Starting Your Shrewsbury Personal Injury Claim

A valid personal injury claim involves two key factors:

  1. The injured person originally entered a situation expecting to be safe and secure and was unaware of any dangers in the area created by another party.
  2. Another party displayed negligence and breached their duty of care.

For a personal injury claim to be successful, supporting evidence will be required to prove that another party behaved negligently and ultimately breached their “duty of care”. And this could allow you to file valid compensation claims.

Our team of solicitors work right alongside you from day one to build as strong a case as we possibly can, gathering all the necessary evidence required to increase the chances of you being awarded rightful financial compensation.

Additionally, our personal injury solicitors for Shrewsbury are specialists in all types of claims. Indeed, they have years of operating in this industry with many examples of successfully winning back thousands of pounds worth of personal injury compensation.

Just some of the types of claims we are capable of handling include:

  • Road traffic collisions (covering injuries like whiplash, bruises and broken bones).
  • Accidents in the workplace (including offices, warehouses, labour sites or any other working environment).
  • Slips, trips, and falls on privately or publicly owned property.
  • Head, neck and spine injuries.
  • Accidents suffered whilst on holiday.
  • Food poisoning.

Evidence That Can Support A Personal Injury Claim

An important part of the personal injury claims process is collecting evidence that supports your case. For example, you would need evidence to prove who is liable for the harm you suffered, the extent of your injuries, or the way your injuries have affected your finances.

Evidence that may be useful for personal injury claims in the UK could include:

  • CCTV footage
  • Photographs of your injuries
  • Photographs of the accident site
  • Witness contact details
  • Medical reports
  • Bills, invoices, and receipts for expenses related to your injuries

Time Limit For Starting A Personal Injury Claim

The limitation period for claiming after an accident in Shrewsbury is usually three years from the date you were injured. However, it may be suspended under some circumstances. For example:

  • The time limit is suspended for children and does not begin until their 18th birthday. They then have until they are 21 years of age to take action.
  • If a claimant is unable to start their own claim due to lacking the mental capacity to do so, the time limit is suspended indefinitely. It would only begin from the date they became mentally capable of making a claim.

Whilst the time limit is suspended, a litigation friend can start a claim on behalf of a minor or someone who lacks the required mental capacity to bring forward their own claim. This is an adult with the claimant’s best interests in mind.

After an accident in Shrewsbury, our solicitors could help you submit a claim in full and before the time limit that applies to your case expires. Get in touch for more information.

Shrewsbury Personal Injury Solicitors FAQs

What is No Win No Fee?

This is a policy that we use to protect the financial interests of our claimants.

So, how does it achieve this?

Well, the claimant only pays their personal injury lawyer’s legal fees if their case wins.

How much do they have to pay the solicitor if the case is successful?

They would pay an agreeable amount that comes under the title of a success fee, a figure that has a legal cap.

So, what is the legal cap?

Under UK law, the solicitor’s success fee cannot exceed 25% of the compensation settlement.

And what happens if the case loses?

The victim doesn’t pay a single penny in their solicitor’s own legal costs in that scenario.

When does the claimant make the payment?

This is at the end of the case, so there are no surprise charges before or during the claims process.

How long does the claims process last?

It usually takes around 12-18 months for the claim to reach its conclusion.

And what factors could influence the final compensation settlement?

These include the nature of the damage, the extent of liability, and the severity of the damage.
