Support services for victims
Undergoing a medical negligence or personal injury claim can be a time of great difficulty, one where victims and families may also be trying to deal with bereavement, life-changing injuries and other losses. At Universa Law we treat our clients with care and compassion and guide clients where suitable to many support groups.
Below are details which may be useful.

If you or someone you know has been a victim of medical negligence or a personal injury where someone else was at fault, you might want to claim compensation for your injury.
Contact the Universa Law legal team for a free initial consultation. We work on a No Win No Fee basis, which we believe is the most risk-free and stress-free way of claiming as you never have to send a payment to us, win or lose.
