Personal Injury Services
Our team of expert Personal Injury Solicitors will help establish whether or not you have a valid claim, and the likely amount of compensation you might receive.
We will work with you and medical experts to assess the severity of your injuries and the impact that it has on your life to ensure that you receive the appropriate amount of compensation.
We have a wealth of experience in this area and have obtained substantial awards of compensation for clients who suffered injury as a result of an accident at work.
If you’ve suffered an injury as a result of a road traffic accident, whether as a driver, passenger or pedestrian, then you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injuries and financial losses.
Regardless of how minor your injury may seem you may be able to claim compensation if the accident is wholly or partly the fault of someone else. This may be the other driver, but fault may also be established against the Highway Authority in respect of defects in the road, its layout, or even for their failure to salt or grit the road in adverse weather conditions.
Clinical occurs when a healthcare professional breaches their duty of care to a patient by making a medical mistake that results in injury, complications or suffering.
If you have suffered as a result of negligence from a doctor, dentist or hospital, a medical negligence claim may be the best option for you.
Some examples of what is considered medical negligence are:
- Failed diagnosis
- Wrongly prescribed medication
- Not signing a consent form before treatment
- Delay in treatment resulting in suffering
- Not being warned of risks of a treatment
- Incorrectly performed surgery
- Death due to incorrect/lack of care
We can give you advice as to the prospects of success of your claim, the amount of compensation you may recover and the issues which need to be resolved.
Over the years we have dealt with a variety of claims in respect of injuries suffered in unusual circumstances including those caused by animals, faulty goods or street furniture, as well as trips and slips in the street or in shops and other public places.
There are many people in our society who have suffered sexual, physical or emotional abuse in childhood. Every now and then such cases hit the headlines, but there are many more that are kept hidden or dealt with without publicity.
If you have been the victim of such abuse, you are not alone. Our specialist team have seen hundreds of clients who have been abused in children’s homes, foster care, or even by members of their own family or friends. Many of those people have over the years tried to tell someone about their abuse but their reports have been dismissed or they have not been believed.
We will help you sympathetically but professionally, making the process as pain free as possible, and of course absolute confidentiality is assured.
Over the past years we have obtained substantial awards of compensation for clients who suffered injury as a result of abuse by others, even when the abuse happened some time ago.
For victims of criminal injury, very often their lives are never the same again. No amount of money can make up for the pain and anguish but it might at least go some way to ease the suffering.
If you have been injured as a result of someone else’s criminal act, even if they have not been convicted, you might be able to claim compensation. The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority is a Central Government fund which exists to compensate victims of violent crime.
We will guide you through the procedure and, if necessary, represent you at an appeal hearing to make sure that you recover the compensation you deserve.
There are a number of injuries that will be classed as a serious, catastrophic injury such as:
A serious, catastrophic injury will not only bring a pause in the Claimant’s life activities but will bring changes that forever effect loss of their previous life and commonly will not just affect the Claimant but their family also.
