Top 10 of 2,597 law firms for Against The Council, Personal Injury

Law firms ranked by client reviews

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.

Callum Morris

Tagged solicitor Callum Morris

I recently needed the services of an attorney after a road accident. I was fortunate enough to phone Upright Morris and get an appointment with Callum Morris. What a blessing that was. He immediately put me at ease, explained all the possible outcomes and said to leave it to him. When the trial date came he again said,to leave it all to him. I did exactly that and the man is a genius. I walked out of the court with the very best possible result I could have hoped for. All thanks to his amazing abilities. Thanks Callum, I will be forever grateful. If you need an attorney, there's only one man for the job. Callum Morris.

Marie Oxland

Tagged solicitor Marie Oxland

Following a motor accident I became frustrated with the solicitor appointed by my insurance company and asked Nash and Co to take over my claim for damages. The company were excellent in every way and succeeded in getting me a fair settlement. What was outstanding is that the outcome was exactly as the company predicted.

I was new to having to look for a personal injury solicitor & having never been thru this process before i was unsure of what would happen. But i need not have worried as i was put in the very capable hands of the senior litigator Nick Berry who soon put me at ease & explained the process in a simple & easy manner & soon put my mind at rest. From start to finish the whole process was smooth & stress free with a positive outcome. This is a very capable good Yorkshire firm who i highly recommend.

Benjamin BarberLeah Heckles

Tagged solicitors Benjamin Barber and Leah Heckles

I recently had the fortune of being represented by Ben Barber and Leah Heckles, who not only won my case but also did so with a level of professionalism and commitment that was truly remarkable. Their strategic approach and meticulous attention to detail set them apart from the outset. They demonstrated unwavering support throughout this challenging time, providing legal expertise and a much-needed sense of relief. Ben's readiness to answer any questions and his genuine kindness helped alleviate much of the stress associated with my case. He was clearly not just working on a case but was dedicated to supporting me through an extremely difficult period, for which I am deeply grateful. Ben's hard work, patience, and unwavering dedication were instrumental in achieving a favourable outcome. His ability to negotiate a settlement efficiently was invaluable, and he achieved double the original settlement offer made to me. It's rare to find someone who not only excels professionally but also provides a level of personal support and kindness that truly makes a difference. I am immensely thankful for everything Ben, Leah, and the staff at BG Solicitors have done. I recommend Ben and Leah to anyone who needs a friendly, approachable, and diligent solicitor.
