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.

John Dry

Tagged solicitor John Dry

I am very happy with the service provided, quick easy and no stress. The person who was in charge of my case, John Dry, was very helpful and made sure everything was okay and relayed it all quickly with effective communication. I am glad to say my case was approved and I am receiving compensation which is much appreciated of course. My place will be fully repaired and negotiations with the council went amazingly. Thank you so much!!
