Personal Injury

If you have been injured in a road traffic accident that was not your fault or not entirely your fault, you may be able to claim compensation for the injuries you have sustained, whether you were a driver, passenger, motorcyclist, cyclist or pedestrian.

Our road traffic accident solicitors deal with all types of RTA compensation claims, including where serious and life-changing injuries have been sustained. We will ensure that you have robust representation and that our advice to you is clear and practical.

If you are injured while at work because of your employer’s negligence or the negligence of a co-worker, you may be able to claim compensation for your injuries. Your employer has a duty of care towards you, and if they breach this and you are harmed as a result, our workplace accident claims solicitors can represent you in legal action.

Whether your injuries were caused by an unsafe working environment, insufficient training, a lack of safety equipment, or someone else’s negligent actions, we can build a strong case on your behalf to secure the payment you deserve.

We know it may seem difficult to make a personal injury claim against an employer and we will ensure that you have the help and representation you need throughout.

If you have been injured in a public place, for example, slipped, tripped or fallen on a wet supermarket floor or uneven pavement, you may be entitled to compensation if you have sustained injuries.

Our slip, trip and fall solicitors can take on your case. We will assemble a robust claim on your behalf and contact the organisation responsible for your injuries to notify them of what happened. If they admit liability, we may be able to negotiate a settlement on your behalf.

We can take your claim to court if liability is denied or they do not offer a sufficient sum.

The length of time a personal injury claim takes will depend on several factors, including the severity of your injuries and whether the other side admits liability. If your injuries are relatively minor and the other party admits liability and is willing to make a negotiated settlement, a claim can be settled within a year.

If you have been badly injured, then you will often be advised to wait to settle to see what your prognosis is and what level of recovery you achieve. Where settlement is likely to be a long way off, we can request interim payments from the other side to give you financial support during your case.

In order to make a successful personal injury claim, we will need to prove that:

• You were owed a duty of care
• This duty of care was breached
• You were harmed as a result of the breach of the duty of care

Our personal injury solicitors have wide experience of proving cases and a strong track record of success in securing the best possible compensation packages for our clients.

You will usually need to start a personal injury claim within three years of the incident.

In the case of a child, the three-year period starts from the date of their 18th birthday. There is no time limit for individuals who do not have the mental capacity to manage their own affairs.
