This area covers injuries caused by slips, trips or falls where someone else was at fault, including public and private places like shops, pavements and workplaces. A solicitor in this area handles the claim from start to finish, drafting the claim, gathering medical evidence, reporting liability and causation, negotiating with insurers, and taking the matter to court if needed. The work often turns on proving the responsible party’s duty of care, the breach of that duty, and the resulting injuries and losses.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The key risk is significant or ongoing injury and the consequences of delays in pursuing a claim, including limitation dates and the potential for complicated liability arguments. A solicitor protects the client’s position through evidence gathering, the proper use of medical reports, and ensuring court deadlines are met, alongside pursuing settlement or pursuing a claim in the appropriate court where necessary.
