Your entitlement to make a claim

An individual may be entitled to make a claim if they have suffered harm or loss due to someone else’s negligence. The foundation of such claims typically rests on the principles of negligence and duty of care. To succeed in a negligence claim, the claimant must establish that the defendant owed them a duty of care, breached this duty, and that this breach directly caused the claimant’s injury or loss.

A duty of care arises in situations where it is reasonably foreseeable that one party’s actions could affect another, such as the responsibility a driver has to other road users. If the defendant’s actions fall below the standard expected of a “reasonable person” and result in harm, they may be considered negligent.

Furthermore, the harm suffered must not be too remote, meaning it should be a foreseeable consequence of the breach. In proving these elements, claimants demonstrate they were entitled to be protected from such harm under the law, laying the basis for a compensation claim.

No win, no fee injury lawyers

We provide our claims on a on a ‘no win no fee’ basis (otherwise known as a conditional fee agreement). This means that you are unlikely to be required to pay any legal fees if your personal injury claim is unsuccessful.

We always offer the ‘No Win, No Fee’ Agreement in conjunction with an ATE insurance policy so that you will not incur any personal liability for your opponent’s legal costs, such as court fees, if the claim were to fail.

This means that you will not have to pay any fees if you lose, and you will therefore be able to pursue your claim with a great degree of security. This insurance policy is known as after the event insurance (ATE).

If you lose, you will not be required to pay for the insurance. If your claim is successful, you will be responsible for the payment of our success fee and the insurance premium which would be deducted from your final award of compensation.

How much compensation could you be entitled to?

The amount of compensation you could receive can vary significantly and depends on different factors. It is challenging to provide an exact figure without knowing the specific details of your case. Compensation typically covers two main categories of damages: 

Special Damages:

These are the quantifiable financial losses you have incurred as a result of the accident. They may include:

• Medical expenses: Compensation for current and future medical treatment, surgeries, medications, therapy, and rehabilitation. Medical record will be required for these expenses.
• Loss of earnings: Compensation for the income you have lost due to an injury, including future earning potential if your injury has forced you to take time off work. 

General Damages:

These are non-economic losses that are more subjective and can be challenging to quantify. They may include:

• Pain and suffering: Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life resulting from the accident and injury.
• Emotional distress: Compensation for psychological trauma, anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) caused by the accident.

There are compensation calculators online which can provide a general estimation on the compensation you may receive. However, it is important to consult with lawyers for injuries who can assess your case’s specific details, evaluate the potential value of your no win, no fee claim, and provide you with a more accurate estimation of the compensation you could receive based on their expertise and experience in handling similar cases.

Time limits for making a personal injury claim

There are specific time limits, known as limitation periods, for making a personal injury compensation claim. Typically, you must make a claim within 3 years of the date the injury occurred or from the date you became aware of the injury and its impact.

For injuries caused by a crime, such as an assault, you may claim through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). The time limit for CICA claims is generally 2 years from the date of the crime or from when you became aware of the injury’s impact.

However, it is important to note that there are some exceptions and variations to the general limitation period. These exceptions include the following:

• Minors: If the injury claim involves a person who was under the age of 18 at the time when the injury occurred, the three-year limitation period does not begin until their 18th birthday. In such cases, a claim can be made at any time before the person turns 21.
• Mental Capacity: If the injured person lacks the mental capacity to manage legal decisions, there is no time limit for making a claim. The limitation period only starts when the person regains capacity. For individuals with injuries who may lack mental capacity, the Mental Capacity Act 2005 provides a framework for assessing whether they can understand, retain, use, and communicate information relevant to a decision.
