Personal Injury
The effects of a personal accident or injury can be traumatic. Through no fault of your own you could find yourself unable to work or lead the life you once had. You can seek compensation. And if you do, it is essential you choose legal advisers who understand the complexities of personal injury law, and who will work hard to achieve the best result for you.
The Personal Injury team at Charles Russell understands that this is a difficult and challenging time for you. You are worried about the injury youhave received and its long term effects. And you are concerned about the costs involved should you pursue a claim. Which is why we’ll carefully explain the funding options available to you, including conditional fee agreements (known as no-win no-fee), legal expenses insurances, and public funding. And we will give you sensible and realistic advice about your legal rights.
We can arrange for private medical treatment, and other forms of rehabilitation support at the insurer’s expense, and we can put you in touch with charities and organisations that can help with some of the emotional or practical difficulties you may be facing. We also understand that it is not always just about compensation. Often it is important for you to see that lessons have been learned by the person or organisation that caused your injury; you want to know that the same mistakes won’t be repeated. We work hard to ensure this happens.
Our dedicated team has experience in all the major areas of personal injury work; from minor slip and trip accidents, to catastrophic injury claims. And we work closely with other specialist teams in the firm to deal with housing issues, investment of damages, and employment/pension issues. Together, we will make sure your life gets back to normal as quickly as possible.
