A personal injury claim seeks compensation when you are hurt because of someone else's negligence, whether in a road accident, at work, in a public place or elsewhere. A barrister can advise you on liability, value your claim including future losses, and represent you in negotiations and at trial.
A barrister will give you a realistic view of the prospects and the likely award, the evidence and medical reports needed, and the time limits that apply. Through Direct Access you can instruct a barrister directly, without going through a solicitor first.
Barristers are regulated by the Bar Standards Board.
