Whilst it’s fair to say we have had a fairly snow-free winter this year (or at least we have in the midlands where we’re based), it’s certainly been a wet one. There are more weather warnings on the way for this weekend, and in the colder and wetter months we can normally expect an increase in people making wet floor claims.

For most firms, offering a 100% compensation is now a thing of the past. The government decided to change the law last April and stopped lawyers recovering all of their legal fees from the other side. To add salt to the wounds, they also slashed the amount of fees a lawyer can recover to a mere fraction of what it used to be.
