Frequently asked questions
Your personal injury questions answered.
A personal injury claim is a legal route that may allow someone injured through another party's negligence or fault to seek compensation. This can include workplace accidents, public place injuries, slips and falls, and other incidents where someone else was responsible. Each case depends on its evidence, circumstances and applicable time limits.
Personal injury claims generally have a 3-year time limit from the date of the incident, or from when you became aware of the injury. However, exceptions exist for children (no limit until 18, then 3 years) and people lacking mental capacity. It is sensible to seek specialist guidance promptly.
Keep medical records, photographs of your injuries and the accident scene, accident reports from your employer or the premises, witness details, messages and notes about symptoms, treatment and financial impact. A legal partner can explain what is most relevant to your case.
The majority of personal injury claims settle through negotiation without going to court. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your solicitor will advise on the court process and represent you throughout. No outcome can be guaranteed.
Compensation amounts depend on the severity of your injury, recovery time, impact on work and daily life, and any financial losses. General damages for pain and suffering are assessed using judicial guidelines. Special damages cover lost earnings, medical expenses and care costs. Your solicitor will provide an estimate after reviewing your case.
Yes, you may still be able to claim even if you were partly responsible. In these cases, your compensation may be reduced to reflect your share of responsibility. This is called contributory negligence. A specialist can assess whether you have a viable claim.
A Conditional Fee Arrangement (CFA) means you do not pay your solicitor fees if your claim is unsuccessful. If successful, their fees are typically recovered from the opposing party or deducted from your compensation. Success fees are capped at 25% of your compensation. All terms will be explained before you proceed.
Yes. Psychological injuries such as anxiety, depression, PTSD and stress can form part of a personal injury claim if they resulted from the same incident that caused physical injury, or in some cases on their own. Medical evidence will be needed to support your claim.
