Personal Injury Claims

If you have been involved in an accident and sustained an injury, whether on the road, in the workplace or elsewhere, you may be entitled to compensation. Similarly, if you have developed a work-related disease such as industrial deafness, mesothelioma, or carpal tunnel syndrome, you may have a valid claim.

Personal Injury Claims

At Ward Gethin we have a specialist department that can provide the help and support you will need, together with expert and sympathetic advice. We have an experienced team of lawyers which includes members of the Law Society Personal Injury Panel and Association of Personal Injury Lawyers. We are therefore able to provide you with an efficient and effective service.

Do I have a claim?
We offer a free initial interview, without further obligation, to discuss whether you have a claim.

What will it cost?
Most of our cases are dealt with on a 'no win, no fee' basis. At the initial interview we will discuss whether we can offer a no win no fee agreement for your claim.
