Personal Injury Claims

What is a personal injury claim?

A 'personal injury' refers to an injury or illness for which someone else is responsible. If you've suffered harm or your condition has worsened due to someone else's negligence or failure to fulfill their duty, you may have grounds for a personal injury claim.

Pursuing a claim enables you to seek compensation from the at-fault party to address the damage inflicted upon you and cover the expenses resulting from your injury and its impact on your life.

Will I be able to make a claim?

To claim compensation for a personal injury, the law says someone else must be at fault. But figuring out who's to blame can be tricky, even with legal help. The good news is, even if you thought it was your fault, it might not be. And if you share some blame, you can still try to get compensation.

That's where a knowledgeable legal adviser comes in handy. They can quickly figure out if you have a good chance of getting compensation. You can talk to them for free by filling out a form on this page.

When should I make a claim?

In the United Kingdom, there is typically a three-year timeframe within which you must initiate a personal injury claim. This duration commences either from the incident's date or from the moment you become aware that the injury or condition resulted from the initial accident, legally referred to as the 'date of knowledge.'

For cases involving a child or an individual lacking mental capacity, the time constraints are more lenient. A legal expert with expertise in this area can provide you with a detailed explanation of these provisions.

How much compensation will I receive?

When it comes to getting compensation for personal injuries in civil cases, there's no fixed amount for each injury because many things can affect it (unlike in cases involving criminal injuries). If you've been hurt, it's important to talk to expert personal injury lawyers. They'll look at your situation and tell you how much compensation you might get.

Luckily, there are guidelines to help figure out the right amount of compensation for an injury.
