Will I be able to make a claim?

• within the last three years, and;
• another person was to blame, and;
• that person owed you a duty of care.

Are there any other considerations?

Yes. Practically speaking, various other factors can affect whether a successful claim will be possible, including the specific details of the accident, if there is an uninsured driver involved or whether liability can be proved.

How much compensation can I claim for an injury?

The amount of money you could claim for your injury will depend on:

• the extent of your injury, and
• any financial losses or costs you have incurred.

At the start of your claim, your solicitor will consider the many ways your injury has affected your life. Your solicitor will take all of these effects into account to calculate the correct compensation award for you.

This calculation will factor in 'general damages' and 'special damages'.

General damages

General damages are awarded for pain, suffering and loss of amenity (PSLA).

Awards for general damages are set by the Judicial College and published in their guidelines for personal injury awards.

Special damages

Special damages are for financial losses and expenses you have incurred as a result of the accident.

What can I claim for after an injury? (see list)

Examples of special damages (losses you can claim for) include:

• Lost earnings (including future earnings)
• Medical treatment costs
• Physiotherapy
• Travel costs
• Costs of care
• Costs of adapting your home or car

Other injury claim types

Public place accidents

Health and Saftey Executive (HSE) data underline the fact that employee slips, trips and falls are the most frequent cause of accidents leading to injury in the Hertfordshire workplace. These types of accident are typically connected to accidents recorded in a different category such as being hit by another person, a fall from height or an electrical discharge accident. Public place litigation for injuries such as sprained wrists experienced on obstructed walkways are also quite prevalent with falls having happened in the area.

Clinical negligence

Medical negligence (clinical negligence) is the term for when a person is injured as the result of the carelessness of a doctor, nurse or other health worker. Our specialist panel of injury lawyers can help you claim compensation from the hospital or clinic responsible for the injury.

You can raise a formal complaint if you are only looking for the hospital to explain what happened rather than a compensation award. You can write to Lister Hospital, Coreys Mill Lane, Stevenage, Hertfordshire, for example, to go through the NHS complaints procedure against East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust.

Can I claim for someone else?

Yes. In certain circumstances, it is possible to claim compensation on behalf of another person in the capacity of a 'litigation friend'.

If an injured person is either too young or vulnerable, too injured or otherwise unable to claim on their own behalf, their litigation friend can handle the claim process on behalf of the injured person.

The litigation friend will be responsible for communicating with the solicitors, and for making decisions in respect of the claim.

Can I claim if I was partly responsible for an accident?

You may still be able to claim compensation even if you contributed to your accident or to your injuries.

However, if you were partly to blame (known as contributory negligence), your compensation may be reduced and it may be more difficult to prove liability.

For example, straightforward car accident claims can settle in a matter of weeks, whereas complex medical negligence cases can take years.
