Our Cambridge Office has an unparalleled range of expertise and deep commitment to our clients.
The Personal Injury department is made up of a large number of specialist areas such as catastrophic injury (brain, spinal, amputation and fatal injury), industrial disease, travel law, abuse law, human rights and inquest law. Each of these areas has a range of legal experts specialising specifically in these fields.
We will fight for our clients, sometimes going on to the Court of Appeal and also the Supreme Court to succeed, and fight to make changes in the law for the good of the injured.
Although we do pride ourselves on the expertise and best possible outcome we provide our clients in respect of their personal injury case, our dedication does not stop there. Often when someone suffers a personal injury, it can lead to other issues which may require legal advice. We provide our clients with a range of legal services from a host of specialist lawyers to relieve any additional burden at what can be an extremely difficult time.
There are also a range of non-legal services which we are able to offer our clients to assist them in a range of practical issues to reduce stress at what can be a difficult time, such as welfare benefits advice.
