UK's Largest Personal Injury Law Firm

The amount of personal injury claims in the North West has risen and in response to this issue, the nation's largest personal injury law firm has opened a new branch in Manchester city centre. On the 20th of February 2009, Irwin Mitchell launched its new office at 82 King street, straight in the heart of Manchester and its directors have high hopes for its success. Its key management team of Andrew Tucker along with Geraldine Coombs and Stephanie Forman will all be working round the clock in order to establish and maintain Irwin Mitchell's sterling reputation in its Manchester branch.

Some background information on these partners is provided by Irwin and Mitchell's website; Coombs and Forman both specialise in personal injury and clinical negligence, with Coombs an industry heavyweight in asbestos related diseases and serious injury cases, while Forman focusing on birth injury, neonatal death, cancer, claims against the MOD and oncology. Both of these partners have had impressive results in successful the cases that their careers have seen them take on. For example, Coombs has been heavily involved in many landmark asbestos disease cases, with the inclusion of Lubbe/Afrika and others vs. Cape PLC, an infamous case that established South African miners' right to sue for compensation in this country; the result of this case was a £10.5 million pay out back in March 2003.

When asked to comment on the opening of Irwin Mitchell's Manchester branch, Manchester regional managing partner Andrew Tucker was very positive in his approach to this exciting new beginning. He stated that the whole team were very excited about the prospects that such a move could offer, both for Irwin and Mitchell and for their existing and potential clients. As Manchester is such a thriving and buoyant city, and with the large demand for personal injury and clinical negligence services within the area, to establish a presence in Manchester is strategically sound and has already showed promising results.

Irwin and Mitchell are the largest personal injury law firm in the country and certainly a viable option for anyone looking to make a claim for a personal injury that was not their fault; however, Manchester also boasts a wide array of rival personal injury law firms, so it is best to compare the market in order to receive the best deal for your particular needs or requirements. Since every case is specific to the victim, certain law firms will be able to offer certain services and prices that are relative and specific to the victim.
