A long-standing supporter of the air ambulance, the firm, which specialises in helping clients pursue personal injury claims, also has close links with other charities which frequently help its clients, including Headway, the Brain Injury Association, and SIA and the Spinal Injuries Association.
Comercrawley's links with the ambulance go back to 2001 when the charity was established. The firm acted for the first patient in the region to be helped by the service.
Director Ian Comer said: “We're delighted to be supporting the charity, particularly as there is such a strong link with the work that we do in helping the victims of accidents. The EAAA is a popular and highly respected charity in the region and we can think of no cause better deserving of our support. We're looking forward to building a close relationship with the charity team this year.”
