Was involved in a road accident and sustained whiplash injury. Heather was assigned to my case. I was kept up to date throughout the entire process and was awarded a payment that exceeded my expectation thanks to the hard work and professional manner in which my claim was dealt with. I highly recommend Watermans.

Injury Claim

I was rear-ended during a driving lesson and left with horrible whiplash for a long while. Heather Tierney was so lovely in reassuring me and helping me seek compensation for my back and neck injuries that impacted my work life for most of 2022 and 2023. She was kind, very clear on what was happening with my claim and would answer any and all of my questions to make sure I fully understood everything. Thank you so much Heather for all your help!

Excellent Service

5

I cannot recommend Heather Tierney at Watermans highly enough for her outstanding service in handling my car accident claim. From start to finish, she was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and always kept me informed throughout the entire process. The circumstances around my case caused a lot of stress for me but Heather made the situation feel manageable with her clear communication and expert advice. She was always available to answer my questions and took the time to explain each step, ensuring I felt confident in the decisions being made. Her attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome was truly impressive. Thanks to Heather’s hard work, I received a settlement that I was very satisfied with. If you’re looking for a solicitor who is dedicated, compassionate, and excellent at what she does, Heather is the one to trust.

We instructed Waterman Solicitors after we were involved in a not at fault accident, but had been marked as at fault, thus putting my insurance premium up 70%.

Heather was very professional and managed to get the decision overturned and a good settlement .
