Do I have a personal injury claim?
If you were injured in an accident in the last three years and someone else was responsible, our expert solicitors can help you make an injury claim.
Qualifying for personal injury compensation
Injury claims should usually be made within a 3-year window, starting from the date the injury occurred.
People with certain illnesses or conditions like hand-arm vibration syndrome may still be eligible for compensation even where the illness's cause happened years or even decades earlier. The date you are informed of your diagnosis is what matters in these cases.
To win a Royton personal injury case, your lawyer must prove:
- The defendant owed you a duty of care
- The defendant breached that duty
- Your injury or illness was caused by that breach
Making your claim sooner will enable your solicitor to collect useful supporting evidence.
How much can I claim?
The amount of compensation that you are likely to be awarded will depend on a number of points. Our calculator gives you an accurate estimate of your likely compensation.
