You are entitled to claim personal injury compensation if you have suffered in a non-fault accident. The most common claimers are drivers and passengers of cars. Please bear in mind that each passenger is entitled to claim personal injury compensation whether it was the fault of your driver or not. You are also entitled to claim personal injury compensation when you have been involved in an accident in a taxi, on a bus, as a pedestrian, as a cyclist, at work or even when you tripped on an uneven pavement in the street
Yes, of course. According to the law you can claim personal injury compensation within three years after the accident happened. If you still have any symptoms, your compensation will depend on whether you went to your GP or hospital after the accident, whether you took some time off work , whether you have any bills from medication or physiotherapy etc. Each case is different so please contact our team of advisors who will analyse and assess your case.
The final sum of your personal injury compensation is determined by many factors. First of all, it depends on the severity of the injuries you have suffered. A person who has suffered from paralysis, broken bones, visible scars or permanent injuries will be entitled to a higher personal injury compensation than a person who has suffered from minor injuries, for instance, neck pain or back pain. A medical report that shows time of full recovery etc is very important. Other factors that are important to your claim include: your age and health condition before an accident, medical appointments, physiotherapy, hospital treatments, and influences of an accident on your work and private life. Contact out team of personal injury advisors who will analyse your case.
You are entitled to claim personal injury compensation as normal. Your case will be considered by Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB) which is an organisation who helps to receive compensation when the third party was not insured or runs away from the accident scene and there are no personal details (uninsured or untraced motorist).
You do not pay us anything. Our costs, costs of our solicitors and other costs (medical reports, pricing a vehicle) are reclaimed from the third party insurer after the successful case. It is agreed in Conditional Fee Agreement CFA which is send to every client to be sign after accepting the person’s case.
Only 5% of cases go to court. Most of the cases we deal with are simple without any suspicious of fault so litigation (court proceedings) will not be necessary. If the other party will not admit fault, we will consider court proceedings. It the other party’s insurer does not cooperate, reach the deadlines (exchange of document, placing an offer) we will consider court proceedings. You will only attend court when the trial will happen (even when court proceeding has started the third party insurer may draw back).
Yes. You are not a resident of the UK but you are a citizen of the European Union, so you can claim personal injury compensation just like a UK resident would. The form of correspondence will be agreed (for example if you wish to be informing via email). If your case is successfully won we will make sure you receive your money.
You are entitled to claim personal injury compensation as Insurers from EU Member States have branches in the UK.
It works the same way as for adult’s, however, you must act as a legal guardian of the child and make decisions on behalf of the child. Statutory time for claiming compensation for a child is 3 years from child’s eighteen birthday.
In a case of non fault accident you are entitled to receive reimbursement of your loss of earnings. If the accident influences the work you could perform in the future, you could receive personal injury compensation as well (for example, you were a construction worker but as a result of the accident you will not be able to lift heavy things). The same applies if you were self-employed.
The above examples aim to give as much information as possible on the procedures of claiming your personal injury compensation. If you still have questions, do not hesitate to contact our team of personal injury advisors.
