Extremely Professional

Following a head on collision in 2019 with an uninsured at-fault driver I was recommended HCC. I was assigned a fantastic solicitor, a Mr Joe Speed who was was professional and genuinely invested in my case. I required major surgery which impacted my career. Although the case did carry on for a good while (during Covid) and it seemed like there was a lot of hold ups due to the heel dragging of the Motor Insurers Bureau and the courts chasing the other driver to resolve the case, Mr Speed was able to secure a very complete and comprehensive settlement figure for me that will hopefully secure my financial burdens when further surgery on my injuries is required.

I highly recommend HCC and in particular, Mr Speed and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again.

Hit and run accident

The new team of solicitors and staff were good, The previous not so good, I didn’t like the way I was approached whilst in hospital and heavily drugged up, I can’t remember being in hospital never mind signing paperwork, If the new team hadn’t come in I was ready for leaving

Mistakes and delays

I'm in my 5th year of a case with HCC, it's not been a good experience - at all.

Changes of solicitor, errors, slow service.

Most recently a confidential medical document handling error that has caused significant issues in the case - only identified by myself (a common theme, all errors have only been caught by my reviews of paperwork) - which there seems little urgency to resolve.

Getting responses can take weeks. Not acceptable.

Ridiculous and Unprofessional

Joke of a company. I'd make a better solicitor after spending 5 mins on Google. Absolutely shocking communication with myself and between the team at HCC.

Case has been ongoing for 4 years now. Endless months without response to my emails and without any updates at all. 2 solicitors have quit and I wasn't informed till I rang and the 3rd one couldn't be bothered to contact me and once he has (only because I chased this up), he couldn't be less "useful" if he tried.

I've been told A, B, C and D by same and different solicitors but suddenly someone changes their mind and it's X, Y and Z.

No handover at all between solicitors, nobody knows anything, they try and steal money from you by claiming more needs to be paid despite VERY CLEAR paperwork stating otherwise but until you argue it and point it out, they won't take notice of.

Complaints team is absolutely unprofessional too. Been told complaint can take 8 weeks to be dealt with. It's been approx 20 weeks and not a single response to my follow ups. Next step is Ombudsman so that's where I'll be going.

Absolutely awful company. Do not recommend them at all. Wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy.

(Oh and I have everything in black and white clear emails so it isn't just a random rant)

If your reading this please find a new legal team your not crazy

Treated like a deceiver my case and injuries trivialised. Case not taken seriously coming up to 4 years of waiting because I wouldn’t accept the initial offer no medical help beyond the standard physio they offer over video call the MRI that shows my injury was ignored all the blame fell on the health professionals who has no governing body and can say what he wants when he wants and their is nothing you can do about it. If you want to see another healthcare professional they charge you personally.
If you having doubts about weather your being supported your not alone. The complaint office isn’t there to support you he just build a case against what you’re saying and ignore you for weeks if you disagree. Even the claims team that deals with this company cannot be traced. This has to be the worst legal team in the UK.

I felt informed, supported and important at all times

Following a serious car accident where I almost lost my life, I commissioned Kelly's legal services. During the most difficult, emotional and painful times of my life, Kelly was always helpful and there for me. Having received a brain injury, I found it difficult to grasp and retain information quickly but with Kelly's approach and patience, I felt informed, supported and important at all times. Nothing I asked of her felt it was too much trouble. The support package and team that Kelly organised was a key part of my on-going recovery. My sons and elderly parents are grateful, and for the respect and professionalism Kelly gave to my case. For that, I am also eternally grateful. I would have no hesitation, whatsoever in recommending Kelly.

Thank you for all your help

Again, thank you for all your help and work on this case. It�s really been a pleasure. You always made me feel confident in my case even when the defence was picking at it, and you trusted me fully throughout. I never felt like you questioned my integrity at any point, and that is huge to me. So again, thank you.

Genuine people that care

Following our family member being in hospital after a serious head injury, we were unsure and worried about what the future would hold. In an instance life changed for all of us. Taking one day at a time we never thought at any point about professional help through a solicitor, but after some advice at the hospital we ended up in contact with Joe Speed and his team at HCC Solicitors. We were initially worried as we didn't want it to be about financial gain, well what can I say, Joe and his team were the furthest away from our worries. They understand the person injured is the most important thing, concentrating on rehabilitation and supporting our family has always been their priority, as a family we can honestly say we wouldn't have got through the past year without their help and support throughout it all, genuine people that care for those they are helping. Thanks again Joe and his team.

Had Joe Dodman and his team representing me for a motorbike accident I was involved in a couple years ago and I couldn’t have hoped for a better outcome. Updated me when it was relevant and was very clear in their communication throughout the whole process, couldn’t recommend them enough
