T.B. - I have been a member of Unite since 1969 and did not realise the benefit to my extended family until my wife had a tripping accident and broke her wrist. The service my wife received was remarkable, and after a long struggle and defended Court action, was awarded over £11K. The services was entirely free and was treated with the utmost courtesy by David Harris.
