COMPENSATION CLAIMS

Compensation claims are the financial sum awarded by a court, to a claimant that has been the victim of personal injury caused by negligence, through no fault of their own. This can refer to a number of incidents, including personal injury or personal loss. There are numerous types of compensation claim solicitors, some that are specialised in for example medical claims and others that provide services for all types of claims.

If you have been injured as a result of an accident that wasn't your fault, you can start the process of your claim now, by using our compensation claim form.

Most compensation claims are made for accidents resulting from negligence. Commercial businesses and government organisations, such as direct employers, high street stores bus drivers, pubs/restaurants, and councils have health and safety responsibilities which they must adhere too. If these entities do not take reasonable care as set out by their internal policies and the law, and you are injured or hurt as a result, you may have a strong case for a personal injury compensation claim.

Anyone living within the UK, who has suffered an accident through no fault of their own, is entitled to file a personal injury compensation claim.

In most personal injury cases, there are strict time limits to take legal action. Unless the claim is for a child, a personal injury claim would need to be filed within three years of realising that the injury was the fault of another party. Children would usually have up until their 21st birthday to file a claim.

To file a personal injury claim, you must prove that someone had breached their duty of care which directly caused you to suffer a personal injury or a personal loss as a result.

Detailed expert evidence is often also required in disease cases to show that the condition suffered by a claimant was caused by exposure to a particular substance.

Whether the injury caused a level of disability

Some personal injuries can leave you with a permanent level of disability, these injuries will be assessed by a expert medical examiner as part of the process of making a compensation claim

Length of time taken to recover

Injuries that correct themselves within a few weeks of the accident will receive far less compensation than those that take many years to recover from, or in serious cases, leave the person with permanent health problems.

Age at the time of the accident

Compensation amounts are typically larger for younger people as any permanent injuries will affect them for a greater portion of their lives

Severity of the injury

Minor injuries such as cuts and bruises will receive lower compensation amounts compared with serious injuries such as broken bones, brain damage or internal injuries.
