Personal Injury FAQ

How do I make a personal injury claim?
The first step is to contact us. One of our expert personal injury solicitors will answer your call and ask you to submit all the details of your injury. The next step is to build your claim. We’ll need you to provide medical records as proof of your health prior to the injury, and we may need to interview any witnesses to strengthen your case.

We will then submit the claim to the defendant, who will either respond to the letter accepting or denying liability for the injury.

If they accept, negotiation will take place outside of court to agree on an offer for compensation. If the defendant denies responsibility, we will advise you on whether Court proceedings are necessary. In this case, we’ll challenge the defendant and request compensation from the courts.

Will I have to go to Court?
Most personal injury cases won’t see a courtroom. Most cases see the person liable for the injury accepting the request and settling it outside of Court. However, if they reject the claim, matters might get slightly more complicated and could be followed by Court proceedings. If your claim gets rejected, our personal injury lawyers will be by your side to fight for the compensation you deserve.

How much compensation will I receive?
The amount of compensation you receive will depend on a number of factors, such as:

  • The severity of the injury
  • The loss of income due to sickness leave
  • Any past or future expenses related to the injury
  • Any damage caused to your property during the accident

Once we have assessed all these factors, we’ll present you with a figure that we believe your claim is worth. We’ll also ask how much you’re willing to accept, and whether you would be willing to accept an offer to settle, also known as a Part 36 offer. We’ll advise you on whether you should make this kind of offer, depending on the circumstances.

How long will my claim take?
For simple injuries: slips, trips and falls, the process shouldn’t take longer than 8 months. However, if the injury is prolonged and you require a greater amount of compensation, or the defendant denies liability, it can take longer to negotiate a settlement. In this case, it may be possible to apply for interim payments until the case is settled.
