How Can Personal Injury Solicitors For Southwark Injury Claims Help?

Clients often ask us “What does a personal injury solicitor do?” The answer to that is that they are a qualified solicitor that provides legal services to individuals claiming compensation for personal injuries.

They will represent you in your personal injury case, whether your claim is settled in or out of court. If you have been injured or made ill because of an accident caused by the negligence of a 3rd party then call Legal Expert to find the best personal injury lawyer from our team to help you claim compensation.

What Grounds Enable You To Make A Personal Injury Claim

In order to claim compensation successfully, your personal injury solicitor will have to provide evidence that your claim meets certain criteria. We have listed these criteria below:

1. Firstly your lawyer will need to prove that you (the Claimant) were owed a “duty of care” by the Defendant. This means that the defendant was legally obliged to uphold your health and safety. For example, if you were a customer in a shop, the shop’s duty of care would have meant that they were responsible for providing you a safe and hygienic environment in which to shop.
2. Secondly of all, your personal injury solicitor must prove that the Defendant (who you are claiming against) did not uphold their ‘duty of care‘ towards the Claimant. Usually this is a negligent action or inaction, for example, a shop neglecting their duty of care towards a shopper, by not correctly fixing a display item to the wall. This display item came loose from the wall and fell on a shopper, crushing, them.
3. Thirdly, the personal injury solicitor will have to prove that the Defendant’s negligent action or inaction, directly caused the injuries or illness suffered by the Claimant. In the case of a crushing injury, if the customer broke a bone as a result, the solicitor will be able to use medical evidence, eyewitness reports and CCTV to provide evidence that this was the case.

If you believe that your personal injury case meets these criteria, you could potentially be able to claim damages. Follow the steps below, or call Legal Expert today to discuss finding the right personal injury solicitor in London or elsewhere to represent your claim. Remember, whilst we are not based here, we can still help you.

Things To Consider When Choosing The Right Personal Injury Lawyer

When choosing personal injury solicitors for Southwark, there are a few key things to consider. Our advisory team can provide more information about claiming with us, but we have set out a few key factors to consider here:

1. Does the solicitor have sufficient experience handling claims like mine?
2. Do they have a proven track record of winning compensation for clients?
3. Can I trust the firm to handle my claim with efficiency, professionalism and discretion?
4. Do they offer No Win No Fee agreements so that I’m protected from large legal fees?

At Legal Expert, we satisfy all of these factors and more besides. Our solicitors have years of experience across a huge variety of claims; in fact, we have won over £80 million in compensation for our clients over the years.

To find out more about how our No Win No Fee solicitors for Southwark could help you get the compensation you deserve, talk to our advisors today using the contact information given below.

Does The Location Of My Solicitor Affect My Claim?

Clients who are based in Southwark often believe that they have to use a personal injury solicitor based in Southwark, or a personal injury lawyer based elsewhere in London, to handle their claim. This may have been the case in the past, but in this day and age you do not have to use a solicitor from a personal injury law firm in Southwark, London to handle your claim, if there is a more suitable solicitor based elsewhere.

At Legal Expert, we value a solicitor’s experience, skills and area of specialism over their location, and will prioritise supplying you a lawyer that has the relevant expertise to handle your personal injury case. If you are not assigned a solicitor in London to handle your claim, but a solicitor based elsewhere in the country, you can communicate with them remotely via post, phone and email, when they are working on your personal injury case.

If you require a medical assessment before your solicitor starts working on your personal injury case, then of course Legal Expert can arrange for this to be done locally.

To find an experienced personal injury lawyer, to work on your personal injury compensation claim call Legal Expert today for free personal injury claims advice and to get started with your claim.

No Win No Fee Personal Injury Solicitors For Southwark Injury Claims

We can potentially provide support from No Win No Fee solicitors for Southwark injury claims to those that have a valid case. When one of our solicitors agrees to support your claim, they’ll offer to work for you under a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). Under such an agreement:

• You will not be required to pay your solicitor for their services before your claim starts or while it is in progress.
• If your claim doesn’t succeed, then you normally won’t be expected to pay your solicitor for their work. This should mean that solicitors for Southwark injury claims will only take such cases on if they are confident of a successful outcome.
• If your claim proves successful, then your solicitor will receive payment for their services by subtracting a small percentage of the compensation awarded. This payment is called a success fee and the percentage your solicitor can take is legally capped to ensure you get to keep most of your compensation.

