The Claims Partnership

The Claims Partnership: claims solicitors in Preston's Winckley Square

The Claims Partnership is a firm of solicitors based in Preston's Winckley Square that concentrates on claims brought by individuals. Its work covers personal injury, clinical negligence and cosmetic surgery claims, and the firm presents itself as a no-win no-fee practice. The site describes the firm as "safe hands" solicitors for private clients.

The practice frames each instruction as a partnership between client and solicitor, and states that claims are handled by an experienced specialist solicitor with a track record in the relevant field. It also says that other solicitors and medical professionals instruct the firm to bring their own claims.

A separate section on work accidents adds claim categories for brain injury, train driver injury, military accidents and MoD compensation, and injuries affecting electricians, hairdressers, firefighters, cleaners and police officers injured on duty.

Costs and funding

The firm states that it operates a 100% no-win no-fee service and guarantees clients a minimum percentage of any compensation awarded in every case. It adds that it insures the claim itself and pays the insurance premium. Separate cost pages set out its approach to personal injury costs, clinical negligence and cosmetic surgery costs, and dispute resolution costs, alongside general guidance on solicitors' costs.

Clients and approach

The firm describes a client base ranging from toddlers to Oscar-winning artists, and says it works to obtain the highest amount of compensation possible in each case. Its stated commitments are to be open, honest and reliable, to be transparent about fees, and to handle claims efficiently and quickly. The site also carries a news section with articles on topics such as food poisoning claims, proving landlord negligence, contributory negligence, medical negligence and personal injury payout expectations.
