Military NIHL - Refused Case after saying it was OK.

Enquired about a military claim for NIHL as I was in the armed forces 1984 to 1996. They accepted but then phoned me to say they cannot take on the claim as I joined the forces before 1987. This is wrong as my service continued on until 1996... so that is well after 1987. Not very knowledgeable on the parameters of what can be claimed. Other solicitor firms had no problem with the dates.

Would just like to thanks Sue@Hudgells solicitors for all her hard work in getting a really fair settlement for my Dads injuries after he was knocked off his bike. She was always available whenever i needed to get in touch and would spend a fair bit of time on the phone to my Dad. She's a credit to her profession and we would highly recommend her. Thanks again Sue!

Hi Mark, Thank you for your wonderful review. Sue is very passionate and dedicated to her clients, and will often go above an beyond to ensure clients are informed, supported, comfortable and of course fairly compensated. We are delighted to hear Sue secured fair compensation for your Dad and took her time when speaking with you, the human interaction is something that is important to us so thank you for highlighting this. Thank you for trusting Hudgell Solicitors.

I would highly recommend Hudgell Solicitors, particularly Rachel, Senior Litigation Executive, who handled my NHS medical negligence claim. The case was challenging, especially as the defendant did not accept causation in relation to my cancer diagnosis. However, Rachel never gave up and worked tirelessly to achieve a compensation settlement for me despite this difficulty. Her persistence, professionalism and determination made a real difference throughout the process. Her communication is exceptional. Doing something as daunting as filing a claim against the NHS was something I have never done and didn't understand. Rachel made this very easy for me. I was listen to and advise very well. I cannot fault her for anything. Hudgell came highly recommended to me by a friend who is a judge, and I am very grateful that I followed their recommendation. Thank you to Rachel and the team at Hudgell for all their hard work and support.

Excellent communication from Hugell Solicitors throughout the claim. Kerry was very efficient, always kept me updated, and clearly explained the next steps. Without Kerry and the team's assistance, we would never have found out what happened at the inquest. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking professional and supportive legal representation.

Hi Anthony, we are delighted to hear that Kerry was efficient and informative. We are also thrilled that she was able to get you the answers you needed and deserved. Thank you for your kind words and recommendation, it means a lot to us.
