Woman with a bicycle

Common pitfalls include:

Although these pitfalls can all have potential to result in a less than full compensation recovery, it is rarely the case that all is lost in terms of a claim for compensation. Often negotiation and legal argument will play an important part in determining the level of compensation achieved. It is therefore important to seek legal advice from a specialist firm of solicitors to advise and negotiate on your behalf.

What our clients say

  • Fiona Fraser gave us amazing support after I was in a car accident with my daughter. She checked in with us as soon as she found out to see if we were ok and arranged to get information to start our claim. Fiona kept me informed at all stages of the process and always gave great advice on what to do next.
