		<description><![CDATA[When choosing a personal injury solicitor you should make a personal choice. Your personal injury solicitor will have to understand how an accident has affected your life, your family life, and your work. Your finances will have to be discussed, and more than likely your medical records. All quite personal stuff, so a personal choice has to be made, not an internet comparison.]]></description>

I do take over cases from other solicitors. This does not mean the  current solicitor is poor, it usually means a client is not receiving  the time and attention they deserve. Working with a solicitor is a personal experience, and it should be  personal.

You can prove your case by showing you were injured by someone who did not take reasonable care for your safety. They might be able to show you were partially to blame, and therefore contributed to the injury. Your contribution is assessed [...]]]></description>
