WELCOME TO GEORGE IDE’S PERSONAL INJURY DEPARTMENT
George Ide’s personal injury team is widely recognised and highly respected for its specialist expertise and success in claiming compensation for clients whose lives have been turned upside down by preventable illness or accidental injury that was not their fault. Over the past 50 years, we have built a well-deserved reputation as experts in our field. Our unfailing ethical standards, service excellence, honesty and dependability are well-recognised and our experienced lawyers are knowledgeable, client-focused and, above all, approachable.
So if you need help to get your life back on track after an accident, our experienced and sympathetic personal injury lawyers will take the time to listen carefully to you and your loved ones so that we fully understand your present situation as well as your future needs. We will ensure the individual advice we give – and any action we take – is right for you, and we are with you every step of the way with practical help and support.
We believe it is our responsibility on your behalf not only to achieve financial compensation to help redress the actions or negligence of others but also to ensure that appropriate funding for treatment and therapies is made available as swiftly as possible, to help you recover as fully and as quickly as possible.
You are always our top priority
From day one, our specialist healthcare-trained case managers are available to assess and identify our clients’ rehabilitation needs. Armed with their reports our personal injury lawyers can negotiate payments for comprehensive and effective treatment, targeted appropriately for each individual client, no matter what their needs.
We will help secure whatever your long-term recovery requires, from private rehabilitation, physiotherapy or gym membership for example, to an account with the local taxi firm so you can access treatment even if you are unable to drive. We will also do whatever we can to help with employment issues and support you in your return to work, whether you are returning to your previous role or starting a new job.
How can we help?
Whatever the nature or severity of your condition, the chances are that our experienced specialists will be familiar with the types of challenge you now find yourself facing in every-day life. As you rebuild your new future, you can rely on our sensitive and understanding experts to help you through – whatever it takes.
As you explore the links on our website, hopefully, you will gain an idea of the breadth of our knowledge and experience and the wide range of services we offer – but we never forget the importance of personal relationships. Integrity, commitment and quality are the foundations of everything we do, and we pride ourselves on the trusting and long-lasting relations we forge with our clients.

Client Testimonials
I would like to inform you that I have received the money and I am very happy about the amount. I would like to thank you for the help and for always having time to write back to my emails. You were always in contact with me. I will recommend you and only you to my friends. Regards,

GarryI was involved in a traffic accident as a pedestrian, being hit by a car. My family were recommended to George Ide regarding personal injury, and what a great choice this turned out to be. Words can’t express how thankful and grateful I am for the service and support that I received from everyone at George Ide. My case was handled by Paul Fretwell with the help of Karen Jenkins, and the genuine kindness, care, and professionalism that they provided throughout my claim from start to finish was second to none. The experience of Paul and his team really shone through, and this was obvious from the very start when I first met Paul for an initial chat at home. The thoroughness and dedication to getting me the best possible outcome was clear throughout. Paul fought to the nail making sure that no stone was unturned, this allowing me to feel less anxious and to be able to concentrate on getting physically and mentally better. For anyone that goes through a traumatic event, the support from the people around you is key, Paul and his team were no exception to this, and I felt that I had a true friend and ally on my side. George Ide and Paul should be the first port of call to someone in need of a personal injury solicitor, I can’t recommend them enough!
Alex RichardsonWe thought that we needed to write to you to express our deepest thanks for the way that you personally and all of the staff involved with you carried out the whole case from beginning to end.
We hope that you can convey our thanks to them on our behalf. The background people are often overlooked, but we feel that we had the best team available playing for us on all levels.
I would just like to say that it has been an absolute pleasure working with you over the last few years and thank you so much for all your help and support. You have been fantastic. You have certainly been more helpful than I could have possibly hoped.
Sarah FinleyDear Mr Lewis. First of all I would like to say a huge thank you to you and your team about the hard work, time and money which you spent to deal with my claim. I agree with you that the settlement is reasonable enough and I know that you’ve did your best to get it.
Plamen KrastevI would just like to thank you for all your hard work in settling my father’s case and in coming to an agreeable settlement with the insurers. Thank you for being so patient with us, and taking time to explain things in layman’s terms. You have led us through this process with ease and my father is very happy to have reached a conclusion in this matter . All your efforts are very much appreciated. Wishing you all the best.
Nancy AckermannWe are so grateful for all your hard work, and the passion with which you fought for him…it has given him a sense of self-worth that someone in your professional position can see what kind of man he is and what he should be awarded. Thank you so much, you have restored our faith in humanity, and we would have no reservations about recommending you to anyone in the future!
See ReviewI take this opportunity to thank you for the support, professionalism, and wonderful advice you gave us throughout this difficult time. It was a very stressful period for us as it was our first experience with the court. Without all your help and legal advice, I would undoubtedly have been in a much more precarious situation. Thank you so much for your support and hard work. On behalf of me and my wife I would like to say a big thank you for taking up my case and representing us as our legal counsel. When we thought it was too much to handle, you were there for us to give us strength and hope. We always found you to be very friendly when we needed any legal advice. Once again, I thank you so much for your understanding, for your patience, your dedication to my case and most of all, thank you for being friendlier, making us more comfortable with your advice and guidance than just a mere professional lawyer during that difficult moment. This means a lot to us, and we will be forever grateful to you.
Haresh & Varsha NaikI must of course take this opportunity to tell you how grateful I have been for all your advice, assistance and counsel during the past difficult months. You have been demonstrably skilful, resolute and responsive in all aspects of dealing with my case. I have always felt in very safe hands and your experience shines through, knowing just how to procure the best outcome. I can’t thank you enough for getting me through this horrid and complicated experience. With very best wishes.
Linda TudorI don’t have enough words to describe how helpful, professional and supportive you have been, at a very stressful time for me. I feel really lucky to have had you as my solicitor. Your service was superb; it just could not have been better.
VGRight from the beginning of my journey to claim for compensation for my injuries after being knocked off my bike by a car driver, Paul Lewis has been a tower of strength. His advice, guidance and care in ensuring my claim proceeded smoothly has been First Class. Always promptly keeping me informed of progress by email. A friendly, compassionate listening ear when needed to my worries and concerns. Helping and guiding me every step of the way. I have received the best possible advice throughout, resulting in an excellent outcome, expertly and tenaciously negotiated for me by Paul. Thank You.
