Motor Vehicle Claims
Injured in a Car Accident? If you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident, whether as a driver, passenger, pedestrian, cyclist, or motorbike rider, you may be eligible to claim compensation. This applies if another driver or vehicle owner is partially or entirely at fault. Why Choose Us for Your Compensation Claim? With extensive experience in handling motor vehicle accident claims, we have a strong record of success. However, it’s crucial to act quickly as strict deadlines apply: An Accident Notification form must be lodged within 28 days of the accident to ensure the at-fault driver’s insurer provisionally accepts liability and covers initial medical expenses. A Personal Injury Claim Form must be submitted to the insurer within 6 months of the accident. Failing to meet these deadlines can jeopardise your right to compensation. To protect your interests, speak to one of our solicitors today.

Victims of Crime
A civil claim allows individuals to seek compensation through the courts for injuries and losses caused by deliberate wrongful actions. While the criminal justice system penalises offenders, it does not provide financial restitution to those affected. Civil claims help address this by offering victims a way to recover damages for the harm they have endured. Damages awarded in these cases may cover: - Medical expenses - Costs of care and domestic assistance - Lost income due to inability to work - Emotional and physical suffering In some cases, courts may also award punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar misconduct. Examples of Intentional Torts Include: Assault: Includes both physical acts and threats that cause a reasonable fear of imminent harm. Battery: Intentional physical contact without consent, including punching, groping, or unwarranted medical treatment. Excessive or unreasonable use of force by authorities may also qualify. False Imprisonment: Unlawful restraint against your will, whether by an individual or an authority, such as police, acting without justification.