To learn more about No Win No Fee personal injury solicitors for Southwark injury claims, please contact our advisors for free today. Our team can answer any questions you may have about the claiming process. To reach out, you can:

• Call us on 0800 073 8804

Can I Claim Compensation For Accidents, Injuries, Or Illnesses Which Were Not My Fault?

In general, if you have come to harm in some way through the actions of a third party, a personal injury solicitor should be able to process a claim for you. You are not limited to claiming for physical injuries. You can claim for any harm, such as:

• A disease or illness that was caused by the actions of a third party.
• Psychological damage, such as post-traumatic stress disorder that was caused by the actions of a third party.
• Physical injuries were sustained in an accident that a third party caused.

The term “third-party” here denotes any distinct legal entity. This could be anyone from the UK Government to one of your friends. For example, all of the following is a legal entity you could claim against:

• Your landlord.
• Your employer.
• The local bus company.
• Another driver.
• A private individual.
• Your local council.
• A supermarket or restaurant.
• The local church.

As we can see, pretty much every business, enterprise, and organisation can be pursued for compensation. You should also be able to claim for accidents that were partly your fault. Just because you contributed to your injuries doesn’t mean the third parties involved walk away scot-free. And you can still claim compensation from them, but at a reduced rate driven by the percentage of liability, they admit to.

If you are still confused over why you might be eligible to make a claim, please call Legal Expert on the number at the bottom of this guide. One of our Hartlepool personal injury solicitors will listen to you explain how you came to harm and then let you know a) whether you are eligible to make a claim and b) who you should be pursuing for compensation.

Five Reasons To Use A Personal Injury Solicitor

You need to make sure that you have a specialist personal injury lawyer possible to process your claim, and here are five reasons why:

1. The more experienced your solicitor is, the higher the chance will be of your claim being successful.
2. The more skilled your solicitor is, the more chance you will be awarded the maximum amount of compensation possible.
3. Your solicitor will be able to shoulder the cost of the claim under a Conditional Fee Agreement.
4. Your solicitor should be able to arrange for you to receive a free local medical examination in your area to support your claim.
5. Your solicitor is a specialist in negotiating injury and accident settlements, meaning there will be a high chance that your claim will be settled out of court.

If you would like to learn how Legal Expert can assist you with your claim, please speak to one of our team on the number at the end of this page.

Why Should You Read Solicitor Reviews?

Finding a good legal team is going to take work. You will need to create a list of potential solicitors, then start calling them up to check them out. A good way to cut down on this effort is to find a site that contains personal injury solicitor reviews. You can use these reviews to shortlist several personal injury solicitors covering Hartlepool before choosing one. The information you need to extract from each review should be:

• Did the reviewer have a good experience?
• Was the claim made under a Conditional Fee Agreement?
• How much did the solicitor charge as a fee? Was it a percentage of the payment received?
• Did the review list the pros and cons of dealing with the particular legal team?
• Was the solicitor able to arrange for local services, such as a free medical examination?

Facts such as these can be correlated across reviews, and you should then be able to create a shortlist. If you don’t have the time to go through this long-winded process, you can call Legal Expert on the number at the bottom of the page about how to claim. One of our team will discuss all of your legal options with you and set you on the right track towards starting your claim.

Can I Use Solicitors And Lawyers From Other Parts Of The Country?

Many people who need to make an accident or injury claim wrongly believe that there is some legal reason why they have to use local law firms in their area. The simple truth is that you are free to use any legal firm you wish, no matter where they happen to be located.

Keeping this in mind, you now need to decide whether the ease of dealing with a local firm outweighs the advantages of using a specialist injury lawyer to process your claim. A specialist injury lawyer could have a much better chance of winning your claim and securing you the maximum compensation payout possible.

For example, Legal Expert offers our injury and accident claims service across the entire UK. Our Hartlepool personal injury solicitors specialise in helping the victims of accidents to get the compensation they are entitled to. We could also book you a medical assessment in this area.

What Accidents And Injuries Can I Claim Compensation For?

As a specialist personal injury lawyer, Legal Expert can handle just about any injury or accident claim. From a minor slip, trip and fall accident through to cases of clinical negligence that resulted in the death of a patient.

