Suffered a personal injury? Ian Taylor says legal help could be at hand for CSP members.
When CSP’s vice-chair of council Philip Hulse was knocked flying from his bicycle by a careless car driver in 2014, he suffered head and leg injuries requiring a four-month absence from work. Philip turned straight away to CSP solicitors Thompsons in order to begin the process of making a personal injury claim.
‘Thompsons were there for me right from the start,’ he said. ‘They secured me an interim payment to help offset my loss of income from not being able to work additional hours on call while off sick and during my phased return. The solicitor assigned to my case was really professional, caring and empathic.’
Two years later, and Philip has just learned that his claim has been settled, avoiding the need for a court hearing, and he has received a five-figure sum in compensation.
One of the most experienced personal injury law firms in the country, Thompsons has more than 90 years’ expertise in pursuing and settling claims. Gerard Stilliard , the firm’s head of personal injury, told Frontline: ‘We explain the nature of your claim in clear language and keep you totally informed from start to finish. No unnecessary jargon, no unpleasant surprises – we put you in control. Plus we act only for the injured and mistreated, and never for insurance companies, employers or big corporations, so we’re totally committed to securing the best possible outcome for clients in the shortest possible time.’
Philip agrees. ‘The CSP arranges and funds the entire process makes accessing the service really straightforward. I would recommend Thompsons to any CSP member who has received a personal injury of any kind. I’m grateful to Thompsons for the very efficient manner in which they negotiated the settlement.’
If you are injured at work or outside work and feel that another party may be to blame, contact Thompsons’ legal helpline. Tel 0800 587 7519.
