The firm was instructed in 1,512 cases last year, more than double that of the next busiest firm, according to figures obtained from the Compensation Recovery Unit inside the Department for Communities.

JMK has offices in Newry, Derry and Belfast and plans to open another office in Belfast in April 2023, providing services across Northern Ireland.

Maurece Hutchinson, managing director of JMK Solicitors, said: “We pride ourselves in putting our clients first and we strive to do our absolute best for them, which is also reflected in our 99 per cent client recommendation rate.

“Our status as the number one personal injury law firm for the ninth consecutive year is a direct result of our dedication to client care, our staff go above and beyond for our clients, ensuring that our core values are part of all our processes and that we achieve the best possible outcome for those who have instructed us to resolve their case.”

She added: “As a specialist law firm operating solely in the area of personal injury claims and road traffic accidents, we will continue to make a significant investment in our team to ensure we maintain the high client care standard set by the Lexcel quality mark and accreditation.

“Along with our number one status, the accreditation is a reassurance for our clients that they are dealing with a reputable firm that works above the recognised standards of excellence in legal practice and client care. At JMK we always place people at the heart of our business and strive to work hard to achieve the best outcome for our clients across NI.”
