PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS

Thousands of people are injured in accidents every year. Knowing where to go for help and advice can be a bit daunting especially given the large number of high profile firms and claims management companies who advertise regularly.

Hayton Winkley have helped hundreds of people over the years to secure compensation from a few hundred pounds, to hundreds of thousands of pounds, in a wide range of circumstances, such as …

Road accidents

Accidents at work

Accidents whilst at home, in the street, or in shops

Accidents caused by faulty products

Expertise....

Most claims are handled personally by SuzieFisher so you can be assured that you receive the best possible advice and the personal attention that you deserve. Larger organisations might pass your claim down to a more junior member of staff, or claims handler, who has no specific legal qualification. Going to a high profile firm does not always mean you get high quality advice.

 

More than just compensation …

Compensation is the end result of most personal injury claims. Even so, we understand that accident victims are not always just ‘interested in the money’ and by concentrating on your needs, we can help you achieve all your objectives.
We may be able to help you with rehabilitation (physiotherapy, counselling, etc), benefits advice, arranging domestic or other assistance, interim payments or other financial guidance, or simply getting an apology.
We will help you every step of the way

Stay local …

Why risk going through a claims management company only to find that the solicitor they appoint for you is 50 miles away? You do not have to go to a high profile firm, to get high quality advice.
Home and Hospital Visits can be arranged if you are unable to visit our office .

Worried about costs ? … Don’t be !

Many claims are funded by way of conditional fee agreements, more commonly known as ‘no-win, no-fee’. Full details can be provided on request.

By going through a claims management company you involve a ‘middleman’ whose fees may be funded from your compensation. We believe that you should keep all your compensation.

You may even already have insurance that will cover the costs your claim. Legal Expenses Insurance is often attached to motor or home insurance cover. Even if you are told that any claim under such a scheme must be dealt with by solicitors chosen by the insurance provider, this is not always the case. Those solicitors may not be local to you. Bring your insurance documentation to us so that we can check what cover you have and make representations on your behalf.
