How our Personal Injury Lawyers in Leicester can help

Every injury affects people differently, which is why we take the time to understand your unique situation before starting your claim. Our team will guide you through each stage with practical advice and a clear plan for achieving the best possible outcome.

We assist clients across Leicester and the wider area with a broad range of Personal Injury claims, including but not limited to the following:

  • Road traffic accidents – from car accidents, motorcycle crashes to cycling and pedestrian injuries, we help clients navigate complex insurance issues and secure fair compensation for everything from whiplash to severe trauma like spinal damage.
  • Workplace and industrial accidents – employers have a duty to keep their staff safe. If you were injured at work because of unsafe practices, faulty equipment, or inadequate training, we can help you claim compensation for your injuries and lost income.
  • Public and premises liability – whether you’ve slipped in a supermarket, tripped in a public building, or been injured by a falling object, we’ll investigate what went wrong and hold those responsible to account.
  • Brain and head injuries – serious injuries require specialist support. Our experienced solicitors work closely with medical professionals to ensure that your long-term care and rehabilitation needs are fully reflected in your claim.
  • Product liability – if you’ve been hurt by a defective product or unsafe goods, our team will identify where the fault lies, and pursue compensation from the relevant manufacturer or supplier.
  • Criminal injury compensation – we provide sensitive support to victims of violent crime through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) scheme.
  • Holiday and travel accidents – if you were injured while abroad or travelling, we can help navigate the complexities of international claims and consumer protection law.
  • Sports and leisure accidents – we act for people injured during organised activities or events where safety standards were not properly met.
  • Occupational disease and illness – including conditions such as industrial deafness, repetitive strain injury, and asbestos-related diseases caused by unsafe working environments.
  • Fatal accident claims – we offer compassionate legal guidance to families seeking justice and financial support following the loss of a loved one.

Our Leicester Personal Injury claims process

We know that starting a claim can feel daunting, especially when you’re already dealing with the aftermath of an injury. Our Leicester personal accident lawyers aim to make the process as simple, transparent, and stress-free as possible. Here’s what our personal injury process looks like in Leicester:

1. Initial consultation

We begin with a discussion to understand what happened, explain your options, and provide an honest assessment of your claim.

2. Evidence gathering

Strong claims rely on strong evidence. We collect accident reports, witness statements, photographs, CCTV footage, and medical records to build a clear and comprehensive case.

3. Independent medical assessment

You’ll be referred to a trusted medical expert who will assess your injuries and provide a detailed report outlining the extent of the harm and any long-term effects.

4. Negotiation and resolution

We handle all correspondence with insurers and other parties, using our experience to negotiate effectively and secure the maximum compensation possible. We can also represent you if your case goes to court. 

Throughout your claim, you’ll have a dedicated solicitor who will stay in regular contact, provide updates, and promptly answer your questions.
