At Austin Lafferty, we deal with accidents at work, work-related illness, road accidents, public liability cases and much more on a regular basis. Our team of experienced personal injury solicitors have conducted many claims and court cases to win large sums of money for many of our clients. Solatium (called general damages in England) - for the pain and suffering.

A power of attorney is a deed of authority granted by you in favour of a trusted individual who can deal with aspects of your financial/property matters and/or personal welfare. We cannot tell if dementia will creep up, or if we will suffer a stroke, or be in an accident which will leave us unfit mentally or physically to look after our own affairs.

Our team are very experienced in all aspects of road traffic law, and we are available to advise and act from the moment of arrest or caution and charge by the police, through the pleading stage and all hearings and trials in court itself. One of our friendly solicitors specialising in motoring law will be available for a meeting with you at one of our offices.

It is sometimes said we are all worth more dead than alive. For anyone with a job, with a house, with a family, making a will is all but essential. If no will is made, the law provides a scheme of intestate succession which probably suits no-one, and if you leave no family, the government gets your estate.
