Insurance Law

Bike accident claim from an insurance co

On 27th April 2025 I was knocked off my bicycle in Bury St Edmunds by a careless motorist and suffered serious injuries. When I tried to claim from the insurance company I was told I had to do this through a lawyer which is why I contacted Ashtons. The lawyer assigned to this task managed to negotiate a substantial compensation for me as well as most of her fee from the insurance company, all done with courtesy and honesty. A successful outcome for me.

Sucessful Asbestosis Claim

In early 2025 I engaged Ashtons Solicitors to represent me in my claim for compensation for Asbestosis. I was represented by Ruth Hinchliffe, a charming, polite and very patient young solicitor. This personable exterior hides a very capable and knowledgeable negotiator who was always happy to answer my questions, nothing was too much trouble. There were issues in my case of incorrect medical reports which had to be corrected and she dealt with witness's. I would definitely recommend Ashtons to anyone unfortunate enough to be in my situation. A successful conclusion to my claim has now been reached in less than 18 months, thank you Ruth.

Asbestosis Claim

I was introduced to Ruth when I engaged Ashtons to represent me in my claim for Asbestosis compensation in early 2025. Her very cheerful, confident and patient exterior hides her very knowledgeable and skilled capabilities especially when dealing with my case which required dealing with incorrect medical reports and handling witnesses. Nothing was too much trouble and i am pleased to say she has brought my case to a very successful conclusion, thank you so much, Mike.

It’s no exaggeration when I say that Ashtons Legal changed my life after I sustained a catastrophic traumatic brain injury aged 20. Ashtons was recommended to me by the PALS team at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, and I reached out to them in early 2022 and the case concluded in mid 2026 due to its complexity. Thanks to the absolutely tenacious eye for detail that Mick Upton used in my case against the individual who injured me in a hit-and-run, and the ice cold professionalism and legal acumen that Marcus Grant presented against the insurance company who were the defendants in the case, I am now protected for the foreseeable future and have access to cutting edge care and financial advice outsourced to excellent advisors who also have a great eye for all things economic. Throughout the four-year process I was kept in the loop every step of the way. No stone was left unturned and nothing was left to chance - Mick Upton led from the front to secure me a settlement which is absolutely life changing and Marcus Grant was there to be the face of negotiation, assist and to provide crucial representation when it mattered most. Throughout it all there was a team of ferociously dedicated and committed executives, managers and assistants who formed the backbone of the case and provided their expert aid when I needed questions answered or needed to provide my own input. I would like to thank one of them, Louise Reardon, for being so kind, helpful and understanding when I found it difficult to complete forms or communicate effectively with the team. Her compassion was second to none, matched only by her ability to assist and offer guidance. For them this was another day at the office. For me, it was simply life changing and I cannot express my gratitude adequately in this review. If you need a personal injury team that fights tooth and nail for the best outcome, look no further. 10/10.

Outstanding Service and Support I can’t thank Mick Upton enough for the incredible service he provided during my industrial injury claim. From the very beginning, Mick was professional, friendly, and genuinely supportive throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything clearly, always made himself available to answer questions, and guided me through each step with confidence and care. What stood out most was Mick’s dedication and understanding — he not only handled my case with great skill but also offered a level of personal support that made a stressful situation much easier to cope with. Thanks to his hard work and expertise, the claim was successful, which will make a huge difference for me moving forward and help manage any future challenges related to the injury. I highly recommend Mick Upton to anyone needing a solicitor for an industrial injury claim. His professionalism, empathy, and commitment are second to none.

We recently used Ashtons Legal for the purchase of our first home and couldn't be happier with the service we received. A special thank you to Kathryn Smith and Sienna Vincent, who were excellent throughout the entire process. They were responsive, efficient, professional and always willing to answer our questions, no matter how small. Communication was clear and timely, and they consistently kept pace with us whenever we needed information or decisions quickly. Buying a house can be stressful, and we'd heard plenty of horror stories from friends and family about conveyancing solicitors. Thankfully, our experience with Ashtons Legal was the complete opposite. Kathryn and Sienna helped keep everything on track, proactively dealt with issues as they arose, and gave us confidence throughout the transaction. The service was worth every penny and we would not hesitate to recommend Ashtons Legal to anyone purchasing a property. Thank you again for helping us secure our new home.
