Personal Injury: Mainly Claimant | UK

Wales

Personal Injury covers the full scope of litigation arising from injuries sustained outside of a clinical context. This includes litigation arising from workplace accidents, motor accidents and abuse claims. Please note there is a separate table for industrial disease claims.  This table ranks firms and lawyers that act for the individuals, or groups of individuals, bringing claims.  Firms that represent insurers and other defendants are ranked elsewhere in our Mainly Defendant tables. Certain niche areas of international work are also covered by this section, such as injuries and abuse resulting from wars and corporate negligence, although purely travel-related injuries are covered in a separate section within the Travel section of the guide entitled International Personal Injury. The table covers all of Wales and contains the leading law firms and lawyers in Cardiff, Swansea and elsewhere.
