Thompsons Solicitors is the largest national specialist personal injury practice in the country with over 800 staff in a network of offices nationwide. Thompsons will only work for an injured member of the public and unlike some other solicitors, will never work for insurance companies or employers. At Thompsons Solicitors, we are also proud to help members of Trade Unions with not only personal injury compensation claims but also with matters relating to employment rights such as pensions, dismissals, discriminations, equal pay and transfer of undertaking (TUPE).

We are unable to help non-union members with employment rights cases and if you are not a Union member, see why you should join a Trade Union link to join the GMB.

Thompsons Solicitors has a reputation for taking aggressive legal action to ensure we secure the maximum amount of compensation in the shortest possible time and secure, over £150 million as personal injury compensation every year for our clients who have been injured in accidents for which they were not at fault.

If Thompsons Solicitors deals with your personal injury compensation claim through your union, or a claim for a member of your family, they will do so on a completely cost-free basis to you, their client. All legal fees are recovered from the person responsible for your personal injury, ensuring that the service is entirely cost-free for you.

The most common personal injury compensation claims we deal with are as a result of:-

• Accidents at Work
• Accidents in a Public Place
• Work-related illnesses or diseases
• Accidents on the Road as a driver, pedestrian, cyclist or passenger
• Clinical or Medical Negligence
• Major Public Disaster.
  

Proud to Work with Trade Unions
