Personal Injury

Occasionally, injuries can be particularly serious or have long-lasting effects and it is essential that you receive the right advice so that you have financial security for your future.

At Hutton’s we understand this and have acted for clients in recovering compensation for over 20 years, within which time we have had to deal with clients who have faced catastrophic and life changing injuries.

Our team is small but highly effective and we do not approach claims in the same way many other firms do. The size and level of expertise means that we can deal with claims efficiently, ensuring clients are kept properly informed throughout so that they understand the choices open to them.

Recent cases have seen us recover compensation of over £1m for numerous clients with many being settled without the need for legal proceedings to be brought, thereby maximising the compensation to the client and promoting prompt and efficient settlements.
