Accident Solicitors Direct has been shortlisted for Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence Team of the Year at the Yorkshire Legal Awards 2026.
The Yorkshire Legal Awards recognise the achievements of law firms and legal professionals from across the region, with categories covering firms, teams and individuals working throughout Yorkshire’s legal sector.
For our specialist personal injury team in Sheffield, being named as a finalist is particularly welcome recognition of the work we do for people who have suffered serious and life-changing injuries.
Personal injury specialists for more than 40 years
Accident Solicitors Direct has specialised in personal injury law since 1984.
Unlike firms offering a broad range of legal services, personal injury work is what we do. Our solicitors act for clients across Sheffield, South Yorkshire and the wider region in claims involving serious injuries, road traffic accidents, accidents at work, industrial disease and other forms of personal injury.
Over that time, we have represented more than 20,000 clients and recovered more than £350 million in compensation.
Our approach remains centred around providing specialist legal advice alongside a personal service. Wherever possible, clients deal directly with the solicitor handling their case and, for people who are unable to travel because of their injuries, we can arrange home visits.
Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence Team of the Year
Being shortlisted for Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence Team of the Year recognises the work undertaken by specialist teams representing people at what can be an extremely difficult point in their lives.
For ASD, that includes not only securing appropriate compensation but helping clients access rehabilitation, treatment and practical support following an accident or serious injury.
Our solicitors regularly represent people with complex and life-changing injuries, including brain and head injuries, spinal injuries, amputations and serious orthopaedic injuries.
The team also acts for people injured in road traffic accidents, workplace accidents and other circumstances where an injury has been caused through no fault of their own.
Yorkshire Legal Awards 2026
The Yorkshire Legal Awards are now in their 27th year and bring together law firms and legal professionals from across the region to recognise achievement within Yorkshire’s legal community.
The winners of the 2026 awards will be announced at the Yorkshire Legal Awards ceremony on Thursday 8 October 2026.
We are very pleased to see the work of the ASD team recognised amongst this year’s finalists and look forward to the awards in October.
