Representing more than 150 injured survivors

Clients have been supported through a Public Inquiry, through access to initial dedicated rehabilitation services and much-needed financial assistance, and in the preparation of civil claims. Clients have provided the following testimonials for the work of the Hudgell Solicitors team.
June Tron
Mother of Philip Tron, 32 who died in the attack
The legal team at Hudgell Solicitors have become more like a family to us, as they have been there for our family every step of the way. Terry Wilcox and James Camidge have supported us throughout the Public Inquiry, and have looked after us with care and consideration at all times.â
âThey have at times protected me when they have known that difficult evidence was to be heard, and helped me cope through some truly horrifying days.â
âThey have not just been there for us, they have been there for others too. I canât speak highly enough of how they work. They truly care about the truth, and about looking out for those they represent.
Janet Senior
As survivors we were told by the police that we were mistaken by what we remembered from what had happened, and how people were left without help. I was getting really frustrated with that and it was only when we met Terry Wilcox at Hudgell Solicitors that we found somebody who wanted to listen to us and wanted to get to the truth. He cared about what we had to say.
âWe didnât have a voice until Terry and Hudgells listened. They want to get to the truth.â
âThe people who died in that venue, and never had the help they required, have not been able to speak. Those of us there have wanted to speak for them. We know what happened.
Sarah Nellist
The team at Hudgell Solicitors have been so supportive and have talked me through the process, explaining how compensation can cover my future needs and losses. It makes you realise this will impact on you for the rest of your life, no matter how you feel you have moved on.
âIâve had to accept that Iâll never be the same person again. I canât be. I donât think anyone affected can be. If I feel ok, then thatâs good enough.
âThe physiotherapy support has been brilliant. I have tinnitus and Iâve struggled with my balance ever since the attack. I couldnât balance on one leg at all but now I can balance for around 20 seconds. It has made my overall balance much better, and that has a big impact on how I feel.
Ruth Murrell
Iâd initially paid for therapy sessions privately as I was so far down the waiting list and I simply couldnât wait any longer. Then Hudgells arranged for more, for which the cost was covered, which was amazing as I still needed so much help, but couldnât afford it.
âIt has helped me with adopting coping techniques to overcome triggers, which can happen every day from something as simple as an ambulance siren or a car backfiring.
I also visited the memorial to lay flowers, which was hugely significant. Being able to work again has been a very positive step too. The support has been fantastic.
Andrea Bradbury
It was a fight for us survivors to be given a voice. Hudgells were the people who were prepared to listen to us as humans. There are times when you just need to be able to speak to people who will listen to you, and take time to understand you. Hudgells did that and we are all grateful for their support.â
âWe were made to feel like we mattered, and that we were understood. We were able to speak openly with Hudgells.â
âAlthough we werenât Core Participants at the Inquiry, we were able to give evidence as witnesses. We hope that families of those who lost loved ones have seen that we have been able to contribute positively to the inquiry and in finding answers.
