What is a Personal Injury Claim?
A personal injury claim, sometimes referred to as an accident compensation case, arises when an individual suffers psychological harm or physical injury—such as fractures, whiplash, or sprains—because of another party’s negligence or breach of duty. In such situations, the injured person may be entitled to damages or financial redress.
Workplace Accidents
If you’ve sustained an on-the-job injury, you may be able to pursue a work-related compensation claim. Our experienced solicitors, who specialise in industrial and occupational accidents, have successfully dealt with a wide range of cases. U.K. Health and Safety legislation is in place to protect employees, and if your employer has failed to safeguard you, you could recover Compensation for your injuries and other financial losses, such as lost earnings during your recovery.
Slips, Trips and Falls
Fall-related incidents are among the most common types of public accidents. Whether it occurs on the street, in a shopping centre, or at work, the person or business responsible for maintaining the property may be liable for your injuries. Even a minor slip can result in serious harm, such as broken bones, spinal damage, or head trauma. If you’ve needed medical treatment following such an accident, you may be entitled to a settlement.
Criminal Injury Claims
If you have been an innocent victim of violence and suffered assault-related trauma—physical or emotional—you may be eligible for a victim compensation claim under the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) scheme. Our specialist lawyers have assisted many clients in securing monetary awards after enduring the effects of violent crime.
Fatal Injury Cases
Losing a loved one due to wrongful death or negligence is devastating, both emotionally and financially. If a family member has died in a workplace accident, road collision, or medical negligence case, you and your family may be entitled to pursue a bereavement compensation claim. Such claims help provide financial support during a difficult time.

How Long Will It Take?
The duration of a damages claim depends mainly on two factors:
- Liability – Determining who was responsible for the accident.
- Medical Evidence – Assessing the extent of your injuries and the impact on your quality of life.
Time Limits
In most cases, you must start a compensation claim within three years of the incident. Acting quickly helps ensure the strongest possible case.
