You may be entitled to compensation for personal injury or professional negligence. Click on the red button to contact us
If you have been in a car accident, or other road accident, you may have injuries from bruises to broken bones, whiplash, shock, or something more serious. Your injury may have required time off work, affecting your income and standard of living.
If you have suffered an accident at work, the decision to bring a claim can be a difficult one. In most cases this will be against your employer but it may be a complaint levelled at a fellow employee or worker from another company or contractor.
A slip, trip or fall can be distressing and can cause serious injury. All shops, workplaces, restaurants and other public and private venues or associations have a duty to ensure their premises are safe for visitors, customers and the general public.
If you suffered an injury and your claim was settled by a law firm in the last six years, you may feel your lawyer settled the claim too soon; for too little; they deducted fees which surprised you or felt too high; or your claim was not dealt with properly.
If you have suffered an injury through any other type of accident you may be entitled to compensation. We have a non-exhaustive list of the types of accidents we have experience in and you will only deal with a qualified solicitor from day one at NV Legal.
Accidents, claims and injuries come in all different shapes and sizes. If you have had an accident in the past six years and you feel that your claim was not dealt with properly, you may be entitled to a claim. Contact us for a free initial consultation.
