Abuse Claims
Holidays are a time of joy, excitement, and anticipation. The last thing anyone expects when they go on holiday is to become ill or suffer an accident because of negligence.
Unfortunately, many people are sick or injured on holiday, and this can be a frightening experience, especially if it happens in a foreign country where you do not speak the language.
Abroad ClaimsThe injuries that can be sustained in a criminal attack or assault are not always just physical; they can also cause severe psychological harm, for example, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
We have helped clients who have found themselves victims of sexual and physical assaults.
Criminal Injuries
Many patients who have had hip replacements develop no serious problems and benefit from well-functioning hip implants.
But compared with other hip replacements, some metal-on-metal hip devices have been found to wear down more quickly in some patients. The implants can cause tiny metal fragments/debris to be released into the joint, muscle and into the blood stream, resulting in bone and muscle damage, as well as neurological issues.
Hip ReplacementRSI is a common condition amongst keyboard and mouse users but is not limited to office workers. It could apply to any work that involves repetition; for example, packing or production line work, or certain types of beauty therapy such as massages and manicures. This work may lead to the stiffness, numbness and pain in hands, arms and shoulders that is associated with RSI.

Call: 01429 225200Personal injury claims typically hinge on two key factors: liability and damages. Liability refers to establishing that someone else (such as another individual, a company, or an institution) was responsible for the injury due to negligence or breach of duty. Damages refer to the extent of the harm suffered by the claimant, which can include physical injuries, emotional distress, medical expenses, lost wages, and other related losses.
To determine if you have a viable claim, you should consider whether someone else's actions or negligence directly contributed to your injury and whether you have suffered significant damages as a result. Consulting with a member of our personal injury team can provide valuable insight into the strength of your case and the legal options available to you.
