Can I claim?

The key criteria for making a claim are that the injury must have occurred:

• in the last three years, and;
• someone else was to blame, and;
• that person owed you a duty of care.

Are there any exceptions?

Yes. In reality, several other factors can affect whether a successful no win, no fee claim will be possible, such as the specific details of the accident or the quantum of the claim.

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 claim types

Accidents in a public place

HSE data stress the fact that employee slips, trips and falls are still the most prevalent cause of injury in the Kent workplace. These types of accident are frequently the precursor to accidents classified under another heading such as being hit by a falling object or an electrocution accident. Public place cases for injuries such as sprained arms happening on tripping on a street are also quite prevalent with trips having occurred on Twisden Rd and on Swan Street.

Public place accident claims

Medical negligence

Medical negligence is the term used when a person is injured due to a doctor, nurse or other health worker's lack of care. Our expert solicitor panel can help you make a claim against the NHS trust or private clinic.

If you are just looking for a deeper understanding of what happened instead of financial damages, you could use the NHS Resolution process. For example, to go through the NHS complaints procedure against Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust, you can contact Darent Valley Hospital, Darenth Wood Road, Dartford, Kent.

More claim types

Courts recognise that a serious injury can have a significant impact on an injured person and their dependants. By limiting the financial pressure serious injury imposes on an injured person and their family, injury compensation allows people to concentrate on recovery and rehabilitation. Our network of solicitor firms have for many years aided people impacted by severe accidents. Injuries and illnesses which are held by the Courts to be catastrophic or serious include cerebral palsy, lead poisoning and concussion.

Does the location of the law firm matter?

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

Your lawyer will arrange for a medical practitioner in your area to conduct your medical.

Compensation is restricted by the expenses you have incurred and by set recommended 'general damages' depending on the nature of the injury. Experience can also have an impact on the amount of compensation your solicitor will be able to negotiate. Find out more here.

You should be aware that the amount of compensation you get to keep can vary considerably from firm to firm (2015 research). No Win, No Fee solicitors will expect you to pay a success fee and an ATE insurance premium.

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.
