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.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

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.

Nicole Turner

Tagged solicitor Nicole Turner

Brilliant to deal with especially at such a time of stress and worry. From the first setting up of the initial call on line to dealing directly with Nicole turner the solicitor. Fantastic dealt with me like I was a human. Nicole was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and most of all understanding of my situation. She made me feel at ease and has helped dramatically with helping me feel confident that whatever happens she and the team will be there if needed. (But also as equally didn’t push any further to take my case further unless I felt I needed to.)
