How the claims process works

  • Initial discussion: we take the details of what happened and give you a straight view on whether a claim looks arguable.
  • Funding: we check any existing legal expenses insurance and explain the funding options available for your case in writing.
  • Investigation: we notify the party at fault, request records, CCTV and reports, and gather witness evidence.
  • Medical evidence: an independent expert examines you and reports on your injuries, treatment and likely recovery.
  • Valuation and negotiation: we value the injury and your financial losses and negotiate on your behalf.
  • Resolution: most claims settle by agreement. Where they do not, and the evidence supports it, we advise on court proceedings.

No Win No Fee information

  • Many personal injury claims are funded by a Conditional Fee Agreement, commonly called No Win No Fee. Whether one is available depends on the facts of your case and is confirmed only after we have assessed it.
  • Where such an agreement is offered, there is normally nothing to pay up front, and we set out in writing what you would pay in every possible outcome, including any success fee, insurance premium and disbursements, before you sign.
  • You may already hold legal expenses cover through home, motor or credit card insurance, or through a trade union. We check this with you at the outset because it may be the better option.

Evidence and documentation

  • Photographs or video of the scene, the hazard and your injuries, taken as soon as possible.
  • Any report made at the time, such as an accident book entry, incident report or police reference number.
  • Names and contact details of anyone who saw what happened.
  • Medical records covering every appointment, referral and course of treatment.
  • Evidence of financial loss: payslips, invoices, receipts, travel costs and details of care given by family.

Time limits

  • In England and Wales the standard limitation period for a personal injury claim is three years from the date of the accident.
  • Where an injury or illness develops over time, the period usually runs from the date you first knew it was linked to someone else's actions.
  • For children the three year period does not begin until their eighteenth birthday.
  • Where a person lacks mental capacity, the limitation clock may not run while that incapacity continues.
  • Some routes carry shorter deadlines, and Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own rules, so it is safer to take advice early.

Compensation overview

  • General damages compensate for the injury itself, the pain it caused and its effect on your daily life. This is assessed using medical evidence and published judicial guidelines.
  • Special damages cover the financial consequences you can evidence, such as lost earnings, treatment costs, travel, care and any equipment or adaptations you have needed.
  • Where injuries have longer term effects, future losses such as ongoing treatment or reduced earning capacity can also be considered.
  • No solicitor can tell you what a claim is worth at the outset. Value depends on the medical evidence and the losses that are proved.
