Have I got a claim for compensation?
If you suffered an injury or illness, or became aware of an injury, in the last 3 years and another person was liable, our personal injury solicitors can assist you with a claim for compensation.
Eligibility to claim
A claim must usually be made within three years of the date of the injury.
In most cases, a successful compensation claim has three key components. It must be shown on the balance of probabilities that a duty of care was owed, that this duty was breached, and the breach was the cause of the injury or illness.
How much compensation can I claim?
The compensation you will be awarded will depend on a variety of factors. Our online claim calculator provides you with an estimate of the level of compensation you are due.

Official statistics highlight the fact that slips, trips and falls are, by some degree, the most frequent cause of accidents leading to injury in the South East London workplace. They are sometimes the cause of injuries incorrectly attributed to other causes for instance being hit by an object falling from a lifting machinery or an asphyxiation accident.

How to choose the best no win no fee personal injury lawyer
It can take months for most claims to conclude. Cases where responsibility is contested or the injury has had a major impact can take years in some circumstances. The SRA regulate strictly legal advice given by all solicitors, but they are not required to monitor many factors that matter to claimants, such as quality of service or speed of communication.
Your lawyer should be someone you are able to trust throughout the claims process to give practical advice and expert legal guidance.
The key questions to put to your prospective solicitor are "what success fee and ATE premium do you charge?" and "how much of the compensation will I keep?".
