Manchester law firm Rowe Cohen is one of almost 600 personal injury firms to have agreed a settlement in their high-profile litigation following the collapse of The Accident Group (TAG).

Insurers Winterthur and National Insurance Group (NIG) had brought the negligence claim against TAG, Rowe Cohen and another 597 firms in 2005 following TAG’s administration in 2003 but a settlement was reached in the last few days.
