Can I make a claim for injury compensation?

Updated: September 15, 2016

If you have been injured, or were diagnosed with an injury or illness, in the last 3 years and a third party owed you a duty of care, Quittance's panel of solicitors can assist you with a claim for financial compensation.

What are the criteria for making a claim?

Claims should, in most cases, be made within a three-year window, starting from the date you knew of your injury.

Whether compensation is being claimed for a road accident in Wednesbury or work-related illness, there are three main elements to making a successful claim. It must be proven that a duty of care was owed, that this duty was breached, and the breach was the cause of the injury or illness.

Your lawyer will discuss each of these key issues and will explain how they apply to your claim.
