Experience

We have handled hundreds of claims for clients injured in the U.S.A or injured by American companies. Such claims are complicated by the fact that each State has its own laws and time periods in which to bring claims. As well as our expertise and experience, we have strong links with many top U.S. lawyers who will be able to work with us to bring your claim to a successful conclusion and to ensure you recover fair compensation.

Funding

Claims in the U.S.A. are often funded by way of a contingency fee agreement whereby a percentage of the compensation recovered is deducted to cover legal fees or on an hourly rate basis. We will be able to advise you on the best way to fund your claim.

Time Limit

NOTE!! The time limit for bringing a claim in the U.S. can vary from state to state and can in some cases be short. It is therefore important that you contact us as soon as possible for advice. Remember we offer a FREE initial consultation.

I thought Irwin Mitchell was extremely professional throughout our claim. They were friendly and approachable and always there to help. If I ever had any queries or needed any assistance I knew I could call up and there was help available. My husband and I were over the moon with our compensation and would like to thank the team for all their hard work.
