What injuries can I claim compensation for?
You do not have to sustain a serious personal injury to be entitled to make a compensation claim. You are entitled, in law, to compensation for any personal injury arising out of a non-fault accident which you sustain. This can include cuts, bruises and soft tissue injuries such as whiplash.
Is there a time limit on submitting a compensation claim for personal injuries?
When your personal injury was shown not to be your fault you are entitled to recover any loss which you incur as a result of an accident, including damaged clothing, expenses and loss of earnings.
Should I have reported my personal injuries to my GP or hospital?
It can be beneficial to have a written record of the injuries either at your GP or hospital but this is not essential. If you have not been to visit your GP or hospital it should not prevent us from presenting a compensation claim on your behalf.
How can a compensation claim cost me nothing?
We appoint compensation solicitors who agree to enter into a Conditional Fee Agreement in relation to their legal costs and take out an Insurance Policy to protect you against any other potential costs.
If you are successful in your compensation claim, then the responsible third party are required to pay ALL of your legal costs including the cost of your insurance premium. If for any reason you are unsuccessful in your compensation claim the Insurance Policy will cover all the legal costs.
This way the whole compensation claim costs you nothing and your rights are protected in law.
Who funds the insurance and disbursements?

What cover does the Insurance Policy provide?
If your case is unsuccessful the insurance policy covers you for any liability in respect of legal costs, disbursements and the cost of the insurance premium. You receive full cover and incur NO COST .
When you are successful the appointed solicitor recovers the insurance premiums from the third party and still you incur NO COST .
