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 is working on behalf of several new clients who are making cycling accident claims.

Accidents with other cyclists, with motor vehicles or those who have fallen, or crashed due to road surfaces in disrepair are the most frequent reasons provided. More...

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’.

If you have been injured in your current workplace or somewhere you have worked in the last three years, you may be eligible to make a compensation claim. This time period can be longer if it is related to a disease (e.g. respiratory).

BBC news reported that approximately 4.7million people were waiting for routine operations in England in February 2021. 388,000 people waited more than a year for non-urgent surgery.

Being diagnosed with cancer is devastating for you and your family. However, this trauma can be escalated if your cancer was misdiagnosed or diagnosed later than it should have been.

There are over 200 cancer types, so misdiagnosis can sometimes occur. Many cancers share similar symptoms with other illnesses and, as a result, doctors and medical professionals can sometimes make an incorrect diagnosis.

When another disease is misdiagnosed as cancer, the patient may suffer unnecessary painful and emotionally tolling cancer treatment. Additionally, the undiagnosed disease may be left to progress and cause additional health complications.

If you believe medical negligence has resulted in cancer misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, you could be entitled to claim compensation. More...
