Making an injury claim

Injury claims must, in the majority of cases, be made within three years of the date the accident occurred or you learned of the injury.

Purposeful legislation exists to provide support for individuals considering a claim, and our panel of specialist solicitors have years of experience giving advice to their clients on the strength of their claims.

For most claims, proving a claim has these key elements. It must be proven on the balance of probabilities 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.

Tips for choosing the best no win no fee personal injury lawyer for your accident

Usually a personal injury claim will take some months to reach a conclusion. In serious injury cases, claims may run for one or two years. All solicitors are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), but the quality of service does vary.

Considering the effect your solicitor can have on your recovery, picking an injury lawyer that meets your needs is a crucial first step.

The difference in the amount of success fees and After the Event (ATE) insurance premiums charged by solicitors working on No Win No Fee agreements often surprises prospective Claimants.

For example the amount of compensation retained by a Claimant being awarded compensation of £56,371 for very serious leg injuries leaving permanent problems can vary from £33,822 to £47,915.
