Motor Accident Solicitors Society - About Us
What is MASS?
MASS is the Motor Accident Solicitors Society. We are a non-profit
making Society of solicitors whose expertise lies in the field of motor
accident claims. We have a nationwide membership of solicitors, who
have committed to adhere to the minimum standards laid down in our
Code
of Conduct and have proved their expertise in road accident claims.
Why were we formed?
We were formed in 1991 to promote the efficient and effective provision
of legal advice and to represent the interest of road accident victims.

arising from motor accidents.
