We continue to be the leading Personal Injury team in the area and are renowned for our work in brain, spinal, amputee and disease work. We prioritise rehabilitation in all cases and have a first class reputation for ensuring that our clients have early access to the care/equipment/housing/therapies and treatment they need. The Partners who lead the Serious Injury Team are regarded as leaders in their field and are ranked in the legal directories as such.

Our clients face great stress and uncertainty as a result of the life changing injuries they receive and benefit significantly from being able to quickly access expert legal advice on all aspects of their claims and any none accident related issues. This in turn enables our clients to focus on the rehabilitation we put in place to help aid their recovery. We work with our colleagues in these areas on a day to day basis to ensure that the client receives a 360 approach to client care.
