The disastrous explosion which took place at the Buncefield oil depot on Sunday 11th December affected many people in the Hemel Hempstead area. If you have suffered any type of loss or damage resulting from the incident you may be entitled to a claim for compensation.

You may have a claim for a number of different kinds of losses such as personal injury, damage to property and/or consequential loss of value, and loss of earnings.
An increasing number of people affected by the fire have turned to us, a local firm specialising in civil litigation acting for the victims of accidents. We have built a strong reputation acting for victims of the Watford, Southall, Paddington, Hatfield and Potters Bar rail crashes, subsequently appearing at the Public Inquiries into Southall and Paddington. We recently represented all the victims of Deep Vein Thrombosis in their House of Lords battle against the airlines. We have wide ranging experience in the problems of exposure to toxic waste and have been appointed as Lead Solicitors in an important test case against a local authority which was recently the subject of a BBC documentary - Fiona Bruce Real Story (01.11.2006)

We are continuing to press the Home Secretary to order a public inquiry.

Our experts are among the very few who have been allowed access to the site for the purposes of inspection and report

Please do not hesitate to get in touch and we can arrange to meet at a mutually convenient time and place in order to discuss your claim. Call 01923 223324 or freephone 0800 731 5821 to speak to one of our solicitors or fill in the online form and we will get back to you.
