Local law firm Thatcher + Hallam's personal injury and clinical negligence team are to take over the firm's social media from 2nd August – 6th August as part of Injury Prevention Week.

The national campaign, which is coordinated by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers, aims to raise awareness of how everyone can play their part to reduce the chances of people suffering needless injuries due to the negligence of others.

William Weller, Managing Partner and department head for the Personal Injury Department says 'It's an important campaign and one that is close to the hearts of myself and my team. We empathise with our clients' frustrations that they have all been injured, in varying degrees of severity, as a result of accidents that could and should have been avoided."

"You would think that during the recent lockdowns the incidence of accidents would be few and far between. However, both during lockdown and since restrictions have been lifted we have seen a rise in the number of people coming to us for help."

Thatcher + Hallam will be running a digital campaign across their Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts and will include videos, animations, quizzes and bite-size tips and facts over the duration of the campaign.

Members of the public are encouraged others to join in, ask questions and get involved in spreading the Injury Prevention Week message.
