We manage a team of independent medical practitioners and reconstruction specialists to ensure success on the liability aspect of any action dealt with by our firm as well as optimal quantification of the damages sustained as a result of the event giving rise to the action. At Mokoduo we understand the issues affecting our clients and their families due to injuries arising from personal injury or medical negligence and we know what positive action to take to make a difference to their claims. We have pursued many leading legal cases in order to improve the prospects of success of claims for various forms of personal injury and to obtain fairer compensation. Many victims who could be entitled to compensation for personal injury are reluctant to make a claim because of concerns over the cost of seeking legal advice. At Mokoduo we believe that justice should not be reserved just for those who can afford it. Legal fees in respect of actions for personal injury and medical negligence can therefore be dealt with by us on a no win, no fee basis governed by the terms and conditions of a contingency fee agreement. Our lawyers offer the highest level of professionalism and expertise, combined with dedication and sensitivity. Above all, we put our client s first.
