PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS
If you have been injured in an accident that was not
your fault in the last three years you can claim compensation for
your injuries and other losses.
Can I claim?
You can claim compensation if you suffered an accident or injury
which was not your fault. This could be because of:

|
If the accident was partly your fault and partly
someone else’s fault you may still be able to claim compensation.
However, the amount of compensation you receive will be restricted
to the amount the other person is held to be to blame i.e. if they
were 50% at fault and you were 50% at fault you would receive 50% of
the value of your injury or other losses.
How much compensation will I receive?
This depends on your injuries. We will tell you at the beginning of
your claim how much compensation we think you are entitled to.
However, in order to make sure that you receive the highest level of
compensation possible, we will instruct a medical expert to meet
with you and assess your injuries. The medical expert will help us
and the Defendant (the person or company who caused your accident or
injury) to understand what injuries you sustained and whether you
will have any ongoing symptoms. Once we have this information, we
will be able to give you clear advice about the value of your claim.
You are also entitled to recover the cost of any “out of pocket”
expenses you have incurred as a result of your injuries. This could
include any loss of earnings if you were off work, the cost of
prescriptions or equipment or any other specific cost that you have
incurred.
Our team will always strive to get the highest possible amount of
compensation for our clients.
How much will it cost me?
Nothing. We take personal injury claims on under a “No Win, No Fee”
agreement.

agreements work.
How long will it take?
This depends and it’s impossible to give you a definite answer. Some
cases can be settled very quickly if liability is admitted by the
other side, and you can recover compensation within a number of
weeks. However, if the other side does not admit that they are
liable then it can take considerably longer. We will give you the
best possible time estimate at all stages of your case and keep you
updated at all times.
