Claiming
Compensation
Over three million people are injured in accidents each year – at home, in their cars, at work, or outdoors. In many cases, someone else or something else is at fault and the accident victims have a right to compensation.

Although personal injury law is complicated, with the help of a solicitor the process of making a claim can be quite straightforward. We offer a free initial consultation and will be able to tell you if you have a justifiable claim.
How we can help
Once you have explained the circumstances of your injury in detail, we will be able to judge:
- How likely your case is to succeed; and
- How much you might be able to claim in compensation.

The legal processes involved
We will also explain to you the legal processes involved in taking your claim further and discuss exactly how you will fund your case. We will summarise everything in writing and confirm the following:
- That we are happy to take your case on;
- The name and status of the solicitor or other person in the firm who will be your main day-to-day contact;
- How long the process is likely to take and arrangements for progress reports;
- How you are funding the case, an estimate of your costs and any agreed spending limits;
- When you might have to pay the solicitor’s costs and when you might have to pay the defendant's costs (see ‘Covering your costs’);
- Details of any more information you need to provide; and
- What you should do if, for any reason, you are not happy about the way your case is progressing.
