Hilary Meredith Solicitors is based in Wilmslow, Cheshire, and was formed by Hilary Meredith, a highly experienced solicitor, and an expert in traumatic injury compensation claims for over 20 years.

Hilary works alongside a number of highly qualified and knowledgeable colleagues, and the firm is supported by an impressive range of independent medical, financial and specialist legal experts, pensions advisers - even architects who design homes for those with mobility problems.

Hilary Meredith Solicitors also has excellent and long-established links with Social Services, Local Authorities, special needs providers and care associations for those with physical and mental disabilities - all of whom we can call upon to help support the injured person.

Working on behalf of members of the public and military personnel, Hilary Meredith Solicitors aims to provide a comprehensive, caring service based not simply on offering legal services, but on answering the long-term physical and emotional needs of the injured individual, their family and loved ones.

Traumatic injury and severe accidents change lives forever. For the victim, nothing will ever be the same again; for family and friends, the shock can be equally traumatic, leaving behind grief, anger and a sense of helplessness. At Hilary Meredith, they take a holistic approach to our services, providing long-term support which satisfies the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of all those concerned.

Their first priority is to provide support and encouragement at a time of hurt and loss; at the same time, though, they offer practical help, planning a long-term life strategy designed to restore the injured person's quality of life and maximum independence through rehabilitation, mobility and satisfaction of special needs.

And, of course, they seek compensation on behalf of the victim, aiming for a sum which takes into accounts all circumstances, past, present and future.

Combine these elements together, and you have a very special, caring service which is, uniquely, Hilary Meredith's.

Hilary Meredith specialise in helping people whose injures are catastrophic, which means serious, life-changing and often permanent injuries requiring long hospital stays, plus radical changes to future lifestyle, mobility, professional care - and earning ability. Their services include:

1. Immediate action

When you first contact them, they will meet you in hospital or at home. In the short-term, and subject to negotiated agreement with the party at fault, they can:

1. Transfer the injured individual from hospital to a specialist rehabilitation unit

2. Appoint a Case Manager to oversee treatment

3. Instruct medical experts, on a private basis, to advise on treatment and prognosis

2. Pursuing a claim for compensation

The injuries suffered by the individual may warrant a claim for compensation, which they will pursue, aiming to prove liability, and recovering a sum sufficient to cover the current and future needs of the individual, taking into account a wide range of issues:

1. An amount for the injury itself - for pain and suffering, plus loss of amenity

2. The need for constant care - to cover costs of past care by relatives or friends, plus future permanent care

3. The sufferer's past losses - including loss of earnings, out-of-pocket expenses, and personal effects damaged in the accident

4. The sufferer's loss of future earning capacity - future loss of earnings for life, if employment is impossible. If the individual can work, but with a disability, they can claim loss on the open market if employment is lost when competing with able-bodied applicants.

5. Others' past losses - an award to friends and family for out-of-pocket expenses, extra travel, loss of earnings or provision of care

6. Loss of mobility and the need for suitable accommodation - if there are mobility problems, and adapted or new accommodation is needed, they can pursue a claim sufficient for new housing

3. Long-term support

As well as representing during the compensation claim, they will provide long-term help after the case has settled, developing a life plan for the injured individual through liaison with hospitals, local authorities and welfare agencies - and by obtaining the best in treatment, rehabilitation, and adapted housing.

Claims against the Ministry of Defence for an accident at work

Like any other employer, the MOD is responsible for the safety of their employees. Unlike many other employees however, MOD personnel are often placed in dangerous situations during their working day where one wrong move can mean severe injury or even death.

Whilst you cannot sue the MOD for injuries sustained in a combat situation, the MOD are subject to the same duties that all employers have, to provide their employees with a safe system of work including sufficient, adequate and accurate training, supervision, equipment and competent colleagues.

Due to the inherently dangerous nature of the work service personnel are involved in, when things do go wrong there are often catastrophic consequences.

Cases can include:

Aviation, parachuting, weapons, chemicals, specialist equipment, buildings, vehicles, machinery, training exercises, mountaineering, sports instruction, jungle warfare training, medical treatment, drugs and faulty products.

Injury overseas

Service personnel and their families can be posted anywhere in the world. Legal systems vary from country to country and in the USA from State to State. Specialist legal advice is necessary from lawyers who have experience of litigation in foreign countries.

Criminal Injuries Compensation (Overseas) Scheme

This scheme was introduced specifically to compensate military personnel for injuries where they have been victims of crimes of violence should they have been assaulted whilst posted overseas. It ensures they receive compensation on a level with those injured as a result of a crime of violence in this country.
