Thanks to our team of dedicated, highly experienced accident claims solicitors we are able to provide expert legal advice, informing you of the best course of action and likely outcome of your case. In many cases, we can usually come to a compensation agreement without the case going to court.

Because accident claim cases can vary depending on the circumstances of the accident and the severity of your injury, Irwin Mitchell will asses your case on an individual basis. If you decide to pursue a claim for compensation then our specialist legal teams will work diligently to secure a fair settlement appropriate to your injuries.

Irwin Mitchell's experienced legal team have built an enviable reputation for dealing with all the common types of accident claim, so if you are unsure as to whether to instigate legal action, contact us today for a free initial consultation today.

Some of the most common types of accident claim, for which compensation is usually paid out, include:

• Industrial or work accident

  If you have been injured at work and the accident was not your fault, you may be able to bring an accident claim against your employer or the person/organisation responsible. If it can be proved that a third-party was responsible for your injuries then Irwin Mitchell could help you secure a fair and appropriate compensation settlement.

• Slips, trips or falls in a public place

  Slipping or falling over in a public place is another common type of accident claim with which Irwin Mitchell has vast experience. We will be able to advise you as to the best course of action when bringing an accident claim against a council or local authority (who generally own and maintain many of the public walkways in the UK) or the landowner.

  If your accident was caused by a third party’s failure to maintain a road, pavement or other public place, you could be entitled to make a compensation claim and receive financial remuneration depending on the severity of your injury.

• Road traffic accidents

  There are over 250,000 road traffic accidents in the UK every year, resulting in round 3,500 deaths. Many thousands more receive physical or mental injuries as a result of the negligent actions of a third party. If you have suffered injuries after being involved in a road traffic accident then contact Irwin Mitchell today. Our specialist accident claims’ solicitors have a wealth of experience in securing compensation for individuals who have been injured on the roads, whilst cycling or using footpaths and pavements.

• Injuries sustained abroad

  Accidents that occur abroad or whilst on holiday can often be a scary and uncomfortable time for you and your family. We represent clients who have been involved in accidents or have suffered illnesses whilst holidaying in the UK or overseas.

  No two holiday accident claims are the same, so our team of specialist lawyers will take your case on an individual basis, covering claims such road, air and sea travel accidents, sporting accidents, trips, falls and even illnesses or general holiday complaints.
