What is Personal Injury?

Personal Injury relates to any type of injury suffered to a person due to the fault or negligence of another. If you believe that you, or a loved one, has been injured as a result of someone else’s negligence then please call our specialist Personal Injury Lawyers today on 01256 844888.

Claims for personal injury are subject to time limitations. Usually a claim must be made within 3 years of the date of the accident or incident; however, it can sometimes be accepted later if the injury or full extent of the injury is not diagnosed until a later date. 

A successful claim will see you awarded with compensation in the form of financial remedy.
The size of your compensation will depend on the severity of your injuries and the length of period of pain and suffering, along with the financial losses incurred, such as loss of earnings, cost of care, travelling expenses, medical expenses and adaptations to your home or car.

A personal injury claim is most likely to reach settlement through your legal experts negotiating with the negligent party, however if an agreement cannot be reached then our specialist team have the knowledge and skills required to ensure that justice is obtained through the Court.
