Personal injury

Penningtons has a wealth of experience in handling personal injury cases, including those resulting from road traffic accidents, incidents at work and accidents overseas.

If you or a member of your family has suffered an accident or injury which has been caused in part or in full by someone else, you may wish to consider pursuing a claim for compensation. The personal injury group at Penningtons is regarded as one of the leading specialist teams in the UK and we have clients nationwide. Chambers Guide to the UK Legal Profession and the Legal 500, the two main legal directories, have rated us as one of the top teams in the South and we are known for particular expertise in complex and multiple injury cases.

Members of the team are on the referral panel for the Law Society as personal injury specialists. We are accredited by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers and our lawyers’ expertise is recognised by Headway and the Spinal Injuries Association.

We provide advice to a range of individuals and employees. We are experienced in dealing with claims for children and those who lack capacity due to injury.

We also have well-established relationships with medical experts and other experts in a wide variety of relevant fields, such as accident reconstruction, engineering and rehabilitation. We analyse the often highly complex issues carefully and aim to ensure you understand the advice given. We focus on communicating with our clients and their families and working through the case on a step by step basis.

While we believe that negotiated resolutions are almost always desirable, if litigation culminating in a case going to court becomes inevitable, we view it as a framework for devising a satisfactory solution for our clients.
