Nelsons is one of the largest firms in the East Midlands specialising in Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence claims. We have a national reputation and are recommended by the Legal 500 – the clients’ guide to the legal profession – which highlights our expertise in handling claims for severe brain injuries, and particularly when they are sustained by children.
Our team embraces nationally recognised figures on specialist panels including The Law Society Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence Accreditation Schemes.
In addition, the team has members of The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers, The College of Personal Injury Lawyers and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine. The firm is also accredited by the Legal Services Commission to undertake clinical negligence work.
Each of our lawyers deals exclusively with claims on behalf of injured people, giving us an unrivalled breadth of knowledge, experience and expertise in this field, which is vital in ensuring that all our clients’ claims are prepared and presented in the best possible way.
We have particular expertise of cases of a catastrophic nature which enables us to assess the appropriate level of compensation and advise on securing the maximum awards for our clients in the shortest possible time. We have also earned a reputation for taking on and winning difficult and complex, high value cases.
Head of Department, Bruce Williams is recognised by the Legal 500 as a leading individual in his field with a reputation for acting for children suffering from both acquired and traumatic severe brain injury, including birth injury claims.
The team as a whole is currently handling over 20 brain injury claims involving children and last year alone recovered well over £10 million for clients in such cases.
Our experience has enabled us to establish a network of specialist therapists and other professionals who are highly experienced in child brain injury cases who can help to both overcome and minimise the effects on the survivor and his or her family, and maximise the amount of compensation our clients will receive.
We can also offer an in-house service for applications to the Court of Protection in serious cases where our clients are or will be unable to manage their financial affairs and provide independent investment advice through our financial advisers who are familiar with the investment needs of brain injury survivors.
Our team of specialist lawyers look after our clients as well as their claim, guiding and informing them throughout the process and doing the best we can to give them the best result possible.
Where appropriate we will secure interim payments for treatment which may be able to assist with our clients’ recovery.
