We specialise in:
Road Traffic Accidents
Whether you’re a driver, passenger, or pedestrian, if you’ve been involved in a road traffic accident, we can help. You will benefit from having a local experienced solicitor who will evaluate your case and work to secure compensation for any injuries, medical expenses, loss of earnings or other out of pocket expenses you have endured. We will also recover any insurance excess, or hire vehicle charges you have paid.
Accidents at Work
Medical Negligence
When medical care falls below expected standards, it can cause life changing injury and impact not only to you, but your whole family. You will benefit from our network of medical experts across the UK to ensure you obtain the best expert evidence to detail any negligent treatment you received. We will ensure you get the right compensation, not only for your injuries, but also for your future care needs.
Hearing Loss
We have successfully represented many clients in securing compensation for suffering hearing loss because of their employment. If you believe that you have suffered damage to your hearing, by way of hearing loss or tinnitus, then please contact us to get your claim started.
Asbestos Claims
If you have been exposed to asbestos during your working life and have now been diagnosed with an asbestos related illness, you may be entitled to compensation. We have expertise in tracing historic records to obtain details of previous employers, and their insurers. So, no matter how long ago your exposure to asbestos occurred, we can help.
Landlord and Tenant disputes
We represent clients who are experiencing tenancy disputes. This is often in relation to rent arrears but can also be in respect of breaches of tenancy terms. Please contact us to discuss your circumstances.
If you are a landlord, you can also benefit from our expert advice on ensuring you are meeting the current legal requirements, and to have a detailed tenancy agreement in place that will help protect your future interests should a problem arise.
Property Disputes
We can advise and represent you in respect of property disputes, whether that is an ownership, trespass or boundary dispute. We can carry out in-house Land Searches and arrange for the disputed property to be professionally mapped if required.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Slips and trips in public places, footpaths, or private premises can lead to serious injuries. We can help you claim for any injury caused by unsafe environments, such as wet floors or uneven surfaces. It is vital if you have suffered an injury of this nature to seek immediate legal advise as often an early inspection of the area will be required.
