Can I make a personal injury claim?
If you suffered an injury or illness, or became aware of an injury, in the last three years and another party was liable, our panel of expert solicitors can help you make a claim for compensation.
Eligibility to claim
Claimants with certain illnesses or conditions like noise-induced deafness are often still entitled to claim compensation even where the cause of the illness occurred years ago. The date of knowledge, or diagnosis, is what starts the three-year time limit in such circumstances.
In most cases, proving an injury claim involves three components. It needs to be proven that the person or company causing the injury owed you a duty of care, that this duty of care was breached, and this breach caused your illness or injury.
Getting your claim started sooner should allow your solicitor to gather supporting statements from witnesses.
Find out how much you can claim
The level of compensation you will be awarded is calculated with reference to Judicial College Guidelines. Our easy to use compensation calculator provides a good idea of your potential compensation award.
