The Personal Injury team specialises in employers' liability injury cases, but also covers fatal accident claims, and an increasing number of clinical negligence claims.
We pursue difficult and high-value personal injury claims, each time dedicating an individual contact supported by a team of personal injury and clinical negligence experts.
Our lawyers act for individuals, trade unions, professional associations, businesses, and non-profit-making organisations dealing with all types of industrial injury, including work related upper limb disorder, stress at work claims, and clinical negligence claims.
We also specialise in supporting clients in the entertainment industries on film, television and theatre accidents to actors, dancers, singers and stunt performers, and in the healthcare sector – where clients include the Royal College of Nursing, the Society of Radiographers, and the NHS – we work with people who have sustained ill health caused by exposure to toxic chemicals and fumes (mainly for radiographers and nurses), for example.
More broadly, our team helps people with a number of serious injuries, including spinal injury, exposure to biological agents and infectious diseases including HIV and tuberculosis, manual handling injuries suffered, occupational asthma, occupational stress, and repetitive strain injuries.
We also act on injuries caused stress in the workplace including bullying and harassment.
We act for clients on a "No Win, No Fee" basis provided we are satisfied that the claim has a better than 50% chance of succeeding. We take pride in our high success rate and are proud to be a leader in the field.
