Personal Injury
Getting the result you deserve
What is involved?
If you or someone you know has been injured or has died in an accident at work, a road traffic or cycling accident, or you are the victim of a crime of violence you need advice from our experienced Personal Injury Team.
We can work quickly and effectively to achieve just and fair compensation for you. Our Personal Injury Lawyers have proven legal-services in obtaining the best results for our clients in all types of injury claims.
Where a serious injury means a client does not have the ability to manage their own financial affairs, we can advise both on the investment of compensation through setting up a personal injury trust, and future management of their money by our Court of Protection team.

Notable Work
- Within the last twelve months we have attracted a number of catastrophic injury cases all of which are new. Three of these cases have values exceeding £4 million, they are children with traumatic brain/spinal cord injuries with significant values.
- Jane Goulding is well known nationally for her Claimant brain injury and spinal cord injury work for children and adults. At the current time she has eleven cases with values exceeding £3 million. Two cases settled last year one for £12 million and one with a capitalised value of over £12 million.
- Jane acted on a case where the claimant was seriously injured in a road traffic accident. There were complexities with regard to the accident circumstances, but eventually judgement was obtained against the defendant. Interim payments were obtained on a regular basis either voluntarily or by Court Order to enable a rehabilitation programme to be put in place to assist the claimant to assist him moving from residential accommodation into his own property, with a full care package, aids and equipments. This resulted in a final settlement in the case of £5 million (before the change in discount rate).
- Jane acted on a case where the file was transferred from another firm of solicitors, as the family had lost faith and trust in them. Her client had sustained serious brain injury as a result of an accident with a child. The previous firm had obtained a huge number of interim payments – so much that it was difficult to persuade the defendants to pay further interim payments which made obtaining rehab for this claimant difficult.
- A dependency claim arising out of a road traffic fatal accident, pleaded in excess of £1 million.
- A brain injury case arising from a fall into a pub cellar which settled in excess of £1 million.
- An accident at work causing significant foot and ankle injuries which settled for £261,000.
- A claim arising out of building site accident resulting in significant foot injuries and toe amputation which settled for £212,500.
- Secured compensation of £1 million for a client who suffered catastrophic brain injuries and physical injuries as a result of an accident at work. This enabled the client to adapt their home and have a bespoke care package in place to relieve the pressure from their relatives.
- Obtained a settlement in excess of £860,000 for a client who suffered permanent physical and psychological problems following a road traffic accident which included an award for alternative accommodation and adaptations.
- Secured an award in excess of £230,000 from the CICA for a childhood abuse case.
- Secured a compensation award in excess of £205,000 for a client who sustained physical injuries whilst abroad on a package holiday.
