Leading North West Personal Injury Lawyers

Expert Personal Injury Lawyers based in Bolton

A serious injury is a life-changing event, which affects not only the injured person, but also close family and friends.

If you, or someone you care about, has been injured in an accident, you may have a case for compensation, but it’s essential that you choose the right legal team to help you.

National expertise on your doorstep

Serious Law is one of the truly specialist legal firms in the UK with the skills and experience to secure maximum, multi-million pound serious injury compensation awards for clients and their families. Unlike most of the well-known law firms, we work exclusively on serious injury cases, so we have built up a wealth of knowledge and expertise in this complex area of law.

Working from our offices in Bolton, our legal teams have secured some of the largest multi-million pound compensation awards across England and Wales in cases involving spinal cord injuries, acquired brain injuries, amputation, cerebral palsy, serious assault and fatalities.

Recognised as a leading firm in the Legal 500, we’ve also gained many top accreditations from leading national charities, such as the spinal cord injury charity Back Up, and acquired brain injury charity Headway.

Unsure who was at fault?

Even if you are unsure about whether you have a case, it is still worth seeking specialist legal advice as soon as possible after the injury. The cause of an accident isn’t always obvious and can involve complex circumstances.

Many people do not try to seek compensation for their injuries, because they think they may have been partly to blame, or at fault themselves. Serious Law has acted for many clients in Bolton, who were uncertain about whether they had a case, until they spoke to us.

In most difficult liability cases, we were able to secure substantial compensation awards, which took account of our clients’ future care and financial needs, including transport adaptation, housing, lifestyle, physiotherapy and other rehabilitation considerations, case management and emotional support.

Proud of our Bolton heritage

Serious Law is proud to be part of the fabric of the local community. We are patrons of Bolton Lads & Girls’ Club, which has been adopted by the government as the national model for the Onside Youth Zones that are being rolled out across the country. This partnership between government and the private sector offers young people state-of-the-art leisure facilities and the opportunity to develop to their full potential.

Since 1993, Serious Law has been the founding and lead sponsor of Bolton Beer Festival, which raises funds for Bolton Lads & Girls’ Club. From modest beginnings, this festival has grown in stature to be one of the key events in the Bolton calendar.

Serious Law works with Bolton’s Victim Support Unit, offering legal advice to seriously injured people. We have recently arranged the redecoration of the Witness Suite at Bolton Magistrate’s Court in order to help make witnesses feel less vulnerable and more comfortable during their visit to the Court.

We are members of Bolton Law Society and provide pro bono support and charitable donations to a range of charities in the Bolton area. This is in addition to our work with a number of leading national charities, such as Back Up, the spinal cord injury charity, where we are their premium corporate partner.
