Wigan Council Compensation Claims

Wigan council has one of the highest rates of compensation pay-outs in the country. The combination of a growing population, great travel connections and cuts to government funding have left local councils vulnerable to planning failures and employee negligence. As such, there are many instances where your local council will be directly responsible for your personal injuries. In these cases, you need a professional, legal team to help you file your Wigan council compensation claim.
