This historic market town is a popular holiday destination that proudly embraces its turgid history.
Nowadays the town has an almost cosmopolitan feel to it with English and Scottish residents making up the population.

Berwick-Upon-Tweed’s town walls were commissioned by Elizabeth I to protect the town from Scottish raids. The walls can boast to be the most complete set of Tudor walls anywhere.
The town attracts thousands of visitors each year to its shops, beaches and other tourist sites like the Berwick Barracks Museum and the Maltings Arts Centre.

If you have ever suffered a personal injury whilst in Berwick-Upon-Tweed, then you may be entitled to claim compensation as a direct result. You have a legal and civil right to claim, a fact that passes the majority by. Under a Conditional Fee Agreement individuals can pursue a claim on a ‘No Win No Fee’ basis.
‘No Win No Fee’ means that you will not have to pay a penny in legal or court fees whether the case is successful or not. Why not consult with a variety of firms to gauge the legality of your case. A lawyer will not take your case on unless they think that the probability of winning the case is so great, that they can’t lose.
The reason that they take on the case is that if they are successful they claim the cost in full from the other party involved. The key advantage you have here is that you are safe in the knowledge that the lawyer that chose to handle your case wouldn’t have accepted it, unless the body of evidence was in your favour.
Any compensation payout you receive is likely to include remuneration for the initial pain and suffering caused, as well as any psychological impairment, such as fear of the road if you have been in a car accident. Also taken into account are medical costs/treatments fees, and any loss of earnings.
