As our Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence team continue to support International Brain Tumour Awareness Week, we have prepared a simple guide explaining what you can expect, should you find yourself in the position of having to seek legal advice relating to the misdiagnosis, delay or difficulties experienced with treatment of a brain tumour.

Today is National Burns Awareness Day, a day to raise awareness of burns victims across the country. Children’s Burns Trust works alongside the British Burns Association to raise awareness and grow the momentum of the National Burn Awareness Day each year. This year’s theme is #BeBurnsAware. A burn injury is for life.

The Legal 500's results for 2022 have been announced and we're extremely proud to have ranked in 9 practice areas (Employment, Corporate & Commercial, Commercial Litigation, Commercial Property, Family, Personal Tax, Trusts and Probate, Contentious Probate, Clinical Negligence and Personal Injury) up one more than last year.

After 4 years of speculation, the government have now confirmed that fixed recoverable costs will be introduced for most civil cases worth up to £25,000 in the fast track. The fast track will be expanded to include ‘intermediate’ cases valued between £25,000 and £100,000 in damages, therefore extending fixed costs to ‘simpler’ valued up to £100,000.

In our final blog for #NationalRoadVictimMonth, we are focusing on the importance of rehabilitation following a crash. If you or a family member is involved in a crash, this can have a huge impact on every aspect of life, including caring for children, work and finances.

As we continue to support National Road Victim Month, we have created a small guide of what to expect when initiating a claim after becoming a road victim.

​Throughout August it is National Road Victim Month and it is important to shed light on individuals injured/killed by accidents on the road. This awareness month is supported by the charity RoadPeace and they are campaigning to raise awareness by using the hashtag #CrashNotAccident.

August is recognised as being the month in which the most road fatalities occur, coinciding with school holidays and more people being on the roads.
