For this month\u2019s department spotlight, we shine a light on Nicola Williams<\/strong>, Senior Litigation Executive in our Hull office. With over 20 years of experience in personal injury law, Nicola is known for her client-first approach and robust guidance and support throughout the claims process.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n But who is Nicola Williams, and what drives her to do the work she does?<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Here are a few of the questions we asked\u2026.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019ve worked in PI at Bridge McFarland for over 20 years now, and feeling like we are making a real difference to our clients\u2019 lives is what I like the most.\u00a0 Being able to give them some comfort in knowing they are financially secure and can try to enjoy the life they deserve.\u00a0Working for a team that works together and is willing to help each other out, no matter the situation.<\/p>\n I think the people who work for Bridge McFarland set us apart, as we work so well as a team, and that shows by the amount of previous client referrals we get.\u00a0We will always go above and beyond for our clients, even if this comes at our own expense as a firm.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n It was something that had always interested me, and I wanted a career where I could learn while working on the job.\u00a0 I knew that law was vast and had many different aspects, so I was interested in figuring out what I felt would interest me the most.<\/p>\n I learned early on how interesting personal injury law could be and that it involved working closely with clients and building relationships and trust with clients so that we could ensure the best possible outcomes were achieved.\u00a0 I enjoy arguing out liability issues and proving our clients\u2019 claims even when insurers would try to deny them.<\/p>\n The most rewarding part of my job is feeling as though we are making a difference and helping our clients try to get back to a place they once were before being involved in an accident.\u00a0It is also rewarding to be able to help younger people who are starting out in their careers in law and being someone who is approachable and willing to help them as much as possible.<\/p>\n I worked on a case that involved a child whose life was changed instantly, but rather than the injury defining him, he showed how life is what you make it, no matter the circumstance.\u00a0We managed to successfully achieve compensation that would help him for the rest of his life and enable him to achieve the many goals he had set for himself.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n To trust your lawyer who will help you every step of the way and guide you in terms of what to expect.\u00a0 Making a claim is your right to do if you have sustained injury through no fault of your own, and by bringing your claim, you could be making sure your accident doesn\u2019t happen again to someone else.<\/p>\n I will check in with clients and make sure they are always updated and understand what happens next.\u00a0 I will always try to connect with my clients on a personal level as well as a professional level, so that they feel I am approachable and are able to ask whatever questions they may have.<\/p>\n Maybe that they will have to pay solicitor costs or that they may end up feeling as though they have done something wrong.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n We will support local events and sponsor as many sporting clubs as we can.\u00a0Recently, we have supported the Flex Neuro<\/a> Rehab Community Event and also sponsored Hull Zingari Cricket Club<\/a>, who are doing amazing things in the community. We often will do events in the office, such as \u2018Wear it Pink\u2019 to raise money for breast cancer and also various other events throughout the year.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n I am a Senior Litigation Executive in the PI Department in Hull<\/p>\n I have worked for Bridge McFarland for over 20 years in the PI department.\u00a0I am a qualified para-legal and experienced in all aspects of PI, including fatal accidents, accidents involving minors, amputation cases, serious\/catastrophic RTA and accidents at work.<\/p>\n At school, I loved art and English.<\/p>\n I might have gone into working in the fitness industry, focusing on health and wellbeing, but a job that would have involved working with people.<\/p>\n To try different areas of law to find out which area suits you most and never be afraid to ask for help.\u00a0 Don\u2019t be too hard on yourself and understand that it can take time to fully understand how things work.<\/p>\n Read more about Nicola here: Nicola Williams \u2013 Senior Litigation Executive<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Our specialist personal injury team<\/a> at Bridge McFarland LLP can help you recover compensation if you suffered an accident or injury.
