Platt & Fishwick Solicitors

We understand how traumatic even the most minor accident can be and that the rules and processes involved in securing proper compensation can seem daunting. Our expertise and emphasis on communication with clients means you will be taken through the process in a straightforward way with the minimum of fuss.

We have many years' experience in pursuing cases using Conditional Fee Agreements (commonly known as "no win no fee" agreements) and were amongst the first solicitors in Wigan to do so following reforms introduced some years ago now. "No win no fee" personal injury claims are the norm these days and the relevant regulations say that the maximum deduction a solicitor may take is 25%. However, this is a maximum deducted and not a fixed or necessarily a standard figure, although some solicitors might proceed on the basis that it is. In some more difficult cases, the maximum deduction might be justified but we are always prepared to consider what might be an appropriate figure in each individual case.

All accident claims are handled by Mark Richardson. Mark has been a personal injury solicitor for over 30 years and has vast experience of pursuing all kinds of claim. He is a member of the Solicitors Regulation Authority Personal Injury Accreditation Scheme (Law Society Personal Injury Panel) and is a member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (being accredited as a Senior Litigator).

We offer a free initial consultation which can be at our Wigan or Standish Office or at home if need be. If you have been injured as a result of an accident, speak with us, even if you are not sure whether you might have a claim.

We are willing to discuss fixed fees for a case, or for one or more of the key stages set out below, depending upon the particular circumstances of the matter.
