Can I make a claim?
Updated: September 16, 2016
If you suffered an injury or illness, or became aware of an injury, in the last 3 years and another person was liable, we can assist you with a claim for compensation.
Qualifying for personal injury compensation
Claimants who have been diagnosed with an illness or medical condition like RSI may still be eligible for compensation even where the illness's cause happened years or even decades earlier. In these circumstances, it is the date of diagnosis that is considered.
To win a personal injury case, your solicitor must prove:
- You were owed a duty of care by the Defendant
- That duty was breached by the Defendant
- The Defendant's breach caused your injury or illness
Your solicitor should look at how these issues will relate to your case.
