Do I have a claim for compensation?
Updated: September 18, 2016
If you have been injured, or were diagnosed with an injury or illness, in the last 3 years and another person owed you a duty of care, our personal injury solicitors can assist you with a claim for financial compensation.
Elligibility to make a personal injury claim
Personal injury claims should, in the majority of cases, be made within three years of an injury.
For most claims, a successful compensation claim has three key elements. It must be demonstrated that:
- a duty of care was owed
- that the duty was breached
- the breach was the cause of the injury or illness
Compensation Calculator
The total compensation you are likely to get is calculated with reference to a number of factors. Our claim calculator provides you with an estimate of the award or settlement you could be due.

Slip and trip accidents
Official statistics demonstrate that employee slips and trips are the single most frequent accident in the North West London workplace in 2015. Slips and trips are typically related to accidents incorrectly attributed to other causes like being struck by moving machinery or a harmful substance accident. Public place compensation claims for injuries like facial scarring occurring on obstructed pathways are also common with slips having occurred on Station Rd.

When a patient is injured as the result of the carelessness of a doctor or other medical professional, it may be possible to claim compensation for medical negligence. Quittance's expert panel of injury lawyers can help you make a claim against the NHS trust or private clinic at fault.
If you are just looking for a deeper understanding of what happened instead of financial compensation, you can raise a formal complaint.
