Personal Injury Claims
We handle workplace accidents, public liability cases, and catastrophic injuries including brain trauma and amputations. Our solicitors secure compensation for pain, lost earnings, and medical expenses while providing home or hospital visits for client convenience. With decades of experience, we ensure direct communication with senior solicitors throughout the claims process.
Medical Negligence
Specialising in misdiagnosis, surgical errors, and substandard care claims, our team investigates failures in treatment standards. We pursue compensation for conditions like sepsis, cauda equina syndrome, and GP negligence while arranging expert medical assessments to prove causation. Cases are managed by solicitors with over 25 years' experience in this complex field.
Asbestos Claims
We represent clients with asbestos-related diseases including pleural thickening, asbestosis, and lung cancer. Our solicitors prove employer negligence in historic exposure cases and secure compensation even when companies no longer exist. We handle claims for both sufferers and bereaved families across the North East and nationwide.
Road Traffic Accidents
We help victims of car, motorcycle, and pedestrian accidents recover compensation regardless of fault. Our solicitors work with the Motor Insurers Bureau for uninsured drivers and handle claims for medical treatment costs, lost income, and vehicle damage while ensuring proper evidence collection at accident scenes.
Dental Negligence
We investigate substandard dental treatment including nerve damage, implant failures, and delayed diagnoses. Our solicitors prove negligence by comparing treatment to professional standards and secure compensation for corrective procedures, pain, and financial losses while maintaining direct client communication throughout the legal process.
