PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS
Carew Lawyers specialises in acting for injured people on a No Win No Fee basis in personal injury claims of all types, including:
• Workers Compensation claims

Personal Injury Claims are complicated and strict time limits apply to bringing claims. Expert legal advice is required at a very early stage to ensure that injuries are properly assessed and you receive your full entitlement to compensation.
Please see below for more information about our specialty areas.
NO-WIN NO-FEE
We also conduct all personal injury claims on a No Win No Fee basis.
Acting for you on a No Win No Fee basis means that we will carry the cost of our fees, and in most cases the legal and medical outlays, until the conclusion of the claim. This is subject to the terms of our client agreement.
That is, our clients pay nothing to pursue their claim unless they are successful!
