If you have been injured in an accident which was someone else’s fault, you could make a personal injury claim. Personal injury claims could be made for accidents at work, in public places or on the road.

To claim compensation after an accident, you must show that another party owed you a duty of care and that their negligence caused your injuries or losses. Most people instruct a solicitor who specialises in personal injury law. The process usually involves collecting evidence, submitting a claim to the responsible party or their insurer, and negotiating a fair settlement.
Useful evidence includes medical reports, witness statements, photographs of the accident scene, CCTV footage, and financial records showing losses. Keep receipts for travel, treatment, and damaged property. Your solicitor will use this information to prove fault and calculate how much compensation you could be entitled to.
For most personal injury claims, you have three years from the date of the accident to start legal proceedings. There are exceptions, for example, children have until their 21st birthday, and cases involving lack of mental capacity may have no time limit until capacity is regained
Yes, it’s possible to claim compensation without legal representation, but it can be challenging. A solicitor can assess the strength of your case, gather evidence, value your claim accurately, and negotiate with insurers on your behalf, often on a No Win No Fee basis, meaning you only pay if your claim succeeds.
Straightforward claims can settle within a few months if liability is admitted. Complex cases involving serious injury, disputes over fault, or long-term prognosis may take a year or more to conclude. Your solicitor will keep you informed throughout the process.
Yes. You can claim on behalf of a child, a loved one who has died, or someone lacking mental capacity. In such cases, you would act as a “litigation friend” or personal representative to pursue the claim in their best interests.
If the defendant denies liability, your solicitor will use evidence such as witness statements, medical reports, and expert testimony to challenge their position. If negotiations fail, your case may proceed to court, though most claims are resolved before reaching this stage.
