Solicitor Recommendation

My girlfriend was hit by a car last week in London (horrible accident but she is luckily on the mend) and I wondered if anybody had any direct experience of good London PI solicitors that deal with cyclist claims? I have had a search on some other threads but am looking for recommendations from first hand experience if possible?
Cheers

You may wish to contact BC or CTC (?) on her behalf, I think they'll provide legal cover retrospectively.0

As far as I'm aware, BC / CTC just pass your details to a solicitor who will enter into a no win no fee arrangement with you. So you are arguably as well off getting recommendations for a decent lawyer from here as from them. There are a few names that usually come up, but as I have no direct experience I'll leave it for others to make recommendations. Good luck.0

I'm not saying they don't provide a handy service, just that they aren't "providing" a lawyer, in fact they probably get commission for passing on your details!0

In general, I think you are correct, but in my case the CTC are funding my claim against the MIB as I was hit by an unidentified driver in a hit and run. I don't understand all the details, but in these cases I don't think a legal firm can recover their costs, so for me the CTC are funding it.0 -
I stand corrected then - well done the CTC. Hope it all gets sorted out for you.0

Russell, Jones and Walker are dealing with my claim following my crash last Nov. It's a long winded affair but they've been very good so far. No decision on compensation yet though, got a med check on Harley Street on Monday next week.
BTW anyone got any advice re the med check? Should I arrive with crutches and limp through the door groaning to press my point?Do not write below this line. Office use only.0 -
Should have said. RJW are dealing with my case against the MIB as well. So far reasonably impressed, they certainly seem to understand cycling, and the issues that can affect a cycling related case.0

I picked a local one from this site after my off: http://www.mass.org.uk/ - I'm going through Burroughs Day now in Bristol - no use to you but I feel comfortable that they're a local solicitor who have expertise in this, and not a big no-win-no-fee firm off the telly...0
