Record Damages

Thompsons' history of recovering compensation for injured people speaks for itself. Every year we win over £150 million in compensation for our clients.

Asbestos Related Illnesses

Thompsons helped to establish employers’ liability in cases of industrial disease. This permitted thousands of people to claim compensation from their employers where previously they would not have been able to.

We are always pushing the boundaries for injured people. We recovered the first personal injury compensation for an asbestos related disease contracted by a bystander.

Road Traffic Accidents

We recovered one of the highest ever awards of personal injury compensation in the UK for a victim of a Road Traffic Accident - £3.4 million.

Industrial Deafness

Thompsons has recovered £289 million so far for people suffering from Industrial Deafness and brought the original test cases to have the right to compensation recognised.

Stress

Despite this area of law being fraught with difficulties in terms of proving stress, we won the first ever award of compensation for a client suffering from stress at work.

Passive Smoking

We brought the first ever successful cases of clients injured by passive smoking.

Major Public Disasters

We have represented victims of disasters such as Piper Alpha, Zeebrugge, Hillsborough, The King's Cross Fire and the Clapham and Paddington rail crashes.
