Do I have a compensation claim?
If you were injured in an accident in the last three years and someone else was responsible, our panel of award-winning solicitors can help you make an injury claim.
Elligibility to make a personal injury claim
Claimants with certain illnesses or conditions 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 starts the three-year time limit in such cases.
In order to successfully win an injury claim, your lawyer must demonstrate 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 sooner should allow your solicitor to collect useful supporting evidence.
How much compensation can I claim?
The amount of compensation that you are likely to be awarded is dependent on the nature and seriousness of your injuries. Our calculator gives an accurate estimate of your likely compensation.
