Looking for a Personal Injury Lawyer to Help You Make a Claim?

Lawyers typically choose a particular field to work in - for instance family, criminal or tax law. A personal injury lawyer is a compensation claims specialist who represents people hurt in accidents caused by someone else's negligence. They will handle your claim and seek compensation from the party you think is to blame. The cause could be anything.

Injury solicitors help with much more than accidents on the road. Injuries from road traffic accidents form the majority of personal injury claims, but it's a much wider category than you might think. It applies to any instance where someone suffers harm through the negligence of another individual, organisation or entity.

Accidents on the road. This includes injuries to drivers, passengers, cyclists, motorcyclists and their pillion passenger, pedestrians, road runners - even riders on horseback.

Accidents at work. This covers work on-site, off-site, industrial, in the factory, warehouse, on the farm, in the office, with machinery or as a carer. The law covers accident injury wherever you may be working and in whatever capacity.

Slips, trips and falls. From shops, supermarkets and restaurants to public transport, pavements, and steps. Basically, it covers all public premises, environments or spaces whose safe maintenance is someone else's responsibility.

Medical negligence. This is any failure in the duty of care where you are injured or harmed by the action, or inaction, of medical professionals treating you. This could be by your GP, in hospital, by a dentist, optician or while in a care home.
