Our team includes members of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL), AOIL Accredited Senior Litigators and members of the Law Society Clinical Negligence and Personal Injury Panel. Our experience and approach We are experienced in dealing with a wide range of claims, from those of modest value to catastrophic injury and fatal accident cases. In relation to road traffic accidents - the most common type of claim - our clients include pedestrians, passengers, drivers, cyclists and bus passengers. We have pursued claims against a range of defendants including private individuals and the Motor Insurers' Bureau. We have a flexible approach to funding claims. We act for many clients under conditional fee ('no win no fee') agreements, under which solicitors will not generally receive payment of their fees if a claim doesn't succeed. However, under these agreements solicitors are entitled to charge a success fee to clients who win their cases (a percentage of the solicitors' fees, capped at 25% of compensation obtained for pain and suffering and for financial losses up to the date of any trial).
