A record high
In a record achievement, Bondholder Nelsons has recovered £24.3 million in damages for its clients over the last year.
The personal injury and clinical negligence department at Nelsons, which works across its three offices in Nottingham, Derby and Leicester, has secured settlements for 215 clients in the past year, securing an average of £113,000 per case.
Lisa Preece, partner and solicitor who heads up the team, said their main goal is to get justice for their clients. They deal with claims that arise from reasonably modest injuries all the way through to catastrophic, life changing injuries where the damages award is often in seven figures.
The past year also saw the department gain national recognition when senior associate and solicitor Dianne Collins fought off competition from across the country to win ‘Claimant Lawyer of the Year’ at the Personal Injury Awards last November.
Nelsons’ Chief Executive, Stewart Vandermark, said: “For a relatively small team of 17 to be producing the results we’ve seen in the past year is absolutely remarkable.
“At Nelsons, we are dedicated to empowering our clients – giving them a voice, fighting for them, helping them seek justice and steering them through the complex legal issues that they face.
Lisa added: “This achievement is a real reflection of the broad cross section of the work we do to help our clients get the results they need to compensate them and improve their lives.”
