Personal Injury Awards Launched

Nominations are now being taken for the newly launched Personal Injury Awards which aim to show recognition for firms and individuals which have performed outstandingly in the personal injury field.

They are the first cross industry personal injury awards, launched by Barker Brooks Media. Named the Eclipse Proclaim Personal Injury Awards, any individual or company working in the field can be nominated, including solicitors, barristers, insurers, rehabilitation providers and claims management companies.

Nominations are made online, where nominators can nominate a colleuge, organization or themselves. At the website, judging critera are carefully outlined so that you can judge the suitability of your nomination.

Entries need to be received by 29th of August, ahead of a ceremony which will be held on Tuesday 4th November at the Café Royal in London.

Those who have been shortlisted and will be invited to attend the ceremony will be informed by the end of September.

The awards are welcomed by the industry, which many feel is often overlooked. Judge Norman Cottington said, “there are insurance awards and rehabilitation awards at the moment, but nothing specifically for PI to identify and promote good practice. It is a pleasure to be one of the judges after being involved in PI for the last 43 years.”

Fellow judge Tony Goff added, “I think it’s high time that there were awards for personal injury lawyers and all those involved in claims, I am honored to be invited as a judge.”
