Have I got a claim for injury compensation?

Updated: September 16, 2016

If you suffered an injury or illness, or became aware of an injury, in the last three years and someone else was liable, Quittance's panel of solicitors can help you make a claim for compensation.

Elligibility to make a personal injury claim

Personal injury claims should usually be made within a three-year window.

People with certain illnesses or conditions like industrial deafness may still be eligible for compensation even if the illness was triggered by events some years ago. In such cases, it is the date you are informed of your diagnosis that is considered.

For the majority of injury claims, there are three main elements to proving a claim. It must be demonstrated on the balance of probabilities that:

• the person or company causing the injury owed you a duty of care
• the duty of care was breached
• this breach caused your illness or injury
