When a rented home has a persistent ceiling leak, the moisture has to go somewhere. In this case, it went into the walls and ceilings of the rooms where two children slept – creating the conditions for mould to grow and spread while their landlord looked the other way.
Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable road users in England and Wales. Without the protection of a vehicle body, a crash that would leave a car driver shaken can leave a rider with life-changing injuries. If you have been injured in a motorbike accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence — whether a car driver, a lorry, poor road conditions, or an uninsured motorist — you have the right to claim compensation.
“I didn’t think it was serious enough.” It is one of the most common things we hear from tenants when they first get in touch with NJS Law. They have been living with damp, mould or leaks for months, reporting it time and again, being ignored – and yet they have convinced themselves that their situation does not rise to the level where they could do anything about it.
Mould in a rented property is never just a cosmetic problem, and it is never “just a bit of mould.” Left untreated, it spreads – and it spreads faster than most people realise. This case shows exactly what happens when a landlord is told about mould and simply does nothing.
If you have suffered a whiplash injury in a road traffic accident, the rules that govern your compensation changed significantly on 31 May 2021. The Civil Liability Act 2018 and the Whiplash Injury Regulations 2021 introduced a fixed tariff system that sets the maximum compensation most whiplash claimants can receive, replacing the previous approach where solicitors and insurers negotiated an amount based on individual circumstances.
This guide explains exactly what changed, how the tariff works, who it does and does not apply to, and how NJS Law can still help you get everything you are entitled to under the new rules.
Yes — you have the right to change your personal injury solicitor at any point during your claim, for any reason. You are not locked in. If you are unhappy with the service you are receiving, concerned about the progress of your case, or have simply lost confidence in your current firm, you can instruct a new solicitor to take over.
