Personal injury, medical negligence and industrial illness compensation claims

Have you had an accident in the last three years and was it someone else's fault? If your answer is yes to these questions you could have the right to claim compensation.

We act for hundreds of accident victims and people who have been diagnosed with workplace related illnesses across Kent each year, achieving positive outcomes for our clients. For some examples of local personal injury cases we have taken on and won see our personal injury client stories page.

We may still be able to help you if your accident was not covered by one of these categories and can also assist with fatal accident compensation claims.

Various ways of funding our fees are available including "no win, no fee". The amount of personal injury compensation awarded varies depending on the seriousness of the injury, how long its effects will last and the financial losses involved. To see how much your injury could be worth see our compensation calculator page.

For a personal injury claim to succeed we need to show that somebody else was legally at fault for your accident, we need to prove the injuries or financial losses you suffered and we need to be satisfied that whoever was at fault has insurance or some other means to pay your compensation and legal costs. 

Industrial illness
If your health has been affected by your work we may be able to claim compensation for you. Our friendly, local solicitors will aim to get you the maximum amount of compensation to help you tackle your problems. See our industrial illness page for more details of the types of cases we often deal with.

Medical negligence
If the treatment or care you received from a medical professional fell below the standard you expected and this resulted in injury or suffering then you may have a claim for medical negligence compensation. For more details see our medical negligence page.
