Have I got a personal injury claim?

If you suffered an injury or illness, or became aware of an injury, in the last three years and another party was liable, our expert solicitors can help you make a claim for compensation.

What are the criteria for making a claim?

Claims for personal injury compensation must be made within a three-year window in the majority of cases.

Claimants with certain illnesses or conditions such as mesothelioma may still be eligible for compensation even if the condition developed as the result of events that happened years ago. The date that you learn of your diagnosis is what is important in these situations.

In order to win a Hertford personal injury case, your solicitor must prove:

• The defendant owed you a duty of care
• The defendant breached that duty
• Your injury or illness was caused by that breach

In all cases, a short, free call with an expert solicitor can give answers and invaluable guidance.

How much can I claim?

The level of compensation you will be awarded is calculated with reference to Judicial College Guidelines. Our online compensation calculator gives you a good idea of the compensation you could win.
