Personal Injury

Despite the Citizen's Advice Bureau dealing with over one hundred thousand personal injury queries a year, research suggests that less than one third actually make a claim. If you do suffer an injury, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible, not only for your health, but as a key source of evidence of the injury. Most types of accident have a 12 month limitation period, so it is important to seek advice promptly. It is useful to know that, although most personal injuries involve claims are made against a motor insurer, it is still possible to claim for personal injuries in cases of unidentified drivers, from an insurance industry body known as the Motor Insurer's Bureau.

Often, personal injury lawyers are able to take on your case on a 'no win, no fee' basis. This simply means that you do not have any risk if the claim is unsuccessful - the risk lies with the solicitors. Clearly, for them to do so, they must have the belief that your case stands a reasonable chance, meaning you can avoid wasting time pursuing something that will likely fail. However, if you are particularly determined about your case, you will be able to find a specialist who can help you gather the necessary evidence and follow the appropriate legal processes to maximise your case's strength. Many solicitors also offer '100% compensation', which simply means they claim separately from the other party for their fees, making personal injury arguably one of the most 'victim friendly' areas of law in terms of access to good professional advice.
