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.
Road traffic accident claims
Road traffic accidents are all too common. Whether you’ve been injured as a driver, pedestrian, passenger, motorcyclist, rider or cyclist, you may be entitled to compensation to help you get your life back on track
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.
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.
Injury
We understand how traumatic and life changing an injury can be, so place a team around every client to ensure you get the care, recovery, and compensation you deserve.

"To be warm, understanding and supportive at the same time as being cool, objective and incisive is a rare special blend."
