The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers

Digby Brown Solicitors are firm-wide accredited specialists in personal injury law by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL).  To be an accredited practice of APIL the firm must adhere to a seven step criteria set by APIL:

• The organisation must be regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority or Bar Standards Board

• There must be at least one accredited senior litigator (or above) at each branch who has personal responsibility for the supervision and management of personal injury cases

• Client care - there must be a consistently high standard of client care throughout the firm

• Training and development - the organisation ensures that all staff are provided with training opportunities to improve their skills and legal knowledge, and to meet the needs of clients;

• Supervision – each senior litigator or fellow can only supervise up to ten personal injury lawyers

• Quality assurance - there must be a comprehensive and documented procedure for who should authorise each stage of your case, and a similar procedure for how case files are reviewed

• The organisation agrees to have its performance monitored by APIL to ensure standards are being maintained.
