Services
Road traffic accidents
We handle all road traffic accident claims including whiplash, vehicle damage, and serious injuries. Our solicitors negotiate with insurers to recover repair costs, medical expenses, and lost earnings. With no win-no fee agreements, we ensure maximum compensation for physical and emotional damages while providing direct legal support throughout the claims process.
Workplace accident claims
Specialising in workplace injury compensation, we represent employees injured through employer negligence. Our solicitors handle slip/trip claims, machinery accidents, and repetitive strain injuries. We secure compensation for medical treatment, rehabilitation, and lost income while ensuring adherence to health and safety regulations through thorough evidence gathering and legal representation.
Cycling accidents
Led by cycling specialist Tom Howarth, our service handles cyclist-motorist collisions and infrastructure-related accidents. We recover costs for bike repairs, medical treatment, and personal injuries while addressing insurance undervaluation of cycling equipment. Our expertise combines legal knowledge with practical cycling experience to challenge liability disputes effectively.
Motorbike accidents
We represent motorcyclists injured through other road users' negligence, addressing common biases against bikers. Our solicitors recover compensation for severe injuries, bike replacement, and lost earnings. With specialist knowledge of motorcycle dynamics, we challenge liability disputes and ensure proper valuation of damaged protective gear and custom equipment.
Public liability claims
Handling accidents in shops, parks, and public spaces, we prove negligence against property owners. Our team secures compensation for trip/fall injuries, including medical costs and lost income. Through evidence analysis like lighting repair records, we demonstrate liability in cases involving inadequate safety measures or hazard warnings.

Report
I could not recommend Tom and HW Solicitors enough. I had a small car accident back in 2018 where my car was written off at the hands of an irresponsible driver, not paying attention to the road. Tom dealt with everything on my behalf, kept me informed and secured me a satisfactory result and pay-out. As fate would have it, in 2020 I then encountered a second, this time much more serious accident by an uninsured, hit and run driver in a stolen vehicle. On top of this I had 4 young children in the car with me. This was obviously quite a traumatic experience but I didn't hesitate to contact Tom

Helpful, professional, caring - just a few words to describe the fantastic service received by HW solicitors. After having my case dropped by a national firm, David negotiated a settlement for me. I would highly recommend them.
