Personal Injury Solicitors in Bridgwater

Bridgwater is a market town in Somerset between junctions 23 and 24 of the M5, with a history of brick and tile works, shipbuilding and railway engineering and a training hub for workers at the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station. Personal injury claims in Bridgwater can follow road accidents involving drivers, cyclists or pedestrians, slips and trips on pavements or in shops and accidents at work on construction sites, in warehouses or in factories. Solicitors also handle industrial disease, serious injury, child injury and fatal accident claims for bereaved families.

Claims are usually funded with a no-win, no-fee agreement. If the claim succeeds, a success fee is deducted from the compensation, up to the maximum set in the agreement, and the client normally pays nothing if it fails. Claims must usually be started within three years, although for industrial disease the period can run from when the illness is first linked to work.

A solicitor can gather evidence, arrange medical reports and deal with the insurer or employer.
