Bristol is the regional capital of the South West - around 470,000 in the city itself, part of a West of England combined authority area of about 1.1 million. The city's economy is dominated by aerospace and defence engineering at Filton (Airbus, Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems), a major commercial port at Royal Portbury Dock, a strong creative / tech sector, two major universities, and a well-developed NHS infrastructure. Severe injuries across Bristol, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire route through the Severn Major Trauma Network, with Southmead Hospital as the adult MTC.
Casibus connects injured people across Bristol and the West of England with regulated personal injury specialists. Every case runs on a no win, no fee basis.
