Personal injury/Accident

Finger trapped in door...? Saucepan stuck on head...? Tripped over the cat...? Driven out of the garage without opening the door...? Got out of bed on the wrong side...? WE'RE SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THAT BUT....WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, IT WAS PROBABLY YOUR FAULT!

Let's face it - making a claim for compensation has got a bit of a bad name lately. People blaming someone else for their own misfortune (or stupidity), the dubious activities of some "claims companies", and a feeling that the "compensation culture" is motivated by greed, not need - All this has left a nasty taste in many mouths, and no wonder...

We are not in the business of persuading people to make claims if they don't want to. (We don't chase ambulances, stop people in the street, or go round knocking on doors). But if you have sustained an injury that was not your fault, and it has caused you loss or inconvenience, then you may be considering making a claim for damages. If so, why not contact us and let us help you decide whether you want to take things further - at no cost to you.

Crispin Chappell is an accredited member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers and also on the Solicitors' Regulation Authority's specialist personal injury panel. He'll often agree to act for you without asking you to pay a penny piece. This is by way of a simple and clever idea called a no-win, no-fee agreement, or a Conditional Fee Agreement. (So clever and simple is it, the agreement itself - as recommended by the Law Society - unfortunately runs to some 8 pages. But don't despair, we can explain it to you and it's good for you!)
