Personal Injury Solicitors in Hackney

Hackney is a district of east London in the London Borough of Hackney, crossed by the A10 along the line of the Roman Ermine Street, with busy shopping streets at Mare Street and Dalston. Personal injury claims in Hackney can follow road accidents involving drivers, cyclists or pedestrians, slips and trips at stations, on pavements or in shops and accidents at work in retail, hospitality or on building sites. 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 taken 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 of the accident.

A solicitor can collect evidence, obtain medical reports and negotiate with the insurer. They can also help arrange rehabilitation or interim payments where needed.
