How much compensation can I claim?

However, our team have a wide range of experience making claims of varying complexity, from cases worth thousands to cases worth millions of pounds

How long will a claim take?

Depending on the severity of your claim, the process can take up to a number of years. However, we will work to proceed the claim as quickly as possible to get you the maximum compensation you deserve, with interim payments to help you with any rehabilitation and adaptation costs you may have.
