FAQ’s

How do I make a personal injury claim?

A personal injury claim must be made within 3 years of the date of the accident, or before your 21st birthday if the accident occurred whilst you were under the age of 18.

The action required will depend on the severity of your injuries, and the type of accident you have been involved in.

The majority of personal injury claims, but not all, will be uploaded onto the Personal Injury Portal. The Defendant’s insurers will then undertake investigations, and provide us with their liability position.

If liability is admitted, we will need to obtain medical evidence detailing the injuries you have sustained, and your likely prognosis. This evidence will allow us to value your claim, and put forward a settlement offer, which would include the damages for your injuries, as well as any financial losses you have incurred such as your loss of earnings.

If liability is denied, court proceedings may be needed to determine the issue of liability, and any damages that should be awarded.
