"My father suffered serious injury following a RTA. Sally and Tom took care of his claim, leaving no issue unexplored, in what was a difficult case to value. Sally and Tom's advice was always very clear and understandable. They worked extremely hard to ensure that my father received the best compensation deal which covered his losses and assisted with his recovery in a way which suited his needs and wishes. Always understanding and empathetic to his needs, I am delighted we had Leigh Day in our corner." - Gian Luigi
