John here, blogging again and looking at “injury awareness week” that has just passed. Injury Awareness Week 23-29th June 2025   What is injury awareness week? Injury Awareness Week took place on the 23rd-29th June 2025. This was organized by APIL, the association of personal injury lawyers, www.apil.com  This is…

Rebecca here. It’s been a very long time since I wrote a blog – it got me thinking about where to start, so this is Your Guide To The Personal Injury Claim Process. Then I realised, that must be exactly how someone seriously injured in an accident must feel when…

John Ibbotson of Ibbotson Brady Solicitors comments: On the 12th of February 2015, the MOJ (Ministry of Justice) announced that new measures had been passed into law in the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015 which aims to further tackle the perceived, and in some cases real, problem of insurance fraud….
