Have I got a injury claim?

Updated: September 20, 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 can assist you with a claim for financial compensation.

Elligibility to make a personal injury claim

Compensation claims should usually be made within three years of an injury.

Claimants who have been diagnosed with certain injuries or illnesses like noise-induced deafness are often still entitled to claim compensation even if the illness was triggered by events some years ago. In these circumstances, it is the date of diagnosis that is important.

Whether claiming for a work-related illness or road accident, making a successful claim will involve three issues. It must be shown that:

• a duty of care was owed
• that the duty was breached
• the breach was the cause of the injury or illness

How much can I claim?

The total compensation you are likely to get depends on a number of criteria. Our online injury calculator gives a realistic idea of your potential damages award.

Considering the effect your legal representative can have on your life and your recovery, finding a solicitor that matches your needs is a crucial first step.
