Can I make a claim for injury compensation?
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, Quittance's panel of solicitors can assist you with a claim for financial compensation.
Qualifying for personal injury compensation
A claim must usually be made within three years of the date of the injury.
To win a personal injury case, it must be proven that the defendant owed you a duty of care, that this duty of care was breached by the defendant, and the breach was the cause of your injury.
Beginning your claim as soon as possible will enable supporting witness statements to be collected by the solicitor.
How much can I claim?
The total compensation you are likely to get will depend on a number of factors. Our easy to use claim calculator gives you an estimate of the compensation you could get for your injuries and costs incurred.
