Any person who has been injured through no fault of their own in the last three years generally has the right to make a claim for compensation.
The sum paid in compensation should reflect the pain and suffering from the injury as well as any other out of pocket expenses incurred, such as time off work, telephone calls and travel costs.
The most common types of personal injury claims are:
- Road Traffic Accidents (Drivers, Passengers, Pedestrians)
- Accidents in the Workplace
- Slips, Trips & Falls (Public Places, Supermarkets, Shops, Pavements)ÂÂ
Making a compensation claim for personal injury should be a fairly straight forward process, it is recommended that legal advice is taken as soon after the accident as possible – most specialist injury Solicitors will not make any charge for giving advice about making a claim, if you are asked to pay a fee go elsewhere!
If the Solicitor feels confident that you can make a personal injury compensation claim they will normally take your case on a No Win, No Fee basis, in fact there should be no fee regardless of whether you win or lose as their costs are either written off (if you lose) or paid by the other party or their insurance company (if you win).
