Fentons Solicitors are one of the Country’s leading Claimant Personal Injury solicitors recovering tens of millions of pounds worth of compensation for accident victims every year.

Fentons Solicitors has built its reputation by ensuring that Personal Injury Claimants can have access to justice with peace of mind knowing that they will not be out of pocket whether they win or lose.

Unlike many Personal Injury law firms, Fentons does not accept instructions from Accident Management companies or allow its clients to enter into punitive loan agreements or other funding arrangements that leave the client out of pocket.

Fentons commitment to client care and to technical excellence is in stark contrast to many organisations who operate in the personal injury litigation field. Fentons have solicitors specialising in every field of personal injury work handling cases from routine accidents at work, road traffic accidents, to injuries of the utmost severity that involve complex programmes of rehabilitation and long term care.

Fentons commitment to every client is to maximise your compensation, to expedite the litigation process, and to ensure every client keeps every penny of the compensation awarded.

Any client who instructs Fentons to pursue a personal injury claim, can do so with complete peace of mind knowing that our legal costs are recovered on top of the compensation we win for you.

In the event that your case is unsuccessful, you do not pay anything.

Client recommendation remains our most important source of work, reflecting our success in maximising damages for the victims of accidents nationwide. Fentons & Co Solicitors

Personal Injury Claims & Advice

When someone suffers a serious injury, it is devastating for them and those who care about them most. In the early days after an accident, the future is uncertain and this causes anxiety. There can be a long stay in hospital with friends and family travelling there to visit to encourage recovery. Finances can be stretched; there may be worries about work.

If the injury was caused by someone else, compensation is likely to be available. Instructing a solicitor with the right experience as soon as possible is the important first step in the compensation process.

Wolferstans offer their experience of serious injury cases including:

* Free initial interview to give basic advice
* Awareness of the impact of such an injury on your life
* Willingness to travel to meet you when appropriate
* Access to experts whose input will be needed to ensure you receive the right compensation
* Negotiation to achieve a settlement
* Preparation of cases for trial if settlement at a sum fair to you is not offered.

There are a number of methods of funding available. We will explain these things to you at the free initial meeting. In most cases most or all of the legal costs are paid for by the insurance company of the person who caused the accident.

A compensation claim cannot be rushed through. The extent of your recovery has to be monitored; you will have important decisions to make about your future. These decisions take time. Your claim progresses as your life progresses. In many cases it is possible for us to obtain interim payments, often surprisingly quickly, to relieve financial pressures and to help you build your recovery. If it becomes necessary to start court proceedings, this must normally be done within three years of the accident although there are exceptions to this.

* The firm's expertise in the most high-profile matters was demonstrated when it was appointed solicitor to the Hutton Inquiry.
* The firm was also appointed to act as solicitor to the Morris Inquiry, into professional standards and employment matters in the Metropolitan Police Service.
* The firm successfully acted for a number of power companies in judicial review proceedings brought against Ofgem. This was the first ever successful claim against Ofgem. Wolferstans Solicitors

Experts
The consequences of an accident can be at best irritating, but at worst devastating. We have a team of experts who:

• Specialise in handling claims for compensation.
• Understand the procedures involved.
• Know how to deal with insurance companies and other lawyers.
• Can use their expertise to help you.
• Can be trusted to give you independent advice.

Compensation
You may be able to recover compensation for:

• The injury itself.
• Pain and inconvenience
• An illness or disease caused by someone else
• Financial loss, e.g. Loss of earnings
• Money you have spent, e.g. car hire, travel expenses, holiday deposits, damaged belongings or clothing.

In fact, for almost any loss or cost arising out of an accident or mishap.

Accidents
What is involved?

First we need to see you to obtain details of the accident and your injuries, what happened and who was involved, so that we can advise you on whether you have a claim, and if so for what.

Then we contact the insurance company involved and any other relevant body, e.g. the police, your employer, possible witnesses, your doctor, to build up a complete picture of all the relevant information.

Then we try to settle your claim with the other party's insurers. Sometimes it may be necessary to issue court proceedings. We aim to get the best possible compensation for you.

Courts/Litigation/Suing
Most claims for compensation from accidents are settled with insurance companies. Very few require the issue of court proceedings and even fewer end up with a trial in court. We will discuss what is involved with you, and advise you about court proceedings if they are necessary.

When to claim
The sooner a claim is made the better.

If court proceedings are necessary, they must have begun within three years of the accident or injury, or of you knowing you have an injury or disease, and within six years if no illness or injury is involved.

Insurance
Almost all drivers, employers, property owners and local authorities are insured; therefore your claim is most likely to be met by an insurance company and not by an individual or company.

Even if the other party is not insured, or is a business which has gone bust, or a driver who has disappeared, or an individual who simply appears to have no money, a claim may still be possible.

The Cost
Where your claim is successful, most, if not all of your legal expenses will be paid by the other party's insurance company. In any event you may be entitled to Legal Aid or have an insurance policy to help you or qualify for our Conditional Fee (sometimes called "no win no fee") scheme.

We will explore the possibilities with you, advise you of any risks and what scheme would be best for you.
