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

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Council accidents cover injuries or harm caused by the fault, neglect or poor maintenance of a local authority’s facilities or roads, where the injury happened on public or council-controlled land. A solicitor handling these cases assesses whether the local authority owed a duty of care, gathers evidence, and pursues compensation for the injuries and losses arising from the incident. Practically this includes inspecting the site, obtaining council records, and negotiating with the authority or pursuing a claim in the county court or High Court if appropriate.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The action focuses on whether the council failed to maintain safety standards or address known hazards, creating a risk of harm. If proven, remedies may include compensation for injuries, loss of earnings, and expenses linked to medical treatment. The solicitor handles the claim process, coordinates with medical experts, and manages correspondence with the local authority, its insurers, and, where necessary, the court.

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 Jeremy Horton

Jeremy gave me straight forward honest information and advice. He was very knowledgeable on the subject and took our case over after we had received useless information from a local solicitor who had cost us dearly and basically told us to settle. Jeremey fought our corner and successfully got the case withdrawn. Efficient, friendly service. Always answered the phone and emailed back swiftly. Spoke in simple terms and explained things thoroughly.

Hansells have helped me greatly after a car accident I had in 2016. The process was lengthy as it was a complicated case however, I felt at ease and listened to throughout the whole time and received prompt updates on the case. Recieved a good amount of compensation for the injuries I endured and would highly recommended Keely Dougan as she is professional and will do her best to get you the best outcome possible. Couldn’t thank them enough!
