FAQs on personal injury compensation claims


How long do I have to claim? 3 years?

Perhaps longer. Generally, you must issue Court proceedings within 3 years of the incident causing the injury, but if you did not know of the cause or the injury until later, the 3 years will usually 'run' from the date you become aware. Also, if you were under 18 at the time of the accident, time does not start to 'tick' until your 18th birthday. If you are unsure, send us a brief explanation and we will do our best to work out your entitlement.

 

What can I do if I can't afford to claim?

In a 'No Win - No Fee' claim, we pay everything until your case is finished and, even if you lose you still have nothing to pay. Details on various ways to fund your case are on our "Who Pays and How" page.  

 

What if the opponent is bankrupt?

If the company or person was insured for the risk at the time, then it could still be possible to make a claim.

 

Can I still make a claim if I am fully recovered?

Yes. We can request a report on the basis of your medical records. Also, your own evidence of how you were is perfectly okay as evidence of your injuries.

 

Are my injuries worth claiming for?

You'd probably be surprised! Contact us using the Form below and we'll give you a preliminary idea. In addition to damages for your injuries, there may be lots of other losses you should be claiming for.

 

What if I am partly to blame?

You can still make a claim. Click here for examples of real cases won at Court.