Of course, there are some types of claims we see more frequently than others. We have gone over these types of claims in their sections below. If your type of claim isn’t included in one of these sections, never fear. We can still help you. Call one of our team on the number at the end of this guide, and explain how your accident happened. They will then

Industrial Disease Claims

If your employer exposes you to a health hazard and becomes ill because of it, you would have a valid reason to make a claim. Every employer in the UK is legally obligated to provide a healthy working environment for its staff.

You can also claim against previous employers who exposed you to a health hazard. For example, if you worked some years ago for a demolition company and were exposed to asbestos dust at the time. If you developed an asbestos-related illness recently, you could claim against your previous employer. This is because the time limit for making your claim is three years from when the medical condition is first diagnosed.

Legal Expert can help you with work-related illness and industrial disease claims. Give our Hartlepool personal injury solicitors a call on the number at the end of this guide, and we will explain how to claim.

Medical Negligence Claims

The graph above shows the number of children up to the age of 14 admitted to hospital in Hartlepool. Any of these children could have become the victim of clinical negligence while they were in the hospital.

From care stuff to brain surgeons, every medical professional has a duty of care towards every patient. When they fail in this duty of care, clinical negligence or medical malpractice could be deemed to have taken place. A typical case would look like this:

1. A medical professional has a clear duty of care towards a patient.
2. The medical professional failed in this duty of care, and this caused harm to the patient.
3. The failure in duty of care could have been avoided.

If you believe that you have a reason to make such a claim or need some medical negligence advice, please call Legal Expert on the number at the bottom of the page. You might also find this guide to be useful:

Slip, Trip, And Fall Injury Claims

Of all the claims we handle here at Legal Expert, these are the most common of all, excluding road traffic accidents. These simple accidents can happen anywhere and can be caused by hazards such as:

• Torn or frayed carpets.
• Cracked or broken floor tiles.
• Warped wooden floorboards.
• Broken or badly laid paving slabs.
• Wet or dirty floors.
• Obstacles left on public pathways.

No matter how your slip, trip or fall happened, we should be able to help. Call us on the number at the end of the page to find out how.

Serious Injury Claims

Often, the claims which result in the largest compensation payments are those for serious injuries. These are injuries that will entirely negatively change a person’s life, for example:

• Severe brain damage (loss of motor or cognitive function).
• Loss of or damage to an internal organ.
• Severe psychological injuries.
• Loss of a limb such as an arm or a leg.
• Palatalises of a single limb, from the waist down (paraplegia) or from the neck down (quadriplegia).

These injuries will all have a very negative effect on the life quality of the claimant, and as such, would likely attract significant compensation settlements. Legal Expert can help you to get the most compensation possible in your serious injury claim.

Hartlepool Personal Injury Solicitors FAQs

What is a No Win No Fee service?

This is a policy that many law firms such as ourselves use to protect the claimant financially.

How does this work?

So, the client will only pay compensation if their solicitor wins the claim on their behalf.

What will help to win the case?

This will rely on providing strong, clear evidence that proves the responsibility of the defendant.

And what must the claimant prove?

They have to prove that the defendant breached a duty of care they owed towards you, thus causing an accident leading to the victim suffering injuries.

How much does the claimant pay their solicitor if the case wins?

The specific amount varies, but the figure itself is known as a success fee.

What is the maximum figure for the success fee?

The legal cap is 25%, though both parties could negotiate a higher amount.

And what if the case loses?

In that scenario, the claimant doesn’t have to pay anything towards their solicitor’s legal fees.

When is payment required?

This comes at the end of the case, so there aren’t any costs necessary prior to or during the case.

Could I Claim Compensation When Hurt In An Accident Which Was Not My Fault?

In general terms, any time you come to harm through the actions of a third party, a personal injury lawyer should be able to process a compensation claim for you. This is also true if you were partially to blame for the event that caused you harm. You will still claim against any third parties involved but at a lower percentage of liability, which your solicitor will negotiate with the defendant’s legal team for you. When we talk about “harm”, we mean:

• Physical injuries that were caused by an accident.
• The psychological damage that was caused by a traumatic event.
• Diseases and illnesses that were caused by the claimant being exposed to a health hazard.

