Am I entitled to make a claim?

You should be able to claim financial compensation for your injury if the accident (or 'date of knowledge') happened:

• within the last three years, and;
• another person was at least partly to blame, and;
• that person owed you a duty of care.

Are there any other points to consider?

Yes. In reality, several other factors can affect whether a successful compensation claim will be possible, including the circumstances of your accident, whether there was a criminal incident or whether your claim meets your chosen solicitor's risk assessment criteria.

It costs nothing to find out if you are entitled to injury compensation. Speak to an injury solicitor now on 0800 376 1001. You can also find out if you have a claim with our Claim Checker:

How much compensation can I claim for an injury?

The amount of money you could claim for your injury will depend on:

• the extent of your injury, and
• any financial losses or costs you have incurred.

At the start of your claim, your solicitor will consider the many ways your injury has affected your life. Your solicitor will take all of these effects into account to calculate the correct compensation award for you.

This calculation will factor in 'general damages' and 'special damages'.

General damages

General damages are awarded for pain, suffering and loss of amenity (PSLA).

Awards for general damages are set by the Judicial College and published in their guidelines for personal injury awards.

Special damages

Special damages are for financial losses and expenses you have incurred as a result of the accident.

What can I claim for after an injury? (see list)

Examples of special damages (losses you can claim for) include:

• Lost earnings (including future earnings)
• Medical treatment costs
• Physiotherapy
• Travel costs
• Costs of care
• Costs of adapting your home or car

Other types of claim

Public place accidents

Officially reported data underscore the fact that employee slips, trips and falls are the most frequent accident in the Nottinghamshire workplace. These types of accident are quite often related to injuries attributed to other reasons such as being struck by a falling object or an electrical discharge accident. Public place (Rushcliffe local authority) accident claims injuries such as broken wrists occurring on spillages are also common with kerb stone trips having occurred on St. Mary's Street and on Forrest Rd.

Public place accident claims

Clinical negligence

Clinical negligence (medical negligence) describes when someone is injured or becomes ill as the result of the lack of care of a doctor, nurse or other medical professional. If you have been affected by medical negligence, we can help you claim compensation from the NHS trust or private clinic at fault.

If you just want a deeper understanding of what happened instead of financial damages, you could use the NHS Resolution process. For example, you can write to 1 Horizon Place, Mellors Way, Nottingham Business Park, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, to go through the NHS complaints procedure against East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust.

Frequently asked questions

What is your track record of handling claims in Bingham?

Quittance is a nationwide network of award winning personal injury solicitors dedicated to helping claimants in Bingham, Nottinghamshire and across the country, get the best possible compensation settlement.

In 2017, we have helped hundreds of people throughout Nottinghamshire seek compensation for a range of injury circumstances, from road accidents to workplace accidents.

Does Quittance offer 100% No Win, No Fee

If your claim is not successful, our No Win, No Fee policy covers 100% of your legal fees. Your solicitor fights your case for you, and only gets paid a success fee if they win your case.

Does the location of the personal injury solicitor matter?

As with many professional services, you do not need to instruct a solicitor near you.

For the majority of claims, the only aspect that does require a local service is the medical exam. This exam provides necessary medical evidence to support your claim, and is carried out in partnership with a member of our national medical network.

Compensation is limited to costs you have had to bear as a result of the injury and by guidelines set out by the Judicial College. Experience can also have an impact on the amount of compensation your solicitor will be able to negotiate. Find out more here.

Once a settlement has been agreed, solicitors working on a no win no fee basis will usually charge a success fee and ATE insurance premium. For example, deductions from a claimant's compensation for a moderate pain disorder could vary between £17,050 and £31,130 (based on 2015 market research).

The key issue to be aware of is how much of your compensation will be taken to cover these fees.

Can I claim for someone else?

Yes. In certain circumstances, it is possible to claim compensation on behalf of another person in the capacity of a 'litigation friend'.

If an injured person is either too young or vulnerable, too injured or otherwise unable to claim on their own behalf, their litigation friend can handle the claim process on behalf of the injured person.

The litigation friend will be responsible for communicating with the solicitors, and for making decisions in respect of the claim.

Can I claim if I was partly responsible for an accident?

You may still be able to claim compensation even if you contributed to your accident or to your injuries.

However, if you were partly to blame (known as contributory negligence), your compensation may be reduced and it may be more difficult to prove liability.

The length of time needed to secure compensation can vary considerably.

For example, straightforward car accident claims can settle in a matter of weeks, whereas complex medical negligence cases can take years.

Will I have to go to court?

If you suffer financial hardship as a result of an injury, you may be able to claim an interim compensation payment.
