Preventable bus accident nets £1,300
New mother Lyndsey Worley from Wigan should have expected a little more help from the driver when she was trying to alight his bus with her one month old son in the pram.
However, one of the region's most high profile bus companies let her down.
"The driver said he was too busy to lower the platform for me," said Lyndsey, "and didn't offer to help me get the pram off his bus."
As Lyndsey struggled with the pram, the wheels got caught between the bus and the kerb. Lyndsey went to catch her baby but fell, twisting both her knee and ankle.
"My boyfriend managed to catch my son but I fell quite badly and ended up on crutches for three weeks - the last thing you need when you have a newborn to look after."
"I rang the bus company to complain and then I rang Injury Lawyers 4 U, which put me in touch with Express Solicitors."
"The bus company said it hadn't even heard of my complaint but I had a letter of apology to prove it had."
"Express Solicitors sent me to see a specialist and then kept me updated at every stage of my claim. I was delighted to receive £1,300 but wish the company had been more helpful in the first place."
When somebody pulled out in front of me at a crossroads, my car was damaged and I suffered whiplash. However, the person that caused the accident refused to take responsibility. I immediately made a phone call to Express Solicitors and within half an hour a personal injury lawyer arrived at the scene of the accident to take pictures. As I was shaken up, simply having the solicitor with me put me at ease. Express Solicitors did everything for me, from arranging a courtesy car to settling my compensation claim for £1,000 within six months - without having to go to Court. I really couldn't have asked for more.

I turned to Express Solicitors when, as a passenger, I suffered whiplash in a road traffic accident and the firm helped me win £3,500. Some years, earlier the firm won me £17,500 for a serious knee injury when a wooden frame fell on me at work. The previous solicitors advised me to accept £2,500 but Express Solicitors obtained a much higher compensation settlement - £15,000 more!

I've used Express Solicitors on many occasions because whatever I am claiming for, I not only receive a personal service but also a quick settlement for a sum that always exceeds my expectations.
Andy Jamieson, Ormskirk
Express Solicitors helped me win £8,000 compensation for my whiplash injuries following a road traffic accident in Ireland. I knew from the experience and expertise at the firm that my case was in safe hands and was impressed with the courteous manner in which I was treated throughout the whole process.

Express Solicitors helped me claim for the damage caused to my car when another car hit me at a roundabout. The firm was very efficient and ensured that my car was fully repaired in no time.
