Personal InjuryPersonal Injury

What is Personal Injury?

An injury you may suffer may seem personal but in legal terms a personal injury is where a person, company or some other organisation is to blame (at least partly) for your injuries. They may have been negligent, which means that the person or organisation did not take proper care in the way something was:-

  • Done
  • Made
  • Repaired

If somebody is negligent, they may have to pay you compensation for your injuries.

A personal injury can happen, for example:-

  • At work
  • In a road traffic accident
  • Because of a faulty product
  • Because of a mistake during medical treatment
  • Because you were a victim of crime
  • Because you tripped on a paving stone or slipped on a wet floor

An injury may be psychological as well as physical, so you may be able to get compensation for distress or upset after an accident, as well as the physical injury.

We have many years of experience in dealing with all types of personal injury and accident claims as well as industrial disease claims. Our team can advise you whether your injuries are likely to give rise to a claim for compensation.

No-win, No-fee

We operate a no win, no fee scheme which means that if your claim is not successful you will not have to pay any fees to us for the work that we do on your behalf. If you are successful it is likely that the person who has been negligent will have to pay not only your compensation but also your legal costs. If not in the whole then certainly a very large part and we adhere to the most professional standards so that the compensation you receive will not be eaten up by legal fees. We offer a free initial consultation and are always willing to visit you at home or in hospital to talk through your situation.
