We understand that pursuing legal action for an injury can be financially daunting. That’s why we offer ‘no win, no fee’ legal services for injury matters when appropriate. This arrangement is available in cases where we believe your claim has a reasonable likelihood of success.
What can I do?
Ensure your immediate safety and well-being.
Seeking medical attention is crucial, not only for your health but also for documenting any injuries or trauma. This documentation can be vital for both your healing and any legal proceedings. Additionally, reaching out for support from trusted individuals or organisations can offer you emotional and practical help during this challenging time.
Reporting the assault to the police
This may ensure your safety and creates an official record of the incident, which can be beneficial for your case. While reporting is not mandatory, it can strengthen your claim and help in pursuing legal action against the perpetrator.
