Areas of Expertise
Chris Bright brings 15 years experience in helping victims of accidents. He qualified as a solicitor in 1987 and began his specialism in personal injury work with LA in 1990. He left LA in 1996 to join a major personal injury practice in Southampton where he was a member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) and registered in the solicitors' directories for the Spinal Injuries Association and Headway, charities dedicated to the support of victims of spinal cord injuries and head injuries. Chris is also experienced in bringing industrial disease claims for those suffering illness as a result of past exposure to asbestos. Chris returned to LA in 2005 to assume responsibility for our personal injury work.
Chris handles claims relating to the full range of personal injuries from minor injuries to the most severe catastrophic injuries. He has a particular interest in spinal cord injuries.
Have I got a claim?
If the accident is totally or in part someone else's fault then you may have a claim. It might be against a driver, employer, hospital or council.
How much will it cost?
We offer free initial advice, which includes an explanation of how you can afford legal help. For example you may already have legal expenses insurance or union funding. If appropriate we will tell you about no win no fee agreements.
How much will I receive?
Compensation is made up of two parts:
- General damages - This is money for your pain, suffering and inconvenience. We will tell you about awards in similar cases.
- Special damages - You can claim for loss of earnings, rehabilitation, transport, medical bills and other expenses. We ask you to keep all receipts.
How long will the claim take?
This is completely dependent on you and your recovery. Chris and his Team will work efficiently to conclude your claim but it is not always in your best interest to do this quickly.
