Our client Cpl. Tom Green had a serious accident whilst taking part in a charity bike ride. He talks about his experiences as well as the team from Simpson Millar and how we were able to help.

We’ll make sure you understand exactly what will happen with your claim from start to finish, keeping you updated at every stage of the claims process.
We offer a free initial consultation. A member of our Serious Injury team will talk to you about your accident, the effect it’s had on your life and what we can do to help
A lead Solicitor will be assigned to your case and they will be your main point of contact
If we take on your case, we’ll contact the other party or their insurance company and ask them to admit responsibility for your accident
If the other side accepts full or partial responsibility, we can ask for an early Interim Payment of compensation before the case has settled. This can help you with any financial pressures and pay for urgently needed medical treatment or rehabilitation
We’ll work with independent medical experts to understand the full impact of your injury on your life now and in the future. This will help us know what rehabilitation you need and how much compensation you should get.
We’ll also carry out a thorough investigation and collect evidence to support your claim. This could include witness statements and photographs.
Once a suitable settlement for compensation has been agreed, we’ll make sure you get the money as soon as possible.
"The service and help received from Adele Farnaby and your team has been amazing, second to none. I am truly grateful for all the time and effort you have put in to bring some closure to this issue. We are truly grateful to you all."

Hertfordshire County Council has agreed to conduct a detailed review of how it assesses children with Special Educational Needs or Disabilities (SEND), following a challenge from a father who disagreed with the council's decision not to assess his child. The review will closely examine how these assessments are done to find and fix any problems. This action follows recent reports and concerns about how councils across the country are handling similar assessments, often influenced by budget issues. This review is seen as a positive step towards improving support for children who need extra help.
We are excited to announce that Simpson Millar has acquired NhLex Ltd and its trading name Novum Law
Survivors of sexual abuse at York's prestigious Queen Ethelburga’s School, where child protection officer Alexander Charles Ralls committed numerous offenses, are urged to seek support. Ralls, convicted on various sexual assault charges, abused his position from 2011 to 2015. His conviction follows the jailing of the school’s former owner, Brian Martin, for similar crimes. Simpson Millar’s specialist Abuse Solicitors are assisting victims and encourage others affected to come forward.
We deal with most serious injury claims on a No Win, No Fee agreement, also known as a Conditional Fee Agreement. Please ask us for details.
You can claim compensation for the pain and suffering you’ve experienced and how your injury has affected your life in the short term. You can also claim compensation for the impact your injuries will have on you for the rest of your life. These are called Special Damages.
You can also claim General Damages. General Damages cover any financial losses you’ve had because of your serious injury. This could include:
The cost of a support worker, sometimes called a buddy or enabler, can also be claimed to help you regain the quality of life you had before the accident.
You can also claim for the cost of a private healthcare professional who can organise and manage appointments on your behalf, as well as the cost of a privately funded financial deputy should you need help to manage a large compensation settlement at the end of the case.
The vast majority of the serious injury cases we deal with settle before going to Trial, so it’s very unlikely.
The first and most important aspect of any serious injury case is to gather all of the evidence and experts’ reports on what’s happened to convince the other party’s insurance company to pay the right amount of compensation.
Only in a very small number of cases is that not possible and we have to proceed to a Trial before a Judge.
