of Protection to act as Receiver to manage the financial affairs of clients who are no longer capable of doing so themselves.
