Whether you live in Market Rasen or anywhere else in England or Wales, our expert injury lawyers will manage your claim and we will always set up a medical assessment at a local medical centre.
Can I make a claim for compensation?
If you were injured in an accident in the last three years and someone else was responsible, our personal injury solicitors can help you make an injury claim.
What are the criteria for making a claim?
A claim must usually be made within 3 years of an injury.
Claimants with certain illnesses or conditions like noise-induced deafness are frequently still able to claim even if the illness was triggered by events some years ago. The date that you learn of your diagnosis is what starts the three-year time limit in such circumstances.
To win a personal injury case, it must be shown that:
- You were owed a duty of care by the defendant
- That duty was breached by the defendant
- The defendant's breach caused your injury or illness
Answers to your questions and useful guidance will be provided by a brief, no-obligation consultation with an Market Rasen injury lawyer.
What is my claim worth?
The amount of compensation that you are likely to be awarded will depend on a number of points. Our easy to use calculator provides you with an accurate estimate of your likely award or settlement.
