Personal Injury Claims

Thinking of starting a personal injury claim? Call our Solicitors now for free legal advice.

A Personal Injury claim is a legal case if you have suffered an accident such as trip, fall, or a life-changing injury that you’re seeking to claim some form of compensation from the person or company who was responsible for the accident. If you are intending to make personal injury claims you need to realize that you are time-bound and it is, therefore, best to speak to a No Win No Fee Solicitor as soon as possible.

For most Personal Injury claims attributed to negligence, the time limit is three years from the time of the accident. However, there are a few exempts. If your mental capacity was affected gravely by the Accident at Work or you discover the negligence much later and can prove it then the court can extend the three-year limit.

Legal Costs for Personal Injury Claims

Accident Claims Solicitors are expensive as they charge by the hour. It is, therefore, best to seek the services of our No Win No Fee Solicitors to represent you. No Win No Fee means that you don’t need the stress of trying to raise a deposit to hire a solicitor. Instead, the risk is on the solicitor taking the case and in the event of a loss, the solicitor gets nothing. So, in this way our personal injury solicitors must make sure they need to win your claim. Your Personal Injury Claims Solicitor will advise you to take up insurance to cover the possible court fees that may arise if you lose your Personal Injury claim. If you win the case, the solicitor’s fee is paid from the compensation received from the defendants. This is referred to as a ‘success fee’.

If you are a member of a trade union, contact them as soon as the accident occurs and they will instruct their team of Personal Injury Claims Solicitors on your behalf. This way you don’t have to pay anything for the proceedings.

Compensation Amount For Personal Injury Claims

The amount of compensation you get in a Personal Injury Claim depends on the severity of the injury and the impact it has had on your life. For personal injury claims, there are two types of damages that you could possibly receive.

• General damages- this is to compensate you for the pain, anguish, and suffering you have gone through since the accident happened.
• Special damages- this is to compensate you for the financial losses you have incurred since the accident happened.
