Had an accident that's not your fault? What should you do?

How many times do you hear (and shudder) at the phrase, “where there’s a blame there’s a claim”? But, if you were unfortunately involved in an accident that was not your fault, you may find yourself in a position where you were unable to work, look after yourself and your family.

Common claims involve road traffic accidents and accidents at work, including faulty or old equipment. Accidents in public places or even being attacked by animals are a surprisingly regular occurrence. These types of accidents involve lives being disrupted in many ways.

If you do experience a personal injury, what would you do?

Making a claim is not simply about looking for cash to compensate for an injury. Genuine cases involve loss of income, ongoing medical expenses and even help in the home. Ultimately, people who experience a personal injury can end up with financial hardship plus an inconvenience to their lives.

Compensation is determined out of necessity, not the greed of the claimant, as the media has led people to believe. Claims management companies have added to this perception by capturing clients with cold calling and heavy advertising. Whilst they may seem to be reputable, such companies are not solicitors, therefore unable to provide expert legal advice.

The logical option is to use a specialist solicitor, ideally where you have one contact throughout the process of the claim. This will provide you with the confidence that your situation is being dealt with professionally and appropriately, ultimately giving you the best possible chance of getting your life back on track.

I recently collected on a no win no fee basis for a works accident case .Before I contacted Winston Solicitors I did my own research and decided to contact them with my issues. Amanda evens worked my case which took just over 3 years to conclude..I can not speak highly enough about her professionalism her empathy and friendly nature. Amanda arranged all my medical appointments with specialist consultants and helped me build my case against my employer's. Amanda kept me informed throughout this long drawn-out process and was always willing to advise and assist with any of my concerns. I would have no concerns about wholeheartedly recommending Winston Solicitors and Amanda to represent anyone who needed advice and help with a claim. And finally I would like to add Winston Solicitors are fortunate to have Amanda represent them . Regards martin

I had an accident which was not my fault and it resulted in a serious injury. I was considering putting in a claims but was not sure about next steps. I started looking at several solicitor websites conducting my own research. I came across Winston Solicitors so I called the office and was put through to a solictor who listened and we went through the incident while I answered their questions. I was not sure in the first instance if I had a case but after our discussion, the solicitors assured me there was a case and began gathering informaiton on my case. We worked together gathering all the necessary information they needed. Furthermore, following my accident it transpired I needed a second operation for the same injury and Winston Solicitors walked with me through the whole journey which took 2 years - finally we came to a successful conclusion. I found the solicitor working on my case very gentle, undertsanding, reassuring and patient with me, explainig everything so all 'next steps' were clear, making the whole process easy and comfortable. I am extremely happy with the conclusion and I would highly recommend this group of solicitors to family and friends.