Deciding who is liable in your claim is one of the first steps. Any legal entity can be pursued for compensation, such as:

• Your landlord.
• The local council.
• Your employer.
• A member of your family.
• The local hospital.
• Another driver.
• A restaurant or retail store.

Any distinct legal entity from the UK Government downwards could be liable to pay you compensation. If you need to know who might be liable in your claim, speak to one of the Legal Expert team on the number at the end of this page today.

Do I Have To Use A Personal Injury Solicitor In Hastings?

Top Rated And Reviewed Solicitors

Finding a suitable team of solicitors to handle your claim can take some effort. You will need to track down a number of legal firms who might be suitable, and then vet them by calling them up. A smarter way to tackle this task would be to find websites that carry personal injury solicitor reviews. Use the facts you extract from these reviews to create a list of legal teams you think are a good choice. When you are reading the reviews, pay close attention to facts such as:

• What the claim was made for, and if it was similar to your own
• How old the review is, and whether it is still relevant.
• The pros and cons of dealing with the solicitor being reviewed.
• Whether the reviewer had a good or bad experience dealing with the solicitor.
• The fee structure, and whether a Conditional Fee Agreement was offered.
• How much the solicitor charged.

These are the kind of facts that are important. Comparing these across a number of reviews should enable you to start making an intelligent choice. However, it is still going to take some effort to go through this process. If you don’t have the time, you can let Legal Expert help you.

Do I Have To Use A Local Solicitor?

It is a common misconception that claimants must use a local team of solicitors to process their personal injury claim. This is wrong. There is no legal requirement to use a local firm at all. You can use any firm of solicitors in the UK.

It is far better to select the best solicitor for the job, rather than one that is handily close by. You can use your local solicitors if you wish. However, the benefits of using a specialist injury and accident lawyer were outlined in a previous section; you would potentially be losing all of these benefits in doing so. Benefits may include medical checkups with our local expert,

Legal Expert has designed our accident claims service specifically to meet the needs of claimants who have been harmed by a third party. We deliver all of the benefits discussed above, as we specialise solely in this aspect of the law. If you would like to learn more about the service we offer, speak to one of our team on the number at the end of this page.

Serious Personal Injury Claims

Some of the largest compensation payments we have seen here at Legal Expert, have been for serious injury claims. If a young person is gravely injured, they could have a life expectancy of 80 or more years. If their life is changed forever by their injury, they would be compensated for every year of their life. This can very easily mount up to millions of pounds.

Legal Expert can help you to claim the maximum level of compensation possible in a serious injury claim. Speak to one of our team on the number at the end of this page to learn how. You can also read our complete guide to these types of claims here:

Havant Workplace Accident Claims

There are multiple levels of legislation that are in place to protect employees from harm. The most comprehensive of these are all of the regulations that have been set out by the Health & Safety Executive. Your employer must comply with all regulations that pertain to their industry at all times. If they don’t, and this leads to a member of staff being injured, then a valid reason to make a claim would exist.

Legal Expert is a very experienced team of workplace accident lawyers. We have helped many people to claim the compensation they are entitled too, due to their employer allowing them to be hurt at work. Call us on the number at the bottom of the page to find out how we can help with your claim.

It should contain all of the information you need to learn about why you might be eligible to make a claim, who might be liable to pay compensation, and how to choose a good legal team to handle your claim for you.

When Am I Eligible To Make A Personal Injury Claim?

There are many reasons why a third party might be liable for compensation due to their actions causing you harm, such as:

• You suffered physical injuries that were caused by the actions of a third party.
• You became ill or contracted a disease that was caused by the actions of a third party.
• You have developed a severe psychological condition due to the actions of a third party.

When we say the third party, we are talking about any distinctly separate legal entity, for example:

• A supermarket
• A restaurant.
• Your landlord.
• The local council.
• A restaurant.
• The driver of a car.
• A travel company.

As you can see, pretty much every person, company, organisation or government body can be pursued for compensation if they took action that caused you harm.

And our personal injury solicitors for Hemel Hempstead can also advise on how to claim online today.

What Sort Of Claims Can Personal Injury Solicitors For Hemel Hempstead Help With?

