Have I got a claim for injury compensation?
If you have been injured, or were diagnosed with an injury or illness, in the last 3 years and another person owed you a duty of care, Quittance's panel of solicitors can assist you with a claim for financial compensation.
Qualifying for personal injury compensation
Compensation claims should be made within 3 years of the injury in most cases.
People who have received a diagnosis of a medical condition or illness like asbestosis may still be eligible for compensation even where the illness's cause happened years or even decades earlier. The date of knowledge, or diagnosis is what is important in these situations.
In most cases, proving a claim will involve three issues. It must be proven on the balance of probabilities that the person or company causing the injury owed you a duty of care, that this duty of care was breached, and this breach caused your illness or injury.
In all cases, a short, free consultation with an injury lawyer can give answers and invaluable guidance.
What is my claim worth?
The total compensation you are likely to get will depend on a variety of factors. Our online claim calculator gives you an estimate of the level of compensation you are due.
