An Altrincham law firm has achieved recognition from a national campaign organisation for injured and bereaved people.

McHale & Co solicitors has gained ‘corporate accreditation’ from the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL), a not-for-profit organisation which works to improve the law for people killed or injured through no fault of their own.

“People who suffer serious injury because someone didn’t take proper care, or relatives of those killed due to another’s negligence have their lives completely changed.

"We can help these people get their lives back on track and receive suitable compensation and rehabilitation,” said Malcolm Horner, head of personal injury at the firm.

The firm can now display APIL’s quality mark logo which ensures individuals seeking legal help can be guaranteed a high level of experience and expertise.

The association’s president, Jonathan Wheeler, said: “When they see APIL’s accreditation logo clients can be assured they are in good hands. McHale & Co has successfully fulfilled extensive criteria to prove a high level of client care and quality assurance.

"APIL will provide the firm with ongoing training and development in best practice, enabling clients to get the justice to which they are entitled.”
