Personal Injury Litigation

Our Injury Claims Service includes a free no obligation initial consultation with an experienced specialist


Have You suffered Injury as a result of:

  • A road accident?

  • An accident at work?

  • A slip or trip on somebody else's property?

  • A faulty product?

  • An industrial disease?

  • A criminal act?

If someone else is to blame, you may be entitled to compensation. Even if you were partly to blame, this may not prevent you from making a claim, although it may reduce the amount of compensation you can recover.

As well as compensation for the pain and suffering caused by your injuries, you may also have lost earnings or incurred private medical expenses. You may have had to carry out repairs to your vehicle, incurred car hire charges or the cost of having someone take care of you whilst you are injured.

 

Have you considered making a claim?

 

Surprisingly, very few people ever consider making a claim. You need not be one of them - you may be entitled to claim in respect of your injuries against the person or company at fault, or their insurers.

Do not worry if the accident was some time ago, it may still be possible to pursue the claim. If the injury happened within the last 3 years, you should be able to claim. There are even cases where you can still claim if the injury was over 3 years ago. However, for your claim to have the highest chance of success it is best to take advice about an injury claim at an early stage. Ask our advice about this.

 


 

Examples of what you can claim for:

  • Compensation for your pain and suffering due to the injuries;

  • Loss of earnings whilst absent from work;

  • Compensation for your future loss of earnings;

  • Private medical expenses;

  • Other financial losses reasonably incurred as a direct result of the injury or accident; and

  • Legal or other costs or expenses.
     


 

Finding out is free


We offer a free first meeting with a personal injury specialist.

You can use this free advice session to find out whether you have a good case, how to go about claiming, and how much you might claim. We can arrange to see you outside office hours, or we can come to see you at home or elsewhere if you are unable to come to our office.

There is absolutely no obligation. We will tell you if you have a good claim, but you do not need to take the matter any further unless you want to.

The majority of those who have taken advantage of a free initial consultation have decided to go ahead with a claim and most of those have been successful. Even people who believed at first that their accident could not be blamed on anyone but themselves have gone on to make a successful claim.

Some claims can affect your benefits, and we can advise you on this.

 



Concerned about making a claim?

 

There could be a number of reasons why you've not already considered making a claim:

  • You may be worried about the costs involved. However, there are many ways in which costs can be covered for you.
     

  • You may be wary of going to court, or feel that you do not know enough about the legal process. Many successful cases are settled before anyone has to go to court. These days the court actively encourages people to try and settle their case without the need for a hearing and the majority of cases are settled before proceedings are issued.
     

  • You may believe that the person you think is to blame would not be able to pay any compensation. Most companies and organisations are covered by insurance for this type of claim.

  • You may not think it is worth the trouble, or that your claim would be dismissed by a judge as trivial. We would not accept your case if we did not think you were entitled to at least £1000 in compensation for your injury alone. If it appears that your claim will be worth less than £1000 then, if you wish, we can advise you on how you can best pursue your claim as a small claim.

The advantage of our free initial consultation is that you can ask an experienced specialist about all of these concerns, and more, free of charge and with no obligation. What have you got to lose?
