Official information · M disaster claim
Published by Bailey Glasser LLP. What is happening, who is conducting the claim, and what happens next - in plain language.
About this page
Thousands of people are pursuing a claim in England over the M disaster. A claim this large, running this long, gathers accounts around it - on social media, in the press, from neighbours and from people who say they act for you. Those accounts do not always agree, and some are simply wrong.
This is where Bailey Glasser LLP publishes what is actually the case: who is conducting the claim and on whose authority, what has changed, and what happens next. It is written for two readers - the people whose claim it is, and the partner lawyers working alongside us - in Portuguese and in English.
Nothing here asks anything of you today. Every item carries the date it was last updated, so you can see for yourself what is current.
This page, not social media, is the central and authoritative source of information about the claim.
