Resolving a Car Accident claim.

After more than two months of failing to resolve my claim over a minor accident, my insurance company passed my file on to Mr Donaldson. While this was a minor claim, due to the length of time for which it was unresolved, I had my concerns and anxieties. Mr Donaldson recognised this immediately and he did his best to alleviate my worries without offering unwarranted guarantees. He kept me informed timeously of any progress and did not display a hint of arrogance when dealing with me. Most importantly, anything that he said he would do, he done. If asked by a friend or family, I would not hesitate in recommending Mr Donaldson.

Accident claim.

The service received was excellent, especially when much of the process was carried out over Covid lockdown periods. The claims handler, Sam Donaldson was very good, keeping me up to date with the claim through regular contact and who ensured that I received a good response to the claim.

Sam was amazing from start to finish. He kept me updated throughout the full process and his advice was always spot on. I hope to never need your services again Sam, but if I do, I will be reassured that it will be handled professionally and with care! Thank you for all your help!

Sam Donaldson - Claims Handler Watermans I received a first class service from Sam at all times. Sam was extremely professional, efficient, helpful and thorough in his work for Watermans, at every stage of the process. He explained the process very clearly to me and kept me updated regularly by email and telephone. I found Sam to be polite and friendly and his advice was invaluable. I am extremely happy with the service I have received from Watermans and very grateful particularly to Sam for all his hard work and perseverance. I would definitely recommend using Watermans, as a professional solicitors and am delighted with the commitment and effort Sam put into my case. Top marks all round! Thank you.
