The department of 30 handles approximately 2000 cases at any one time. It deals with cases with values of up to £400,000.

Ackroyd is also the firm's representative within the Motor Accident Solicitors Society, an organisation set up to promote the interests of victims of car accidents.

He is a member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers and, in May this year, successfully applied to become a member of the Law Society's Personal Injury Panel.
