Have I got a personal injury claim?
If you were injured in an accident in the last three years and someone else was responsible, our expert solicitors can help you make an injury 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.
See a list of what you can claim for:
Examples of special damages include:
- Lost earnings (including future earnings)
- Medical treatment costs
- Physiotherapy
- Travel costs
- Costs of care
- Costs of adapting your home or car

Key criteria
Claims for personal injury compensation must usually be made within three years of an injury.
For most claims, there are three elements to making a successful claim. It needs to be shown that:
- a duty of care was owed
- that the duty was breached
- the breach was the cause of the injury or illness
Answers to your questions and useful guidance will be provided by a brief, no-obligation consultation with a personal injury solicitor.

The importance of choosing the best no win no fee personal injury solicitor for your circumstances
Compensation for a injury claim can take months, and even years in serious injury cases, to be settled. The SRA are tasked with regulating the legal advice given by solicitors, but they are not responsible for many factors of interest to people affected by injury, such as speed or level of service.
Your lawyer should be someone you can rely on throughout the claims process to offer compassionate practical advice and expert legal guidance.
Does the location of the personal injury solicitor matter?
You do not need to pick a personal injury solicitor near you.
Medical examinations will usually need to be conducted locally. Quittance's national medical network will assist with this critical stage of the claims process.
