Have I got a compensation claim?
If you have been injured, or were diagnosed with an injury or illness, in the last three years and another party owed you a duty of care, our panel of award-winning solicitors can help you make a claim for financial compensation.
Elligibility to make a personal injury claim
Claims should be made within a 3-year window, starting from the date the injury occurred in the majority of cases.
Claimants who have been diagnosed with an illness or medical condition like asbestosis are frequently still able to claim even if the illness was triggered by events some years ago. The date that you learn of your diagnosis is what matters in such circumstances.
In the majority of cases, there are three main elements to proving a claim. It must be shown 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.
How much compensation could I get?
The financial compensation you are likely to get is calculated with reference to Judicial College Guidelines. Our online compensation calculator gives a good idea of the compensation you could win.
