"I have always found them highly effective and efficient in handling claims and a pleasure to work with." - Legal 500, 2021
Accidents
do happen. But in many instances they are the result of negligence and,
should you be the unfortunate victim, you may be
entitled to compensation.
Expert lawyers from our specialist personal injury team in Carlisle and Newcastle can advise you on the merits of your case and help you obtain the right level of compensation, either by negotiation or through the courts if necessary.
Our goal is to support our clients to make the best possible recovery.
We specialise in catastrophic injuries including amputation, brain and spinal injuries. Burnetts is on the recommended solicitors' list of both The Spinal Injuries Association, Headway and the UK Acquired Brain Injury Forum.
"They fully supported us and were sympathetic to our predicament. They have a very strong focus on the personal relationship and they established trust immediately. I feel I have been very well served." - Chambers, 2021