Our No Win No Fee solicitors for Hemel Hempstead can handle many different types of personal injury claims, including:

• Accident at work claims. For example, if your employer did not provide suitable training and you suffered an injury while carrying heavy goods, you may have the right to seek compensation.
• Road traffic accident cases. If someone else’s failure to adhere to speed limits causes you to suffer whiplash, broken bones or any other type of injury in a car crash, you could claim against them.
• A public liability claim, meaning a claim made against the operator of a public space. For example, you could claim for a slip and fall if supermarket staff cleaned a floor and did not signpost or warn customers about the wet surface.

Whether you see your case in the list above or had a slightly different experience, we can help. Simply call our free helpline today to learn more.

Five Quick Reasons Why You Should Use A Solicitor To Make Your Claim

There are many reasons why it simply makes sense to use a personal injury solicitor to process your claim. In the UK you can do all of the work yourself, but it is not recommended. For these reasons:

• A solicitor will be able to help you prepare for your claim and gather evidence.
• A solicitor will be more experienced at processing claims, meaning they have a higher chance of success.
• A solicitor will be skilled in negotiating a settlement, meaning they will likely get you more compensation.
• A solicitor understands the law and how to represent you in court if an out of court settlement can’t be reached.
• A solicitor can offset their legal fees and only charge you if they win your claim for you.

Legal Expert covers all of these issues above. We are a specialist injury and accident firm, and we can help you get the compensation that is rightfully yours. Call us on the number at the end of the page to learn how.

Do I Have To Use Personal Injury Solicitors In Hemel Hempstead?

To answer the question, should I use the solicitor near to me? The answer is no; you should use the right solicitor. In some cases, the right solicitor could be a local solicitor or a solicitor 100 miles away, regardless of their location. You are under no legal obligation to use a local solicitor to process your claim.

More important than location is how skilled and experienced the solicitor is in handling claims similar to your own. A specialist team of accident and injury solicitors is going to be the best choice. So, unless your local solicitor is a specialist in processing such claims, you would probably better off searching further afield. For example, Legal Expert provides a specialised accident and injury claims service to all residents of the UK. We focus entirely on helping claimants get the maximum level of compensation they can for their injuries or illness.

Call our advisors to learn more about how our personal injury solicitors for Hemel Hempstead could help you.

Welcome to our personal injury solicitors for Redbridge guide. The London Borough of Redbridge is in East London and borders the county of Essex. If you are a Redbridge resident who has been injured in an accident attributable to someone else in the last three years, you could be entitled to claim compensation for your injuries. Whether your accident involved: a road traffic accident, an accident at work, or another scenario, as long as your accident was attributable to negligence, which itself was due to the actions of a third party, you could be entitled to claim compensation for your injuries.

Trust Legal Expert, a specialist and expert personal injury law firm, presents a top-class personal injury solicitor covering the Redbridge area to handle your claim.

What Does A Personal Injury Solicitor Do?

A personal injury solicitor represents an individual who is claiming personal injury compensation. The solicitor provides the claimant with legal services and handles the workload of the compensation claim. Suppose you have been injured, in Redbridge or are a resident of Redbridge and suffered elsewhere in an accident that you were not responsible for. In that case, you could be entitled to claim compensation from the person, business or organisation responsible.

If you trust a personal injury solicitor from Legal Expert to handle your claim, we are sure that you will be happy with the service that you receive. Our personal injury solicitors for Redbridge have up to thirty years of experience in the field. They will always fight to secure you the best possible compensation settlement you are entitled to.

To see how much compensation you could potentially claim, call Legal Expert today for your free personal injury claims advice and consultation. If you have valid grounds to claim, we will supply you with an excellent personal injury solicitor covering London (or elsewhere) to help you claim compensation. Call 0800 073 8804 today to enquire about making a personal injury claim.

How The Specialist Team From Legal Expert Can Help You

Legal Expert is a personal injury claims law firm that provides solicitors to people across the country, including Redbridge. Suppose you have valid reasons to claim compensation for an accident or injury attributable to negligence due to somebody else’s actions. In that case, we can probably help you claim compensation for that negligence. We will now look into what criteria you need to meet to claim personal injury compensation in more detail.

