What is a Personal Injury Claim?

The term “personal injury” refers to an area of the law that lets you get a legal remedy for all losses stemming from an accident or other incident where someone else’s carelessness or intentional conduct caused you to be injured.

A personal injury case is a civil action, meaning that when some other person or a business is found to be legally responsible (at fault) for causing your injuries, the remedy comes in the form of damages -- money that is paid by the liable party (the defendant) to the injured party (the plaintiff). Compare this with criminal liability, where the person who has committed the wrong will be subject to sanctions like imprisonment, fines, and community service if they are prosecuted and convicted in criminal court.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

PROCESS

Our partner solicitors can assess the details of your claim and will advise you as to whether you have a case to be compensated for your injuries. 

Should you decide to seek our service and represent you on your claim, our advisers will assist you in the next process. You’ll then enter into an agreement with your solicitor who will be acting on your behalf to make your claim. They will then file a letter of claim to the person responsible for causing your accident (the defendant). 

TIME SPENT

The length of time it will take to make your claim depends on your case. 

Every case is different, so it’s very difficult to say at the early stages how long the process will be from start to finish. You could contact one of our advisers to discuss your situation.

FEES & CHARGES

A No Win No Fee arrangement – which is also known as a contingency or conditional fee agreement (CFA) – is an agreement between yourself and your solicitor that ensures you don’t need to worry about paying for upfront legal fees.

We offer No Win No Fee on personal injury claims.

RECENCY

In most cases, the amount of time you have to seek compensation is three years from the date the accident occurred. So if your accident took place a few years ago, you may still be able to claim.

OTHER LOSSES

You may be entitled to compensation for losses other than your personal injury. Claims are split into two parts: general damages and special damages.

General damages are the compensation paid for the pain and suffering and emotional distress from your physical injury, whereas special damages relate to damaged belongings or financial losses resulting from the injury.

OUR SERVICE

We are not lawyers and we do not give legal advice. 

We offer service which aims to introduce you to our partner solicitors who specialize and handle personal injury, accident or medical negligence claims and pay us a fraction of the fees they charge.

Any agreement that you enter into for legal services will be with one of our partner solicitors and we will not be a party to it. We therefore do not accept any responsibility or related liability for any advice given to you or other work carried out on your behalf, by our partner solicitors, or any other solicitor that you chose to appoint. You are under no obligation to instruct one of our partner solicitors.

If you win your personal injury, accident or medical negligence claim, you are likely to be required to make a contribution to your legal costs and expenses.

For all other matters, you will be responsible for your legal costs and expenses.

In relation to all matters, our solicitors will discuss your funding options and obligations with you.

We operate across England and Wales. Contact us for information.
