Personal Injury Claims FAQs
A personal injury can be physical or mental. It can also be property damage caused to you by someone else's negligence.
A personal injury claim means filing a lawsuit against the at-fault party to compensate you for your losses. Examples of personal injury cases our solicitors have seen are medical malpractice, industrial accidents, road traffic accidents, wrongful death cases and more.
It is impossible to say. Some cases are settled quickly, while others must go all the way to trial to be resolved.
A personal injury case may take a long time to settle because of problematic legal issues. For example, the case might revolve around a lot of money, or the injured party has yet to reach the point of maximum medical improvement.
A quick settlement is not always the best strategy; it pays to be patient and trust the advice of your professional personal injury solicitor.
People usually want to know what their case is worth for personal injury. The short answer is 'damages.'
Your personal injury solicitors will help you determine what your injury has ‘cost’ you physically, mentally, and financially. Then, the legally responsible person or company will reimburse the injured person.
Damage awards are usually reached by negotiation, but in rare cases, a personal injury case will make it all the way to trial. It is impossible to predict damages, as it depends on each case.
There are time limits on taking legal action in a personal injury claim. In Wales, the court proceedings must be issued within three years of your accident.
A no-win-no-fee arrangement means you will not have to pay any legal fees unless your case is successful. This allows you to pursue your claim without the worry of upfront costs. We will discuss with you as to whether this type of agreement is appropriate for your case.
As a general rule, if we agree to represent you on a Conditional Fee Agreement or a Damages Based Agreement (often known as 'No Win No Fee') you will not have to pay our costs if you are unsuccessful in the application. We will explain to you, before you enter into these types of agreements, when fees or disbursements could be payable.
However, before we agree to enter into any 'No Win No Fee' agreements, we do need to review papers and discuss matters with you. We have a duty to establish the merits and viability of your case and provide initial advice on any likelihood of success and whether a ‘No Win No fee’ agreement is appropriate. The cost for this work (prior to entering into any agreement) is chargeable. Our work, for example, could include us reviewing medical evidence or obtaining a medical opinion. We might need to review various documents to get an understanding of the case.
This work is charged on an hourly basis. The hourly rate will depend on the level of the fee-earner and would be between £225 + VAT (Total: £270) and £325 + VAT (£390 + VAT) per hour. VAT is charged at 20%. The number of hours will depend on the volume of papers and time spent in discussions with you. The total could be between £1,125 + VAT (Total: £1,350) and £3,250 + VAT (Total: £3,900). There may also be further costs if we instruct any medical or other professionals to undertake reports, as you will also have to pay their fees. Naturally, once we have a better overview of your case, we would be able to provide you with a bespoke consideration of these initial fees.
With regards to the time scale of this initial work, this again will depend on the volume of work and whether we need external professionals to undertake reports. The initial work could therefore take anywhere between 2 weeks to 2 or 3 months.
Yes, if mobility is an issue following your injury, our solicitors can visit you at home or in the hospital to ensure your comfort and convenience.
During the initial consultation, we will discuss the details of your case, provide expert advice tailored to your situation, and guide you through the options available for pursuing a compensation claim. This consultation is free and without obligation.
The time limit for making a personal injury claim can vary depending on the specifics of your case. Generally, you have three years from the date of the accident to file a claim. However, it’s best to seek legal advice as soon as possible.
Even if your injury occurred some time ago, you might still be eligible to make a claim. Contact us to discuss your case and determine the best course of action.
If you are partially at fault for the accident, you may still be able to claim compensation. The amount you receive may be reduced based on your level of responsibility. Our solicitors can provide guidance on this during your consultation.
Our commitment to understanding, empathy, and comprehensive legal support sets us apart. We prioritise your well-being and work tirelessly to secure the compensation you deserve. Our no-win-no-fee arrangement ensures that you can pursue your claim without financial risk.
