Personal Injury Claims
We represent clients injured in accidents not their fault, including workplace incidents, road collisions, and public liability cases. Our solicitors negotiate with insurers to secure compensation covering medical costs, lost income, and rehabilitation needs. With decades of experience, we handle complex cases involving spinal injuries, amputations, and brain trauma, ensuring clients receive full financial support for recovery and lifestyle adjustments.
Medical Negligence Claims
Our specialist team handles misdiagnosis, surgical errors, and birth injury cases against NHS and private providers. We obtain independent medical reports to prove substandard care caused harm, seeking compensation for ongoing treatment, care packages, and lost earnings. Recognised in legal directories, we secure interim payments to cover immediate needs while pursuing full settlements for long-term security.
Court of Protection
We assist families managing finances for loved ones lacking mental capacity due to brain injury or illness. Our solicitors handle deputyship applications, manage property affairs, and create personal injury trusts to protect benefits. With expertise in mental capacity law, we ensure compliance with the Mental Capacity Act while safeguarding clients' financial interests through professional deputyship management.
Birth Injury Claims
Our dedicated birth injury team pursues claims for cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, and hypoxic brain injuries caused by medical errors during childbirth. We work with medical experts to prove negligence led to lifelong disabilities, securing multi-million-pound settlements for specialist care, home adaptations, and educational support. With compassionate support, we guide families through complex legal processes while advocating for improved maternity standards.
Serious Injury Claims
We specialise in life-changing injuries requiring long-term care, including spinal cord damage, severe burns, and multiple fractures. Our solicitors coordinate with medical professionals to document future care needs, securing compensation for rehabilitation, mobility equipment, and psychological support. With a focus on clients' holistic recovery, we ensure settlements address both immediate expenses and lifelong financial security through structured payment arrangements.

Report
Mine was a slightly more complicated one, but I couldn't have been in better hands. The ladies that have handled my case, couldn't have been more caring and compassionate. Emailed or called each step of the way so i was aware of what was going on. After a long journey, it has now been concluded and the outcome has been successful

A solicitor from this firm handled my son's claim for compensation after he was involved in a car accident. She was extremely professional, efficient, and above all, caring. Highly recommended!

Honestly made such a stressful situation seem easy to deal with, after a long 3 years got my desired outcome eventually, Fletchers was there when I needed them every step of the process. Couldn't thank them enough, they were a pleasure to deal with from day one right up untill the closure over 3 years later.
