Our client Nicky's car was hit by a lorry at 55mph, which failed to stop at the scene of the accident. The back seat passenger was fatally injured and she was left with physical and emotional trauma. Our team helped her through this distressing time to recover compensation and move forward with her life.

    Rehabilitation Code 2015

    When you or someone close to you is seriously injured, there are a number of initial concerns that will run through your head. Mainly around how you are going to cope financially with the cost of rehabilitation. 

    Once a personal injury claim has commenced, there is the option of getting an interim payment from the defendant (usually through the other party’s insurer), but this can be a slow and laborious process. In the meantime, bills need to be paid and further health care is needed. This is where the 2015 Rehabilitation Code comes in.

    Click here for more insight as to how the Code focuses on the use of rehabilitation and early intervention and investigations with a view to helping you recover quicker.

    19-04-2022 /

    In 2021, it was estimated that around 12.5 million dogs are being kept as pets in the UK, a significant jump from the previous year. The popular explanation for the sudden increase is the coronavirus pandemic and lockdowns, which forced people to stay at home. Indeed, more than 3 million UK households are thought to have bought a pet during the pandemic so there could be some truth in this idea.
