AO Solicitors provides personal injury legal services for those who have sustained serious injury. Our specialist personal injury legal services team will aim to help you access financial support as quickly as possible, especially if your injuries have left you unable to work.

You have heard the slogan, “where there’s blame there’s a claim”. But it is a bit more complicated than that. You need law, evidence and a solvent defendant. There are special laws for aviation, traffic, deaths, buildings, criminals, goods and workplaces, but generally you need to prove somebody who was supposed to look after you was careless and you were injured as a result.

Unfortunately it is ruthlessly based on money. The way the law sees it, if you knock down a stockbroker who needs nursing for the rest of his life you will owe him millions, if you run over and kill a child that ran out in front of you then you would be able to sue the parents for the cost of removing their child’s flesh from your radiator grille.

It is not like the USA where juries punish companies with multi billion awards. Here you have to prove your loss, which may be earnings, nursing, pain and loss of “amenity”, ie fun.

The stronger your case and the bigger the defendant the more likely an insurer will fund you through any existing insurance or a new legal expenses insurance we can arrange.

Cases can be against almost anyone, such as an employer, tour operator, airline, driver, criminal hospital, abuser, council or event organiser.