Establishing The Duty of Care

Below are some of the main criteria for making a personal injury claim. To successfully make this type of claim on behalf of you, your personal injury solicitor will have to prove the following:

1. First of all, your solicitor will have to provide evidence that you (the claimant) were owed a “duty of care” by the defendant. In legal terms, this means that you had a relationship where the defendant was supposed to uphold your health and safety. For example, hospital staff are obliged to deliver high standards of care towards the patients, and drivers have a responsibility to drive in a way that will not endanger other road users.
2. Secondly, your personal injury lawyer will have to prove that the defendant did not uphold the duty of care, and this negligence caused an avoidable accident. So if we take the example of a drunk driver that hit you as you were crossing the road, they failed their duty of care towards you as a pedestrian.
3. Thirdly, the solicitor will have to prove that the accident was a direct cause of your injuries. For example, suppose you suffered a pedestrian accident because of a drunk driver. In that case, your solicitor could use eyewitness accounts, CCTV footage and your medical report to prove this was what caused your injuries.

If you believe you meet the criteria to make this personal injury claim, call Legal Expert today. The personal injury solicitors for Redbridge that we work with can then help you from that point onwards.

Things To Consider When Choosing A Personal Injury Lawyer

Here are some quick tips for finding your personal injury lawyer covering the Redbridge area to represent your claim.

1. Suppose you are given a choice between using a personal injury law firm. In that case, whether they are in London or elsewhere or a claims management company (CMC), we recommend that you use a personal injury law firm like Legal Expert to ensure that a qualified personal injury solicitor handles your claim.
2. Ensure that your solicitor is fully qualified and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
3. If you require a specialist solicitor to help you make a personal injury claim, such as a road traffic accident claims solicitor, medical negligence solicitor or accident at work solicitor, take some time to research what different firms specialise in. Alternatively, call Legal Expert to find the right personal injury solicitor to handle your claim. We can provide you with a solicitor that has the right skills and experience to handle your claim.
4. It’s good to talk. If you have a friend or family member who has been involved in a personal injury case in the past, ask them for advice about their experiences.
5. Take advantage of Legal Expert’s free personal injury consultation. No matter what injury or illness you have suffered, we can provide you with an excellent personal injury solicitor to handle your claim.

Welcome to our Westminster personal injury solicitors guide. If you have been involved in an accident and it was not your fault, there is a high chance you will be entitled to compensation. This guide will reveal everything you need to know about claiming with personal injury solicitors covering Westminster. However, you don’t necessarily need to use those based in this area. This includes finding the best solicitors, the different sorts of claims solicitors work on, and the service we provide on 0800 073 8804. If you have any queries by the time you get to the end, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

What is a personal injury claim?

A personal injury claim relates to making a case for a monetary payout because you have been injured in an accident that was not your fault. This will cover all associated costs, from the cost of treatment to loss of income.

How we can help you claim for damages after an accident that was not your fault

A personal injury law firm can help you get the compensation you deserve, as can Legal Expert. We will take you through the claims process, helping you every step of the way. This makes sure you do not feel left in the dark. Personal injury law can be complex, which is why you need to have an experienced law professional on your side to give you the greatest chance of compensation. Please get in touch with our personal injury solicitors for Westminster to learn how to claim today.

What are my rights to make an injury claim?

Have you been involved in an accident that was not your fault? Perhaps you were injured whilst in the workplace? Maybe you have suffered at the hands of medical negligence? Perhaps you were involved in a road traffic accident? Whatever your situation may be, you are probably thinking about making a personal injury claim. Of course, you will want to get the money you are entitled to. However, if you do not have grounds for compensation, the last thing you want to do is waste your time. Therefore, keep on reading to discover whether you should make an accident claim in Westminster.

Who caused the accident?

The first thing you need to do is determine who caused the accident. Someone else needs to be responsible if you are to make a personal injury case. You need to be able to prove that their error or negligence has led to your suffering.

When did the incident occur?

You also need to think about the date of the incident. This is because there is a time limit on all personal injury cases. This time limit is three years. Please note that court proceedings must be issued within this period. Suppose you have sustained an injury that has developed over time, and you want to make an accident claim, such as repetitive strain injury or industrial deafness. In that case, you will have three years from the date of your diagnosis instead. We can explain more about how to begin your claim online if you contact the Westminster personal injury solicitors today.

Did you see a doctor?

Last but not least, you will not be able to make an accident claim if you have not seen a doctor. You must be professionally diagnosed with your injuries if you are to claim. The medical report is one of the most important pieces of evidence. It does not matter how minor you deem your injury to be; you need to see a doctor.

