Here to help when you have a road traffic accident claim

We're independently recognised for our national expertise, and regularly achieve outstanding results for clients injured in serious road traffic accidents.

  • Serious injuries

    Unfortunately, road traffic accidents often cause catastrophic and life changing injuries. We specialise in succeeding with high value claims and we are experienced in putting in place a team around our clients to provide the necessary support and rehabilitation at an early stage. Find out more about spinal injury claims, head injury claims and amputation claims.

  • Long-term conditions

    As an accident victim you may suffer both physical and mental problems that affect your life. Even seemingly minor injuries, such as whiplash, can leave you with long-term neck and back problems, or lead to more serious conditions such as chronic pain or CRPS.

  • Fatal road accidents

    If you’re affected by the death of a loved one, it can turn your world upside down. By instructing our experts you can be confident that you will be supported and your claim will be dealt with sympathetically.

Inquest support for a death involving a road traffic collision
When a loved one has been killed in a road traffic accident you will want to understand how it happened and to ensure it doesn’t happen to anyone else
Accident at work claims
If you have suffered an accident at work you may be worried about more than your health. You will be worried about the effect on your income and your family, and want to obtain compensation at the earliest opportunity. That’s where we come in.
Animal injury claims
If you have been injured by an animal, our team of specialist animal accident solicitors are here to help you. The law is complex, and many lawyers brush off animal accidents as ‘just one of those things.’ But not us.
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) claims
CRPS compensation claims are often complex, and not many lawyers understand the condition – or have even heard of it. We have a team of CRPS specialists, who understand what you’re going through and will treat your situation with sensitivity and empathy.
Chronic pain claims
You’ll know chronic pain can affect every area of your life. Doctors, insurance companies, employers and even lawyers, may misunderstand your condition. Getting specialist legal advice for a chronic pain claim is therefore essential.
Cycling accident claims
If you have been injured whilst cycling, we can provide specialist legal advice to get you the compensation you deserve. Our team of specialists are all cyclists and bring that passion and insight to your compensation claim following an accident that was not your fault.
Fatal injury claims
If you’ve lost a loved one it will undoubtedly be a very distressing time for you and your family. This is especially the case if you believe the death occurred as a result of an accident or due to substandard care.
Holiday accident claims
If you, or a family member, have had an accident whilst abroad, you may be entitled to claim compensation. Our specialist travel and foreign claims team can help you to understand what you are entitled to claim in compensation.

As the festive season approaches, awareness of the risks of drink driving come to the forefront of our minds, not least due to an increase in adverts highlighting how, if we drink and drive, we may end up arrested, injured or possibly even dead.
