A routine ride and a lasting injury: The importance of expert legal help

After leaving an abusive marriage, our client was devastated to discover she had been excluded from her late husband’s will, leaving her financially vulnerable and isolated. Our contentious probate team brought a claim under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 and successfully negotiated a settlement that provided her with security and closure, enabling her to move forward with dignity and return home to care for her mother.

Securing justice for a teenage road traffic accident victim

When a 14-year-old boy was seriously injured in a road traffic accident in 2022, his family turned to us for help. What followed was a complex case where the key issue was not who caused the crash, but whether the young passenger was wearing his seatbelt.
