- Well we act for the injured victim of an act of negligence, breach of duty or deliberate act, and recover compensation for that person’s injury and loss.
- The injured victim who brings the claim is called a Claimant.
- The person or body a claim is brought against is a Defendant.
- A Claimant will always be an individual person whereas a Defendant can be an individual, an incorporated company, or business or partnership, a local authority, a club etc.
- The injury can comprise or involve mental harm as well as physical damage.
- The Claimant if successful in a claim in negligence or breach of duty can recover damages (compensation) for a wide range of losses which may flow from the injury. A non exhaustive list is:-
- general damages for pain, suffering and loss of amenity.
- loss of earnings.
- damage to clothing and property.
- care and assistance.
- medical / rehabilitation treatment costs.
- A Claimant can recover damages non only for past losses but also future losses, for example if the Claimant’s earning ability has been affected or if future medical treatment is likely to be required.

How can we do this?
The answer is straightforward, in the event of a successful claim we are able to recover our costs and expenses from the Defendant insurers. If we are unsuccessful we do not charge you. Our interest in a claim is the same as yours – we want to succeed otherwise we don’t get paid.
We will only take on a claim with a reasonable (better than 50%) prospect of success – we are not interested in pursuing cases with no realistic prospect of succeeding and would give you clear advice at the outset on how we rate your claim.
If you have a claim to make, if you have a question to ask, if you are not satisfied with your existing legal advisors contact us to discuss matters – you have absolutely nothing to lose.
