FATAL ACCIDENTS

The effects of losing a loved one in a fatal accident are wide-ranging and devastating. Every year, collisions on UK roads result in over 40,000 serious injuries and thousands of fatalities.

Bereaved partners and family members require the highest standards of legal representation to help them try to come to terms with what has happened and secure the highest possible quality of life.

An individual's circumstances and needs are unique in every case. Our dedicated team ensures that these are taken into account, we will ensure that you receive the very best advice and maximising your claim.

We specialise in offering advice, following fatal road collisions, on behalf of:

• A husband or wife, or former husband or wife of the deceased
• A civil partner or former civil partner of the deceased
• A person who was living with the deceased as husband or wife for at least two years prior to the death
• A parent or other dependent of the deceased
• A person who was treated by the deceased as his or her parent
• A child or other dependent of the deceased

Our team will offer a free, no obligation initial consultation where we will discuss the circumstances of your case with you. We will tell you if we believe you could pursue a claim and clearly explain your options to you. It is important to note that these cases are subject to a limitation period of three years and if this time limit expires it means you may not be able to bring a claim relating to the injury. 

There are rules as to when this time begins to run from and it's different for children and adults.

ACCIDENTS AT WORK

Accidents at work are very common and can happen to any of us. By law, every employer has a duty of care to provide safe working environment conditions and if they do not adhere to these regulations, they are breaking the law. The responsibilities of maintaining a safe working environment can come in many different forms, such as by testing machinery on a regular basis, providing adequate training and safety equipment, or informing employees of the potential dangers in the work place and how to avoid them.

So if you have suffered a personal injury at work through no fault of your own and would like to make a claim for "work accident" compensation, we are here to help.

SLIPS/TRIPS

Injuries such as trips and slips are often known as 'public liability' claims. They can include, injuries sustained on council properties, sports facilities, in hospitals (but not as a result of medical negligence), public transport buildings, or other places where the owner or occupier has control of the premises.

CICA (Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority)

We have a criminal injuries compensation department with many years' experience in compensation claims for the victims of crime.

The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) was established in 1964 to manage the criminal injuries compensation scheme in Britain. It is responsible for the administering of criminal injury compensation to those who have been injured as a result of crime.

Since its introduction it has provided some tangible acknowledgement of society's sympathy for innocent victims of violent crime.

The CICA can award anything from £1,000 up to £500,000.

If you have suffered an injury and wish to discuss whether you may have a claim or whether you are within the time limits please contact us on

Please note, we don't simply work with clients in the Preston area. Wherever you are in the country we can help.
