Can I make a personal injury or accident compensation claim?

Can I claim personal injury if I was at fault?

Usually, you would only be able to make a claim for personal injury if someone else were to blame. However, if you were only partly at fault, you could still have a case. In some situations, the party who is to blame is unclear.

If you're unsure as to whether you have a case, get in touch with our team who can advise you on whether you could continue with your claim.

Can I file a personal injury claim without a lawyer?

While it is possible to make a personal injury claim yourself in some circumstances, without a solicitor, you might find the process smoother and a lot less daunting if you have the support of an experienced lawyer.

As we take most cases on a no win no fee basis, you will only have to make a pre-agreed payment if you win your claim. In the situation that you do lose, therefore, you won't need to pay anything.

Can I claim for an injury at work?

Can I claim compensation for a car accident?

How long after an accident can you claim compensation?

Most claims can be made up to three years after an accident or up to three years after becoming aware of any injuries. After this time, you normally won't be able to claim compensation. However, in the case of children, a claim can be made on their behalf at any time up to their 18th birthday, regardless of when the accident occurred. Once they turn 18, they have three years - until they're aged 21 - to make a claim. 

Can I claim for an accident after three years?

In most cases, you won't be able to put in a compensation claim if three years have passed since your accident or personal injury, unless the injured person is a child.

There are also exceptions for those with a mental disability and in circumstances in which the injured person has died. If any of these situations apply, contact our team to find out if we could help you make a claim.

Can you claim for the same injury twice?

If you've received a final settlement for your claim or a final decision has been made, then you won't be able to make another claim for the same injury, even if you believe that the compensation awarded isn't a fair amount.

However, if you feel that a solicitor has been negligent in the handling of your case, you might be able to dispute the settlement. If this is the case, get in touch with our team to see how we can help.

Can I make a personal injury or accident claim on behalf of someone else?

If someone is unable to make a claim, such as a child or dependent, you could claim personal injury compensation on their behalf. You might also be able to claim if someone's injuries prevent them from being able to make a claim themselves. Get in touch with our team to discuss whether you could make a claim on someone else's behalf.
