Clinical, Medical & Dental Negligence
After the incident, you are left with a lot of pain and bills. These bills are expensive as they cover your treatment, transportation cost and injuries. But, the worst is yet to come as you are unable to attend work and won’t get paid for those days either.
Now let’s look at the other side, when you claim and our solicitors fight your case, you can get compensated for your medical and transportation bills, and also for the days you were not able to go for work. It is a fair deal and you deserve it.
How do I claim
The first step is to call us for a free consultation and we’ll review your case and understand how it should proceed. Then your case will be forwarded to a solicitor who is best suited for this area.
From here, you don’t have to worry about anything as our solicitor will work on your case, gather all the information and create a file that represents you and what you’ve been through, and that you were not the one at fault.
Data Breach Claims
We live in a digital age where your personal data could fall into the wrong hands.
In 2020 a major airline had to reveal that the email addresses and travel data of around 9 million Customers were taken by hackers in one of the biggest privacy breaches to hit the airline industry. The credit card details of roughly 2,200 people were also accessed.

Please note that financial claim fees are capped at a maximum of 30% + VAT, however the fees may be as little as 15% + VAT and will be dependent on the redress awarded for your claim.
