If you are based in Mansfield or anywhere else in the UK, our expert personal injury solicitors will help with your claim and we will always set up a medical report at a local medical centre.
Can I make a claim?
If you suffered an injury in the last three years and another party was at fault, we can help you make a compensation claim.
Key criteria
Personal injury claims should be made within a 3-year window in most cases.
In most cases, there are three main elements to proving a claim. It must be shown 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.
Making your claim as soon as possible will enable supporting witness statements to be collected by your solicitor.
How much can I claim?
The injury compensation you are likely to receive is dependent on the nature and seriousness of your injuries. Our easy to use compensation calculator provides a good idea of your potential compensation award.
