Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence

Our Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence department is headed by Anthony Cole. Anthony has specialised in personal injury and clinical negligence litigation since his qualification in 1996.  He has represented many clients over the past 15 years and has obtained hundreds of thousands of pounds in compensation for claimants.

Anthony is a member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers and has been involved in a number of high profile group actions. He was part of a team of lawyers representing children damaged by the MMR vaccine, and also part of a team of lawyers who represented Gulf War Veterans and for patients wrongly given LSD in the 1960’s.

Anthony has acted for children as well as patients with mental health problems and has dealt with all types of personal injury claims, including work place accident, road traffic accidents, occupiers liability claims, Motor Insurers Bureau claims, Criminal Injury Compensation Authority claims, and disease claims (e.g. asbestos, deafness and work related upper limb disorders).

ELS & Cole is able to act for clients under Conditional Fee agreements, which are more commonly known as a “No Win, No Fee” agreements and we are happy to provide an initial free assessment by telephone or in person for anyone wishing to seek advice in respect of a potential claim.

We intend always to resolve a claim as speedily as possible to the satisfaction of the client, and seek to obtain interim payments wherever possible. We understand that it is not always possible for clients to attend our offices and in such cases we can arrange for home visits.

If ELS & Cole act under a “No Win, No Fee” agreement when a client’s claim is settled ELS & Cole guarantee it will not take any payment at all from a client’s damages.  A client will get to keep 100% of any compensation awarded to him or her.
