Leo Abse & Cohen
Solicitors

You or anyone in your family can claim for any accident in which you have suffered an injury through no fault of your own. You can claim for damages for personal injury such as an accident or an industrial disease plus financial losses.

Win or lose it won't cost you anything. If you are claiming through your Trade Union your Trade Union will be responsible for costs whatever happens.

Yes, 3 years from the date of accident or in the case of an industrial disease 3 years from the date that you first reasonably believed you had a claim. For accidents to children the 3 years begin from their 18th birthday.

Anyone who has been injured - we will consider the merits of all claims however minor the injury.

Simply fill in our on-lineclaim form or phone our number and we'll do the rest. We'll help and support you every step of the way.

This depends on the seriousness of the injury. In all cases we will obtain a medical report to enable us to put a precise value on the claim.

The agreed compensation figure is the amount you receive. The only potential deduction relates to state benefits that have been paid as a result of the accident which may have to be repaid to the Government - we will advise you fully on this point.

No, not a penny - and if you win you'll keep 100% of any compensation.

Speak to your Trade Union Representative and ask for details of the Union's Legal Assistance Scheme - if this proves difficult, contact us and we will point you in the right direction.

Simple claims such as road traffic accidents can be completed within 4-6 months, many claims are completed within 12 months and almost all claims within 24 months - length of cases depends on extent of liability dispute and severity of injuries.

Not a great deal. There may be an initial face to face interview or if you wish this can be avoided by the use of a questionnaire - apart from that all you have to do is go to see a doctor for the purposes of a medical report and deal with any issues that arising in correspondence from time to time. In all cases we'll take you through the process step by step and make it easy for you.
