What To Expect From The Claims Process
Investigations
The first step is to gather as much evidence as possible and conduct investigations into what happened. This all helps frame the arguments that will be made to the defendant.
Arguing the case
The next step is to present the case to the defendant and argue why we believe they’re at fault.
Negotiations and settlement
With all evidence obtained and disclosed and the picture clear between the parties, the aim is to negotiate a settlement that you’re happy with.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
In this section, we’ve included the answers to some questions we’re frequently asked. Also check our our free legal advice forum.
How Long Could My Claim Take To Settle?
If liability is admitted, No Win No Fee claims can take 6 to 12 months to resolve. If liability is disputed or if time is needed to conduct investigations or wait for injuries to heal, the claim could take longer.
Should I Accept The First Offer?
It’s generally not advised that you accept the first compensation offer, especially if that has come before you have been examined by a medical professional as part of your claim. You should always consult your lawyer on any offer received.
Is There A Time Limit To Claim Compensation?
There is a time limit when it comes to making a compensation claim. These time limits differ for each case, but as a quick summary:
- For personal injury claims, you have 3 years from the date of the accident to claim compensation
- In medical negligence claims, you have 3 years from the date of the negligent incident or the date you gained knowledge of it
- Criminal injury claims are subject to a time limit of 2 years from the date the crime is reported to the police
- Data breach claims enjoy a 6-year limitation period
- If you’re under the age of 18, the time limit does not begin to run until you turn 18.
It’s always important to double-check how long you have to claim. If you leave it too late, you may become time-barred, meaning you can’t claim at all.
Where Can I Learn More About The UK Legal System?
If you’re interested in learning more about law, then you’ll be able to find lots of helpful guides on our website which explain how to claim compensation and what the process involves.
If you’re interested in studying law, we’ve also put together a handy guide to the best law colleges in the UK.
How Is Compensation Calculated?
When making a compensation claim, it’s important to be aware of how a potential settlement is calculated. Not all case types we can help with and that are described above are calculated in this way, only personal injury claims and medical negligence, though similar considerations are made in other cases.
- First, your solicitor will look at your physical and psychological injuries to determine how severe they are and whether or not you’ll recover. The more severe and permanent the injury, the higher the payout
- Next, your solicitor will look at the financial impact the injury has had. In some serious injury claims, for example, you might be left with life-changing injuries that mean you cannot work again. It’s possible to get compensated for these effects.
