Drivers of cars, buses and trains are under a duty to ensure the safety of 
their passengers. If a driver of a car, bus or train causes injury to a 
passenger by their negligent driving then you will be able to recover 
compensation.

Occasionally, a situation will arise whereby there is more than one vehicle      
responsible for the accident and if that is the case then we will bring the      
action against the appropriate parties after fully assessing and determining      
our views on liability. 

Please note the following:-   

Accident not your fault ?

Providing that the accident is clearly not your fault, we will act for you under
the terms of our Conditional Fee Agreement. This will ensure that you 
have no legal costs to pay. These will be recovered in full from the other 
party.

Independence

We are totally independent and will be your Solicitor acting in your 
interest. We believe that it is in your interest to instruct your own Solicitors 
who are independent of insurance companies.

Damages to be Recovered

Please note that we are fully conversant with all heads of damage to 
which you will be entitled and will include the following in the claim:-

•    Damages for personal injury. The value of which will vary on the 
     nature   of the injury and on how long recovery lasts and whether 
     the injury stops  you from working or pursuing other activities. 

•    Loss of earnings of loss of profit if you are self employed. 

•    Any costs that you can reasonably argue that were incurred as a 
     result of the accident. This can include the cost of people assisting 
     you in your day to day living if you were injured and are unable to 
     attend to your normal tasks. 

•    Damages for psychiatric and mental problems caused by the 
     accident. The assessment for this head of damage is complex 
     and you will be fully advised. 

•    Other losses that might be necessary to include such as if you 
     are away from work for a considerable amount of time then this 
     may effect your pension, also you may find that your job 
     prospects are effected. There are a number of technical heads 
     of damage which you will be fully advised of as appropriate.      

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WE CAN ACT FOR YOU ON A 
“NO WIN NO FEE”  BASIS IF WE FEEL THAT YOUR CASE HAS 
A GOOD CHANCE OF SUCCESS. 

This means that we will recover costs from the other party. 

BE WARNED

A lot of accident management companies who claim to have expertise in the 
conduct of personal injury claim are simply selling your claim to Solicitors. 
Often, they will require you sign credit agreements to obtain expensive 
insurance which would not be recoverable from the Defendants and will 
have to come out of your damages. Some companies even make 
administration charges and take a percentage of the damages for dealing 
with the claim. This will not happen with ourselves as we have the experience 
and competence to properly deal with the claim that you make.
