Common Questions

What does no win no fee mean?

No win no fee (Conditional Fee Agreement) means your solicitor only gets paid if your claim succeeds. If you lose, you typically won't have to pay your solicitor's fees. If you win, a success fee (capped at 25% of your compensation) is deducted from your damages.

How long do I have to make a personal injury claim?

You generally have 3 years from the date of the accident or from when you first became aware of the injury (the date of knowledge). For children, the 3-year limit starts from their 18th birthday. Court protection applies for those lacking mental capacity.

What can I claim compensation for?

You can claim for pain and suffering (general damages), loss of earnings (past and future), medical treatment costs, travel expenses, care and assistance, adaptations to your home, and any other financial losses caused by the injury.

How long does a personal injury claim take?

Simple claims (e.g. minor road traffic accidents) can settle within 6-9 months. More complex cases involving serious injuries, ongoing treatment, or disputes over liability can take 2-3 years or longer, especially if court proceedings are issued.

Do I need to go to court for a personal injury claim?

The vast majority of personal injury claims (over 95%) settle out of court through negotiation. Court proceedings are only issued if the other side disputes liability or the amount of compensation cannot be agreed.
