Spinal Injury

I sustained a life changing Spinal injury following a work accident in May 2021. I am lucky to be alive let alone walking. I was referred to Andy once discharged from hospital and was home recovering. From the very start Andy made me feel at ease with his professionalism, caring, understanding attitude towards a very sensitive situation I was now in. Andy talked me through the process that would now follow after taking on my case. From sorting out a case manager for me to get my rehabilitation started, to helping me with benefit advice and any other legal advice that may arise whilst still being in contact with my now former employers. I cannot stress enough the 110% plus help and support i received throughout my journey. It was not an easy case at times for myself or Andy, but Andy never waivered one minute. We were in constant contact when needed and no decision was made without my consent at any point in the process. This was another reason I have been so happy with Andy and all associated with my case at Higgs, every bump in the road, every hurdle that was encountered we spoke through these and went over all of the information available to us with a a fine comb to make the correct decision at that moment in time. Myself and my family would not have ended up with the result I have, been able to start to move on with my life and get back to some sort of normality if it was not for Andy and all involved at Higgs. I owe them more than i will ever be able to express. If there was more than 5 stars then whatever the maximum rating would be is where I would be rating them. I for one moving forward in life if I ever need or I know of anybody who needs help in this field will make sure they are getting in touch with Andy and Higgs.

Professional, sympathetic and excellent advice.

Following a life changing motorcycle accident in January 2023, leading to a lower limb amputation, I was referred to Andy Shaw at Higgs. Andy was an extremely professional and supportive, though thoroughly sincere and personable. The advice provided was invaluable and, through Andy and my assigned case manager, I was able to gain access to much needed physical rehabilitation support, prosthetics and mental support required. This was all dealt with through the 3rd parties insurance and Andy fought hard to ensure I got what I needed. The process came to a quick conclusion in October 2024, with provisions made for my future care requirements. I could not have achieved this without Andy, and all the team at Higgs, support. I was kept involved at all stages of the process and the communication was key to helping me not to worry about both the legal process and future impact of my injuries. Andy and his team’s dedication to achieving a good outcome for myself and my family for my future care needs means that I can now return to living a fulfilling active life. Thank you!

Excellent Service

I work in the legal industry and knew that Higgs had an excellent reputation in this area. Andy Shaw and his team did not disappoint. I found their help and support invaluable and their client service excellent. Andy was at all times calm, assured, diligent, well organised, knowledgeable and put me at ease during what was quite a traumatic time. Andy kept me updated on a regular basis and progressed the case in the most efficient way he could. We recently reached a satisfactory settlement and Andy's considerable efforts played a large part in achieving this outcome. The more junior members of his team were also excellent. I would strongly recommend Andy and his team at Higgs. Thank you.

Excellent service received by Andy Shaw and his team. After being off for a year after a car accident, Andy made sure he understood the complex agreements and salary structures at my work. Always quick to answer emails and calls even when he was on days off. During the 3 years he always gave honest and good advice which resulted in a positive outcome of my case. Thank you!
