Whilst around 95% of cases settle without the need for a trial, there are still some cases where the other party refuses to settle. If we think the case has reasonable prospects of success, then we will fight the case at trial for you.
This was exactly the position one of our local Bury clients recently found herself in. Despite all of the evidence clearly showing a legitimate accident had taken place, the defendant tried to discredit her case and refused to make a reasonable settlement offer.
Despite a number of truly appalling attacks upon her character, including an unfounded suggestion she was intoxicated, we remained confident in her case and advised her to take the matter to trial.
Remember, always use a specialist litigation solicitor; not all solicitors are the same and choosing a firm with a proven track record in litigation can often make the difference between winning and losing.

At trial we were able to undermine all of the attempted attacks upon her character and were delighted to find that at the end of the trial the Judge ruled in favour of our client and awarded her compensation of £4,751.52.
The client was very pleased with this outcome and returned a fantastic client satisfaction questionnaire commenting:
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank the team for the time and commitment on my case. From being updated almost weekly to attending court with me, it really did put me at ease in what was a very daunting situation.
I would highly recommend to anyone if they are in need of legal representation. Aston Knight are the ones to trust!”
The introduction of heavily reduced fixed fees for solicitors in recent years has led to many law firms closing disputed cases as they do not consider them financially worthwhile to take to trial. Aston Knight Solicitors buck that trend and will take cases to trial, on a no win no fee basis, wherever we think the case will succeed.
