Make a personal injury claim with the help of our expert Personal Injury Lawyers

Start with a free no-obligation exploratory call

If you are unsure whether you have grounds for an accident claim, we offer a free and confidential initial call to understand what happened.

There is no obligation to proceed. The call is simply an opportunity to ask questions and understand your options.

During this conversation, we will:

  • Listen carefully to what has happened
  • Explain whether the circumstances may allow a claim
  • Talk you through how the process works
  • Explain how fees are handled, including our No Win No Fee agreement
When should you reach out? 

We assist people who have been injured because of someone else’s actions or failures, including:

We support both people who were directly injured and those who have suffered serious psychological harm after witnessing or being closely involved in a traumatic event affecting someone close to them. In these cases, the law requires a recognised medical condition, which we can discuss with you in clear terms.

If you have lost someone in an accident, we can advise you sensitively on what claims may be available and guide you through the process at a pace that feels right for you. Or if your enquiry relates to medical treatment, misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, click here to read more about making a Medical Negligence claim.

How we handle your accident claim 

Making a claim can feel unfamiliar, particularly if you are recovering from an injury or supporting someone close to you. Our role is to manage the legal process so that you know what to expect at each stage.

  1. Listening to You

We begin by understanding what happened and how it has affected you or your family.

  1. Gathering Evidence

We collect the information needed to support the claim, including disclosure documents, photographs, videos, medical records and other relevant documents.

  1. Assessing the Value

Our injury lawyers assess how the event has affected you physically, emotionally, and financially. We also instruct top medical experts to examine and report to assist us in assessing the value of your claim.

  1. Dealing with the Other Side

We handle communication and negotiation with insurers or those responsible, removing the burden from you during this stressful time.

  1. Bringing the Matter to a Conclusion

Most claims settle without going to court. If a hearing is required, we prepare you carefully and support you throughout, so that you’re always aware of what comes next.

Our personal injury team mainly work as No Win No Fee solicitors. In practical terms, this means:

  • You don’t pay legal fees up front
  • If the claim is not successful, you don’t pay our legal fees
  • If the claim succeeds, we take a capped success fee of up to 25 percent
Why choose our personal injury lawyers? 

Choosing a solicitor after an accident is an important decision. Many of the people who contact us are doing so at a difficult time.

Our approach is straightforward.

  • We listen first: Every situation is different. We take the time to understand what has happened before advising on the best way forward.
  • Clear and honest advice: We explain your options in plain language so you can make informed decisions. If yours is a matter that we cannot help with, we can signpost you to other services that may be of assistance.
  • Experience in accident claims: Our team has many years of experience helping individuals and families affected by accidents and serious injuries.
  • Support throughout the process: We know that bringing a claim can feel unfamiliar. We guide you through each stage and keep you informed, so there are no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I claim as part of the legal process? 

Compensation varies depending on your case. This can range from loss of earnings as a result of your personal injury, travel expenses, professional care costs, and payment for emotional or psychological harm. Our No Win No Fee solicitors provide clear and realistic advice as to what you can expect upon the resolution of your case.

Who can bring a claim?

Usually, the injured person brings the claim. In some cases, a parent, close family member, or personal representative may act on behalf of a child, someone who cannot manage their own affairs, or following a fatal accident.

What if I was not physically injured but suffered trauma?

If you have suffered serious psychological harm after being directly involved in, or closely witnessing, a traumatic event, you may still have a claim. This normally requires a recognised medical condition, which we can discuss with you.

How long do I have to make a claim?

In most cases, there is a three-year time limit from the date of the accident. Different rules apply for children and fatal cases, which we can explain.

Will I have to go to court?

Most claims settle without a court hearing. If a hearing is necessary, our personal injury lawyers will guide you through the process.

How long will it take?

The length of a claim depends on the circumstances and whether responsibility is accepted. Once we have reviewed the details, we will give you a realistic indication of timescales.
