With over three decades of experience, we ensure clients receive fair settlements covering medical expenses, lost earnings, and rehabilitation costs.

We support clients with repetitive strain injuries, back injuries, and factory accidents, securing compensation for medical treatment, wage replacement, and long-term care. We operate on a NO WIN NO FEE basis, ensuring accessible legal representation for employees and agency workers seeking justice.
Road Traffic Accidents
We represent drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, and motorcyclists injured in road collisions, including uninsured or hit-and-run incidents.

Questions
What types of personal injury claims do you handle?
We handle workplace accidents, road traffic collisions, slips/trips, serious injuries, and public liability cases. Our solicitors specialise in NO WIN NO FEE claims across Dorking and nationwide.
How does the NO WIN NO FEE arrangement work?
You pay no legal fees if your claim fails. If successful, fees are recovered from the settlement, ensuring accessible justice without financial risk during your recovery period.
What compensation can I claim for?
Compensation covers medical expenses, lost earnings, rehabilitation costs, and psychological trauma. Serious injury cases may include long-term care and loss of future earnings calculations.
How long do I have to make a claim?
Most personal injury claims must be filed within three years of the incident. Some exceptions apply for workplace injuries or cases involving minors – contact us for specific advice.
What evidence do I need for a slip/trip claim?
Report the accident in the venue's logbook, take photographs of hazards, and collect witness details. Our solicitors will guide evidence submission and liability assessment processes.
Can I claim if the accident was partially my fault?
Partial liability cases can still succeed. We negotiate settlements reflecting contributory negligence, ensuring fair compensation for your injuries and losses under shared responsibility scenarios.
