Q. What type of claim do you accept?
A We assist in most types of claims for personal injuries suffered as a result of: road accidents, accidents in the workplace, accidents whilst on holiday abroad, accidents in schools, colleges or nurseries, tripping accidents, defective products and medical negligence.

Q. Does the accident have to have happened in England?
A No, we can also help you if the accident happened abroad if, for example, you were on a package holiday and injured in an apartment, hotel, plane or even at the airport.

Q. How do I know if I can make a claim?
A Call us FREE on 0800 783 9019 to speak directly to an adviser who will assess whether you have a valid claim. Before entering the claims process, it is important to note that all claims must have three essential features:

Another person or organisation must have been negligent (at fault)

The other person or organisation must have the means to pay a sum in damages (often through their liability insurers)

The accident must have occurred within the last 3 years (aged 18 and over).

Note: If you were to blame for the accident or there was no one else involved it will not be possible to claim compensation. Although we will do everything we can to assist you, our lawyers will not be able to accept claims where the prospects of winning are less than 50%.

Q. Am I entitled to any compensation?
A If you have suffered an injury or loss (including loss of earnings) because of the actions of another person you are probably entitled to compensation. To find out for sure, call free on 0800 783 9019 or click here to submit your enquiry online.

Q. How much might my claim be worth?
A Every case is different. The amount of compensation depends on a number of factors, including the extent of your injuries, loss of income, the costs that you suffered as a result of the accident and whether you were partly to blame. Further advice regarding the amount of money you are likely to get will be available from the lawyer dealing with your claim. To read about the results of some recent cases click here.
