Have I got a claim?
Updated: September 13, 2016
If you have been injured, or were diagnosed with an injury or illness, in the last three years and someone else owed you a duty of care, we can help you make a claim for financial compensation.
Elligibility to make a personal injury claim
Compensation claims should, in most cases, be made within 3 years of the injury.
For the majority of injury claims, a successful compensation claim will involve three issues. It must be demonstrated that:
- the person or company causing the injury owed you a duty of care
- the duty of care was breached
- this breach caused your illness or injury
Answers and both practical and legal advice will be provided by a brief, no-obligation consultation with an injury lawyer.
