Personal Injury Claims

Accidents can have a significant impact, affecting not only your health but your ability to work, your finances, and your day-to-day life.

Early advice is important to understand your position and ensure that the right steps are taken from the outset.

Where an injury has been caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to bring a claim for compensation. Our Dispute Resolution team provides clear, practical advice to help you assess your claim and move matters forward.

The types of claims we deal with

We act in a range of personal injury matters, including road traffic accidents, accidents at work, and accidents in public places.

Road traffic accident claims may arise from collisions involving cars, motorcycles, cyclists, or pedestrians, and often involve issues of liability.

Employers’ liability claims arise where an injury occurs in the workplace, often due to unsafe systems of work, inadequate training, or a failure to provide appropriate equipment.

Public liability claims involve accidents in public or private spaces, such as slips, trips, or other incidents caused by unsafe premises.

Funding your claim

In appropriate cases, we are able to act under a Conditional Fee Agreement (commonly referred to as a “no win, no fee” arrangement).

This means that, subject to the terms of the agreement, you will not be required to pay our legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful. We will discuss funding options with you at the outset and provide clear advice on the most suitable approach based on your circumstances.

How we can help

Personal injury claims require a careful and structured approach. Establishing negligence, gathering evidence, and assessing the value of a claim are all key stages in the process.

We work with clients to understand what has happened, assess the strength of the claim, and identify the most effective way forward.

Where appropriate, we seek to resolve claims through negotiation at an early stage. Many personal injury claims settle without the need for court proceedings. However, where necessary, we are experienced in pursuing claims through the courts.

Our focus is on achieving a fair and proportionate outcome while keeping the process clear and manageable.

A practical and supportive approach

We recognise that bringing a claim can feel like a significant step, particularly where you are already dealing with the effects of an injury.

Our role is to provide clear, straightforward advice, guide you through the process, and ensure that your position is properly represented throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions

A personal injury claim arises where you have suffered injury as a result of another party’s negligence. This may involve a failure to take reasonable care, unsafe working conditions, or a failure to maintain premises properly. In each case, the key issue is whether the injury could and should have been avoided. Personal injury claims can involve both physical and psychological injury, as well as the financial consequences that follow.
If you have been injured and believe someone else may be responsible, it is important to seek advice as soon as possible. Personal injury claims are subject to strict time limits, and claims must be brought before 3 years post-accident. Early action can help preserve evidence and improve the prospects of a successful outcome. In many cases, the early stages of a claim are critical. The approach taken at the outset - including gathering evidence and engaging with the other party - will often shape how the claim progresses and whether it can be resolved without the need for court proceedings.
The purpose of a personal injury claim is to place you, so far as possible, in the position you would have been in had the accident not occurred. This may include compensation for pain and suffering, as well as financial losses such as loss of earnings, medical expenses, and the cost of ongoing care or treatment. The value of a claim will depend on the nature of the injury, its impact, and the evidence available.
