Had an accident recently? Looking to make a claim?

 

You may be entitled to make an accident claim for many different accidents such as road traffic accidents, work accidents, slip, trip and falls, sports injuries and whiplash injuries.

How much compensation you can claim for personal injury, or accident claim differs from case to case. If you’d like to know what compensation you might be able to claim for your own personal injury then the best advice would be to ask a personal injury solicitor.

Even though you may have what seems to be a solid case for a compensation claim, personal injury solicitors should give you the best chance of putting your case together and ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve if the case goes to court.

There are different time limits within which you must begin legal action in a personal injury claim. You should get legal advice urgently if you want to claim compensation.

The most common claim in a personal injury case is negligence and the time limit for this is 3 years. This means that court proceedings must be issued within 3 years of you first being aware that you have suffered an injury.

In some cases, a court may decide to extend a time limit, depending on the circumstances of the case.

Legal action for compensation for a personal injury can be expensive. You might be able to get help with legal costs from a conditional fee agreement or an insurance policy - many house contents policies, car insurance or travel insurance policies have legal expenses cover attached.
