This area covers claims for personal injury or other harm caused by local government negligence in England, where the defendant is a council or other public body. A solicitor handles the case from initial assessment through court or settlement, focusing on liability, causation and quantum, and often dealing with assessments under the Civil Procedure Rules and public body damages frameworks. Typical claims include slips, trips, or injuries arising from defective services, road or pavement hazards, and failing to provide adequate care or accommodation.
The solicitor identifies the precise statutory duties and common law principles that determine fault, gathers medical evidence and records, and coordinates with investigators and local authority insurers. They prepare the evidence bundle, issue proceedings in the County Court or High Court as appropriate, and negotiate settlements or pursue trial strategies, all while complying with court timetables and disclosure requirements.

I used Nelsons Solicitors (Dianne Collins) to help me pursue an injury claim. Communication was impeccable and the entire process was dealt with professionally and succinctly. I would not hesitate in recommending them to others.

JMW has set up a Personal Injury Trust for me, to make sure the compensation award I've received is protected. Paul Gotch's work on this has been really helpful; the process has been straightforward, problem-free and I've been left without any complaints. The advice I've received has been top notch and it's meant that I can make the most of my compensation award. "

Tagged solicitor Mark Gore
Mark Gore and Nicola Todd were very professional and treated me with respect. They listened and acted on my personal injury claim. They were very good overall but I would have liked to have seen all documentation during the process. My outcome was lower than expected but that had nothing to do with the firm.
