"I was involved in a motorbike accident in 2016 which left me severely injured and wheelchair bound for the rest of my life. Vashti handled my claim and recovered £1.25 million for me by way of compensation.
The whole claims process was very worrying and made me very anxious, however, Vashti stood by my side every step of the way. She and my Barrister were sympathetic and understanding and fought for me at every stage. I would not hesitate to recommend Vashti to anyone looking to pursue a personal injury claim"
