“In 2009 I was involved in a traffic accident when a car driver slammed into my scooter. It smashed my foot quite badly and sent me in and out of hospital over the next few months. The TAC staff were very helpful, but I knew that when it came to seeking compensation for my injuries I needed proper legal representation. At the time I had lost my job, was in a lot of pain, and was facing a potential amputation, so it was clear that I had to take this seriously.

Initially I considered one of the larger well known legal firms, but in the end I decided that it would be better if I chose a smaller, more “boutique” firm – one that specialised in traffic accident law, and that could pay proper attention to my case as if their very business reputation depended on it. After a few months of research I rang Clara, she came over to my house to meet me and talk about what had happened. Clara is a very warm and genuine person, and immediately I knew that I was in good hands. Her enthusiasm and knowledge of traffic accident law is impressive. It’s obvious that she is very passionate about what she does. After I made the decision to appoint Burt & Davies I was able to relax and heal.

Clara spent the next year or so running around digging up scans, x-rays, GP and hospital records, police, insurance and witness statements – an impressive stack of paperwork over a foot high! And she kept me in the loop as the case progressed through the system. In the end the final compensation settlement was much more than I ever expected – it has actually set me up for life!

I’m very grateful to Clara for her tireless work, and I am so happy that I made the right decision to appoint Burt & Davies. If you have been injured in a traffic accident I highly recommend calling Clara to talk about your options. You have nothing to lose because of the no-win no-fee arrangement, and everything to gain. Remember that in the end, no matter how nice the actual TAC staff are, you are ultimately fighting a well-resourced insurance company that has it’s own lawyers and in whose interest it is to minimise your compensation payout. So you need a good lawyer!

Good luck and good health!”
