Personal Injury

If you have suffered injury/financial loss as a result of being involved in an accident that wasn’t your fault in the past three years you may be entitled to recover compensation. Here at Emmott Snell & Co we understand that making the decision to bring a personal injury claim and embark on litigation can be both stressful and daunting. In recognising this we offer a professional, efficient and sympathetic approach to our clients by providing the fullest advice in easy to understand and simple language. By using our considerable skills and wealth of experience we will support you every step of the way. We pride ourselves on a personal service and we are dedicated to maximising our client’s damages to ensure proper recognition and recompense for injury.

Even if you feel you may have been somewhat to blame you may still wish to contact us to discuss any potential claim you may have.

If your claim is successful you may be entitled to recover compensation (“damages”) for your illness/injury. You may also be able to seek reimbursement for past and future loss of earnings, care, damage to property and general expenses.

How your claim can be funded

We can offer “no win no fee” agreements (known as conditional fee agreements) backed by an insurance policy so as to safeguard you against costs. This means that if your claim is unsuccessful you pay us nothing; if you are successful the other party pays your costs. If you think you may have the benefit of legal expenses insurance we will correspond with your relevant insurer to determine if they are agreeable to underwrite your costs. However you are funded it is our policy not to make deductions from our client’s damages and you can be assured that you will receive 100% compensation.

On receiving your instructions we will quickly identify who is liable for your accident and if necessary arrange immediate treatment and rehabilitation.
