Personal Injury: Mainly Claimant | UK

South West

Our Personal Injury sections cover the full scope of litigation arising from injuries sustained outside of a clinical context. This includes litigation arising from workplace accidents, motor accidents, abuse claims and industrial disease. Certain niche areas of international work are also covered by this section, such as injuries and abuse resulting from wars and corporate negligence, although purely travel-related injuries are covered in a separate section entitled Travel: International Personal Injury. Our coverage is divided between those who represent the defendants or their insurers and those who bring claims on behalf of individuals seeking compensation for their injuries.
