Strength in numbers

Group claims

The old adage that there’s strength in numbers is demonstrated perfectly when it comes to group actions. Many clients who approach us with an individual claim are pleased to hear they’re not alone, that they can benefit from sharing their experience with a group and of course, the added strength that gives to their case. Irwin Mitchell has been a leading light in group actions for the last 30 years, and is behind many of the most notable successful claims of recent times. Much of our work has challenged precedents and instigated changes in the law, not only in the UK but across the world, using the strength of a group action to best effect.

Stronger together

An alarming report by a parliamentary watchdog committee suggests that up to 100,000 hospital patients fall victim to some form of the MRSA ‘superbug’ infection every year, and that 5,000 of them die. When you consider numbers on that scale, you understand the power of working together in groups to make your case stronger.

The strength of group action doesn’t only come in a firmer argument, based on a volume of evidence rather than the accounts of an individual, but it means sharing costs, pressure and stress. People involved in group actions benefit from the opportunity to share court costs and the stress inevitably involved in mounting a legal case, although of course we do all we can to alleviate the burden on you.

Both the financial and emotional support of peers can be invaluable in group cases, especially those that relate to especially tragic circumstances. Of course, you’ll also have all the support you need from us, including access to counselling ad support services.
