£3 million settlement for Angie

Angie Pooley's mother

We recovered £3 million for a young woman after she suffered a major head injury during an ambulance journey.

"Having had my world turned upside down, I needed to find someone who could guide me through the minefield of legal argument whilst at the same time remember I had suffered a massive personal hurt. Not only did I find an expert for my daughter's case but I found a friend who I came to rely upon not only for every part of the legal work but as a shoulder to cry on as well. Tim Roper, my lawyer, worked tirelessly for my daughter Angie. Although needing 24 hour specialist care, Angie is able to enjoy a full and active life in her own home today. None of this would have happened without the care and dedication we received from Tim."
Elaine Pooley, Angie's mother.

Undisclosed sum recovered for a female motorcycle passenger

Female motorcyclist

The victim suffered multiple injuries including a serious leg injury, which involved the whole leg being reconstructed.

"One of the things I couldn't have hoped to have found was somebody who would find a way to help my recovery even after the doctors had said they'd done all they could. Neale Crump, my lawyer, agreed interim payments which paid for the surgery that got me out of a wheelchair. And although it was my bright idea to take on all the pain and risks involved, I knew he would be there to help if anything went wrong."

£15,000 settlement for biker

David Reeves /

£15,000 recovered for injuries sustained following a motorcycle collision. David Reeves was left with a severely broken wrist and soft tissue injuries as a result of being thrown from his motorcycle.

"The fact my lawyer specialised in motorcycle claims definitely helped. The case progressed surprisingly quickly and I knew exactly what was expected of me. I particularly liked the fact I could chat to him one to one. He always explained things very clearly and I never felt like I was left in the dark. He exceeded my expectations."

£4,500 recovered for Margaret Francis

Margaret Francis

Mrs Francis tripped over an empty pallet at her local supermarket. She was left with bruising to the left side of her body and an acceleration of the arthritis in her left knee. Within 12 months of suffering the accident, she won and received £4,500 in damages.

"I thought the service I received was really professional. I received very clear advice and understood everything, and it didn't cost me a penny."

£23,000 recovered for Mr T

Mr T

When Mr T was involved in a Road Traffic Accident, the other side admitted liability but offered him just £3,850. Not satisfied, Mr T transferred his instructions to us from the solicitor he was with at the time. We found that the compensation calculation in his case was complicated as he was self-employed and had lost work as a result of his injury. After thoroughly investigating his business, we successfully won the sum of £23,000 for him.

"I was very impressed with the service I received. My solicitor, David James, was very professional and had a firm handle on my case. I felt very at ease with him. He is the best example of a lawyer I have ever come across."

"I had just lost my flying career and felt my Insurer wanted to rush my claim through to get it done and dusted without any real concern for what I wanted. My lawyer, Linda Woollams, didn't let me down. She was professional and reliable and I am very pleased with the outcome."

£235,000 settlement for Reg Hamlyn

Reg Hamlyn

Mr Hamlyn tripped on a door mat in shop premises causing him to fall through a window and suffer serious injuries.

"My claim was dealt with in a very personal and professional manner. The advice I was given was very clear and informative and delivered in a way which was easy for me to understand. I was kept well informed and regularly updated. I would strongly recommend them and have done on a number of occasions already. First class."

Undisclosed sum recovered for Steve Lee

Steve Lee

Mr Lee suffered a serious spinal injury whilst serving with the Royal Navy, which sadly left him permanently disabled. Mr Lee was medically discharged from the Navy and his wife, who was a lecturer at the time, had to leave her job to care for her husband full time.

"Time was against us as the accident had happened over 12 months before. It was amazing how my claim got off the ground so quickly. I found the service leagues above any lawyer I've used in the past. I'm extremely happy with the outcome. The settlement has opened so many doors to me and my wife. I can't thank them enough."

£55,000 recovered for successful IT professional

Nick Smith

Nick Smith suffered a mild head injury and incomplete dislocation of his shoulder following a motor vehicle collision. The head injury, although mild, went on to cause him a great deal of trouble. The claim was hotly contested with three medical experts being instructed for Nick Smith and a number of witnesses prepared to support his case. An initial offer to settle of £15,000.00 was rejected as was a subsequent offer of £35,000.

"I was very impressed with the way my lawyer, Andrew Warlow, handled my case. The accident was the worst thing that had ever happened to me and at times I felt very angry about the whole thing. I would sometimes call Andrew to get things off my chest and always felt better after talking to him. He always had my best interests at heart and most importantly enabled me to maintain a sense of perspective. As a result I am now rebuilding my life and things are moving forward"

£60,000 recovered for Iris Taylor

£4,000 settlement for Vibration White Finger sufferer

Keith was employed at a foundry and had to use a number of vibratory tools throughout his employment. This claim was defended robustly to the eve of Trial where the former employer made an offer in settlement which, after further negotiations, the sum of £4000 was agreed.

"I received an excellent service and had no problems with any part of it. Everything was explained very well to me at all times and my lawyer was always at the end of the line if I needed him. I didn't realise the difference a specialist lawyer could make. I would have no hesitation using them again. They were first class and I would definitely recommend them. 10 out of 10."

£4.2 Million recovered for Ryan Stevens

Undisclosed sum recovered for Thomas

This client is a young boy who sustained a serious head injury as a passenger in a road traffic accident. Due to the complexity of Thomas's injury, a provisional compensation award was sought and recovered from the Defendant in the event that his condition should deteriorate in the future.

The boy's mother states: "My son's claim was very successful thanks to our lawyer Neale Crump. He was very supportive throughout the years that the claim was in progress. To proceed with a claim can take time and be an emotional rollercoaster. I know from a bad past experience that to get the right solicitor on your side from the start is so important. I would recommend Neale in a heartbeat."
