Services
Personal Injury Claims
Specialist legal representation for injury victims seeking compensation through 'no win, no fee' agreements. Our solicitors handle all evidence collection, insurer negotiations, and court proceedings while maintaining transparent communication throughout the claims process. Clients benefit from our 88-year track record in securing maximum settlements.
Workplace Accident Claims
Legal support for employees injured through employer negligence, covering factory accidents, office injuries, and industrial diseases. We prove duty of care breaches while managing medical evidence and calculating compensation for lost earnings and future care needs under strict regulatory guidelines.
Road Traffic Accident Claims
Comprehensive claims management for road accident victims, including uninsured driver cases and foreign accidents. Our solicitors access the Motor Insurers Database, coordinate medical reports, and negotiate settlements while explaining legal rights under the Ministry of Justice portal system.
Slip and Fall Claims
Specialist representation for public space injury claims requiring site inspections and maintenance record analysis. We handle cases without witnesses by using photographic evidence and accident book entries while explaining liability thresholds under the Occupiers' Liability Act 1957.
Criminal Injury Claims
Legal assistance for assault victims seeking compensation through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority. Our solicitors prepare detailed statements, coordinate police evidence submission, and explain eligibility criteria for unprovoked attack cases occurring in public or private settings.
Questions
How long do I have to make a personal injury claim?
Most claims must be made within 3 years of the accident date, though exceptions apply for children and industrial diseases.
What if my workplace accident happened years ago?
We can still investigate historic claims, particularly for industrial diseases with delayed symptoms like hearing loss or asbestos exposure.
How much compensation could I receive for a road accident?
Compensation varies by injury severity, but our calculator provides rough estimates ranging from £1,000 for minor injuries to over £100,000 for serious cases.
What happens if the other driver was uninsured?
We can still pursue claims through the Motor Insurers Bureau for uninsured or untraced drivers under the 'no win, no fee' agreement.
Do I need witnesses for a slip and fall claim?
While helpful, witness evidence isn't essential. We can use CCTV footage, accident reports, and medical records to support your case.

We have used Alkers on the two occasions when the Missus was unfortunately involved in car accidents. They are the only solicitors I know that don't take a fee out of YOUR cash award, instead, they pursue the other side for their costs! They are very professional, and always kept us up to date with the proceedings. I can't recommend them enough.

I'm not normally given to posting testimonials (even though I scrutinise testimonials and reviews of products or services prior to purchase),so you may understand my experience with Alkers Solicitors has had a strong effect on me. I cannot believe anyone enjoys legal proceedings and as such enters it with feelings of deep foreboding. I am no exception. So, my legal case was made a great deal easier and more pleasurable having Graham Alkers looking after my interests.
Graham was careful to keep me fully informed at every step of the process and giving me his valuable insight whenever I requested
