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.

Client Testimonials
From the moment I contacted you the service has been amazing. You responded to my first enquiry over a bank holiday weekend and followed it up in detail on the Tuesday. That personal touch emphasised that the service was above and beyond, and has continued to be so ever since. That call literally saved my life in more ways than I can mention.
Rusty BrownDear Paul, Please accept this email as confirmation that I have received the cheque and final settlement from the accident. I wanted to thank you very much for all your help and advice throughout the case and want you to know that your efficiency and effort s have been very much appreciated. Kind regards,
MichaelI contacted George Ide LLP by recommendation when my husband was involved in a severe accident as a pedestrian almost 4 years ago. In the very early days Paul Fretwell visited us at home and was an immense support through what turned out to be a very difficult case. Paul immediately knew my husband’s injuries were life-changing and throughout he dealt with it in the most holistic way possible, including instructing the best counsel and experts, to ensure the most positive outcome for us.
Paul takes a practical and pragmatic, but supportive approach. For the duration of our claim he was unfailingly responsive, always communicating legal detail clearly and concisely, which was important given my husband’s cognitive restrictions and fatigue issues. We would absolutely recommend Paul and George Ide LLP to anyone dealing with the legal aftermath of a severe accident.
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,
Anna PomorskaI have worked with Paul for several years now on various challenging cases. Paul has a very honest and open approach with the people he represents, his communication skills and ability to share complex information at a level of understanding for his clients is second to none. Paul has a deep understanding of the challenges faced by somebody who has acquired a brain injury and it is this understanding that ensures clients anxiety levels and concerns are kept at the lowest level possible at all times. Paul is realistic with his expectations and has had a high level of success with regard to achieving the right level of settlement to ensure his clients get the support they need for the rest of their lives.
Karl Thompson. Managing Director, Thompson Holistic Care Services (THCS)We 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.
Dear Paul. Thank you for you email. I am so pleased that everything has finally come to an acceptable solution. I am grateful for all your attention throughout. I have, at all times, felt supported by yourself and your firm and confident that you were working in my best interests to resolve the claim.
Kind Regards JanetThank you for all your effort and excellent advice and work in this matter. It’s very much appreciated and I will certainly use you and your firm again in the future should I require legal services.
Roger KoepI suffered a complex ankle injury in a road traffic accident in 2015, Paul Fretwell and the team at George Ide stepped in to manage my claim and helped me through a very challenging period in my life. The team’s experience with this type of injury, their considered approach and meticulous attention to detail enabled them to flag up any potential issues early on, and ensured there were no surprises along the way. Paul was able to see beyond the conventional claim headings, and took the time to understand the full impact of the injury, on my life and hobbies, and was keen to ensure they were all suitably reflected within the claim. Three years on, we went into a Joint Settlement Meeting with a robust and well prepared case, allowing us to secure a claim that significantly exceeded our expectations. I would not have a moment’s hesitation in recommending him to anyone in a similar situation.
RSThank you very much for your email. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for all your advice and perseverance, especially with regards to the final settlement. Both myself and my wife are so pleased that this matter is finished! We wish you all the best for the future. Kind regards,
GarryJust to confirm the safe receipt of the settlement money into my account,and also want to take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work not just regarding the fee but also treatment wich help me getting in track with normal life after the accident.
