Medical Accident Group: The best advice when you need it most

We believe that everyone should have access to the best legal advice, and that is just what we provide.

We work on a “no win, no fee” basis because we understand that the costs of making a claim may put people off, so that many don’t get the pay-outs they deserve.

With the Medical Accident Group, initial consultations with our expert solicitors are free and we are happy to visit you at home or in hospital. Unlike many other firms, we also examine medical records free of charge.

We can then discuss your case in detail, and let you know if we believe you have grounds for compensation. It’s important to us that you are well-informed every step of the way – we will always be clear about the financial options for you and your case, and we will help you to decide what’s right for you.

We work on a ‘No Win, No Fee’ Basis
