General liability
Every injury case is different - so we deal with each one differently.
Having worked with the insurance industry for many years, we've acquired vast experience in dealing with injury claims. We've also developed a specialism in complicated or catastrophic claims.
Our lawyers understand coverage and advise on all types of general liability policies. We combine our injury practice with our health-and-safety work, giving you seamless support in the civil and criminal courts.
We're regularly instructed in relation to inquests and understand the importance of the correct approach in the coronial process. We also work internationally, often guiding foreign lawyers and corporations through the UK legal system.
Where we need to work alongside lawyers in other jurisdictions, we call upon our international best friend network of law firms to provide local expertise. This helps us ensure we find the right local lawyer for the job thereby keeping cost and indemnity spend down.
