One of the few benefits of lockdown was the huge increase in the numbers of us taking to our bikes to exercise and travel around our local areas on two wheels.
For some it meant going into the garden shed or garage to find the bikes that might have been left unridden for months, maybe years in some circumstances, whilst for others it was a case of going online to buy new bikes or first bikes for the younger members of the family.
There were a lot more of us taking to the roads, bike paths and tracks and inevitably, there was an increase in the number of accidents taking place.

Our Personal Injury department has received an influx of new cases from employees who have been made redundant or let go by their employers. Many of them did not previously want to pursue making a claim against their employer about an accident they had suffered in work, due to fear of ‘rocking the boat’.

Saturday 10th October is World Mental Health Day.
It is important to remember that mental health problems can affect anyone. More and more awareness is given to mental health, however, it is clear that some individuals in the wider community still do not understand its seriousness.

Lockdown has had a huge impact on us all, many of us have not seen loved ones in months, employees are required to work from home where possible, numerous employees remain on furlough leave and now local lockdown restrictions are being implemented.
As a result, there is a need for employers in the current climate, to understand how to manage their employees’ mental health within the workplace.
World Mental Health Day 2020 has never been so important. More...
