Insurance and loss claims

We can provide you with legal advice and representation if you have:

  • a claim arising from a loss you suffer as the result of something which someone else should (or should not) have done
  • suffered loss as a result of the carelessness of another person – for example, a negligence claim
  • suffered loss as a result of something a professional has done (or failed to do)
  • an insurance claim.
How we can help

If someone has caused you loss we can help you to:

  • investigate your rights
  • recover your loss from the person who is legally liable.
Dominic Wilson, a partner with more than quarter of a century experience, can provide you with practical advice and assistance in enforcing your legal rights.
 
Dominic is a tough litigator – but he also knows when to settle and is an able negotiator.
 
A broad range of skills
 
Partner Dominic Wilson is assisted by an accomplished team of solicitors, including Julia Sweeney, a senior lawyer who prior to practicing law, worked in the medical / health industry where she qualified as a nurse and gained 7 years clinical experience. Julia has acted in Court actions where her knowledge of medical procedures and ability to source evidence about those procedures has proved invaluable – cases drawing on Julia’s skills as a lawyer, her forensic and investigatory skills and her medical knowledge. 

Julia’s medical background is an example of the broad skills base of our solicitors - something which is an invaluable asset to this firm. Other skills which our lawyers have include:

  • languages: Greek, Arabic, French, German and Italian
  • accounting qualifications
  • experience in farming, business, sport, music, teaching/education, the travel industry, hospitality, government service etc. 
In some cases, we will consider acting on a “no win no fee” basis - conditions apply.
