What types of personal injury claims do you handle?
We handle all types of accident compensation claims including road traffic accidents, medical negligence, asbestos exposure, horse riding accidents, dog bites, workplace injuries and slip/fall incidents.
How much compensation could I receive for my injury?
Compensation amounts depend on injury severity and impact on your life. Our solicitors have secured settlements ranging from £5,000 for minor injuries to £500,000+ for serious, life-changing injuries.
What is your No Win No Fee policy?
If your claim is unsuccessful, you pay nothing. We only charge a success fee (capped at 25% by law) if we win your case and secure compensation for you.
How long will my claim take to resolve?
Simple cases typically settle within 6-12 months, while complex cases involving serious injuries or disputed liability may take 18-24 months to reach fair settlement.
Can I claim if the accident was partially my fault?
Yes, you may still claim even if partly responsible. We'll assess your case's circumstances and work to establish the other party's liability proportion under contributory negligence principles.

Thank you to Shaw and Co who managed my claim against Northumberland County Council even after they managed to avoid blame for nearly 4 years. If you want to get the job done I highly recommend.

I rate this firm 1 star as it took a long time for them to send my partner a pack to fill out and then when my partner returned the pack to them there was no contact from them I rang several times & asked for a call back with a up date and you get told someone will call you back with a update by the end of the day and nothing still nearly 2 weeks on

Report
Following the loss of my 18 year old daughter in a car crash, Shaw and Co. gave my family invaluable legal advice and support. We had suffered a severe trauma which we struggled to deal with so we were grateful for the very professional way Shaw and Co guided us through the legal process and successfully claimed for damages. At all times they respected the trauma we were coping with and avoided causing us any further stress. All the other professionals they referred us to were highly skilled and very experienced in their field.
