Cumbria Solicitors
Cumbria is unlike anywhere else in the country. With its mix of rural communities, market towns, coastal areas and industrial centres, people across the county often face unique challenges when dealing with legal issues.
Distance, access to services and the impact of accidents or medical failings can feel more acute in rural settings, where support is not always close at hand.
At HPA Solicitors, we support individuals and families across Cumbria, providing clear, reliable legal advice when it matters most.
Whether you live in Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness, Workington, Whitehaven, Kendal, Penrith or one of the county’s many villages, our solicitors are here to guide you through complex legal matters with care, clarity and confidence.
We understand that when something goes wrong, through medical negligence, a serious injury or an unexpected accident, you need legal support that is accessible, responsive and built around your circumstances. That is exactly how we work.
About HPA Solicitors in Cumbria
HPA Solicitors acts for clients throughout Cumbria and the surrounding regions, supporting people in both urban centres and remote rural communities.
We understand that accessing specialist legal services can be more difficult outside major cities, which is why we provide flexible, clear communication and remote support wherever needed.
Cumbria’s economy includes agriculture, manufacturing, energy, tourism and transport, alongside regional healthcare services that cover large geographical areas. Our solicitors regularly assist clients whose cases arise from workplace accidents, industrial exposure, road traffic incidents on rural roads, and medical treatment provided across the county.
Clients choose HPA because we combine specialist legal expertise with a practical, down-to-earth approach. We take time to understand your situation, explain the legal process clearly, and pursue outcomes that genuinely support your long-term wellbeing.
Medical Negligence Solicitors in Cumbria
Medical negligence can have particularly serious consequences in rural areas, where access to specialist care may already involve long travel times.
Our medical negligence solicitors in Cumbria support individuals who have suffered harm due to substandard medical care, helping them seek answers, accountability and appropriate financial support.
We act for clients bringing medical negligence claims arising from treatment provided by hospitals, GP practices and specialist services across Cumbria.
Many cases involve delayed diagnosis, missed referrals or failures in communication, issues that can significantly affect outcomes when care is already spread across large distances.
Our team works with independent medical experts to assess whether the standard of care fell below what was expected and how that failure has affected your health, independence and quality of life.
Where claims succeed, we pursue fair medical negligence compensation to support rehabilitation, ongoing care and long-term security.
Medical Negligence Claims We Handle in Cumbria
Our Cumbria medical negligence solicitors regularly assist with cases including:
- Medical misdiagnosis claims, where serious conditions were missed or diagnosed too late
- GP negligence claims, including failures to refer patients for specialist treatment
- Hospital negligence claims, involving delays, treatment errors or unsafe discharge
- Surgical negligence claims, where avoidable mistakes occurred during or after procedures
- Dental negligence claims, including incorrect treatment or poor aftercare

We understand how difficult it can be to raise concerns about medical care, particularly in close-knit communities. Our role is to manage the legal process sensitively while ensuring your case is investigated thoroughly and fairly.
Personal Injury Solicitors in Cumbria

Our approach to personal injury compensation focuses on the full impact of an injury, not only immediate pain, but the long-term effect on employment, mobility, independence and family life.
