Do I have a injury claim?

Updated: September 15, 2016

If you suffered an injury or illness, or became aware of an injury, in the last 3 years and a third party was liable, Quittance can assist you with a claim for compensation.

What are the criteria for making a claim?

Claimants with certain illnesses or conditions like noise-induced deafness may still be eligible for compensation even if the condition developed as the result of events that happened years ago. In these circumstances, it is the date of diagnosis that matters.

In order to successfully win an injury claim, it must be proven that:

• The Defendant owed you a duty of care
• The Defendant breached that duty
• Your injury or illness was caused by that breach

Answers to your legal questions and invaluable guidance will be provided by a short, free consultation with an Stocksbridge injury lawyer.
