If you have suffered an injury, be it a broken leg, head injury, burns or even bruising in an accident, which was not your fault, it is likely that you may be able to pursue a claim for damages. For instance, if you have slipped over in a supermarket because the floor was wet or fallen in the street because paving slabs were not correctly laid, or been involved in a road traffic accident caused by another party, we can help you by putting your case for negligence to the party at fault.

There are certain time limits in place for dealing with such cases but a rough guide would be that you have 3 years from the date of the injury to pursue your claim for damages.

Medical evidence is very important in these cases and it is advantageous to seek medical advice as soon as the injury occurs and to continue to see a doctor if the injury persists over a long period of time.

If you would like to discuss any matter with us please contact our experienced Personal Injury Lawyer, Mr Andrew O'Brien, or his Secretary, Mrs Christine Wylde, to make an appointment. Mr O'Brien can then discuss with you whether your claim would be likely to succeed in Court and our "no win - no fee" scheme. Please call on 01268 761126 or email to: brianruffs@aol.com
