INJURY COMPENSATION CLAIMS 

If you have suffered an injury and want advice about bringing a  compensation claim, or an accident or industrial disease claim, we offer a FREE CONFIDENTIAL CHATLINE ON OUR INJURY PAGES  and a no-obligation initial consultation which is also FREE or  which is likley to be paid by the other side if we agree to act for you and win. If we decide not to act for you we will not charge you for the investigation work carried out and this will include the initial meeting  since most  injury claims are funded by no win no fee. If you are an uninsured defendant and a claim is being brought against you we can agree special terms to assist you with paying the costs and the compensation. We have over 25 years experience in this area of work so call us direct for your no obligation consultation.

WARNING  FOR CLIENTS WITH PERSONAL INJURY COMPENSATION CLAIMS:-

The Government has stated its firm intention to alter the no win no fee scheme soon by requiring claimants to pay up to 25% of their compensation in costs when using no win no fee agreements, so  avoid losing up to a quarter of your compensation  -  instruct us now before it is too late!!!