Hopefully, you should now understand whether you have the basis for a personal injury claim or not.

How to find a solicitor for your case – five top tips

1. Experience – First and foremost, when choosing the best solicitor to handle your accident claim, it is vital to look for someone that has a considerable amount of experience. The last thing you want is to be their practice project. You want to be safe knowing that they have handled cases similar to yours time and time before.
2. No Win No Fee service – You should choose a solicitor that is happy to work on a No Win No Fee basis. There are many benefits to be gained by doing this. You will not need any money to begin your claim, and financial risk is minimised substantially as you pay in relation to the outcome of your case. This ensures you benefit from a much better service, as the outcome of your case impacts the solicitor. Moreover, you can also be safe in the knowledge that you won’t fall victim to a solicitor that merely wants to take your cash and does not care about your chances of getting compensation.
3. Communication – It is vital to be able to get in touch with your solicitor easily. Make sure they have an email and a telephone number for you to use and that they respond to both before agreeing to use their services. It is crucial to be kept in the know.
4. Reviews – Read reviews that previous clients have left. What have they got to say about the service they experienced? Would they recommend it? Did they enjoy working with the solicitor in question? This is the best way to get an honest insight into the service you are likely to experience.
5. Success rate – Last but not least, look for a personal injury solicitor with a high success rate. If a solicitor does not tend to win their cases, this will not fill you with confidence that they will be able to get compensation for you.

Reviews of solicitors can be helpful

When looking for the best personal injury solicitors for Westminster, reviews can be incredibly helpful. However, nothing substitutes for speaking to the solicitor on the phone. This will be incredibly telling.

Your solicitor does not need to be based in your area

Many people assume that their only option is to use the services of a Westminster personal injury solicitor. This is not the case. You can use a solicitor based anywhere in the UK. This means you can choose someone based on experience rather than being forced to work with an individual that is merely convenient yet not qualified enough.

In the table below, you can see more about the local medical experts you could be seeing, as your medical exam does not have to be carried out far from where you live.

What accident at work and personal injury claims do we handle?

We handle a wide range of personal injury claims here at Legal Expert. Below, you will find information on some of the most common. This table also provides a snapshot of what you may receive in compensation as per the Judicial College’s estimates.

We help people claim for industrial diseases

There are lots of different types of industrial diseases you can claim for. Industrial hearing loss is one of the most common. Hearing loss can, of course, be one of the most stressful and upsetting injuries. Usually, this is an injury that occurs over time. In fact, many people who claim this type of accident find that they claim against an employer they worked for years and years ago. This is typical for an industrial accident at work claim. Therefore, people assume they cannot claim. This is not the case, though. You can do this, and we can help you.

We help people claim for medical negligence

The Westminster personal injury solicitors that we work with can also help you claim if you have been a clinical or medical negligence victim. This means that you have been injured or suffered an illness because of a medical mistake and/or poor standards. Some of the most common examples include misdiagnosis, late diagnosis, surgical mistakes, poor hygiene, and much more.

We help people claim for injuries caused by a slip or fall

Have you been the victim of a slip or trip that was not your fault? Maybe you slipped on a wet floor that wasn’t marked? Perhaps you tripped over a broken pavement? Whatever the situation may be, you will be entitled to compensation.

Nevertheless, if you are entitled to compensation, you need to make sure you visit a doctor. There are a lot of people that would rather cope with their injuries alone when they are minor. But, if you do this, there will be no proof of your injury, and thus a successful claim becomes somewhat impossible.

So, what will you be compensated for when you make your claim? When it comes to claims involving slips and trips, there are two forms of payout. Firstly, you will receive a payout for the injury you have sustained, i.e. the suffering you have endured and the impact it has had on your life. Secondly, you will receive special damages compensation. This relates to any out of pocket expenses you have encountered because of the accident, such as travel and medical expenses. Make sure you keep your receipts as proof!

We help people claim for the most serious injuries

We also help people claim with nationwide personal injury solicitors, not necessarily based there, but that cover the area if they have sustained a serious injury. We have helped a lot of individuals with serious head and brain injuries. We can also assist if you need to claim on behalf of someone else because their injuries are too severe or because they have been involved in a fatal accident.

When can you claim compensation for an accident at work?

It does not matter where you work or what industry you work in. It is your employer’s legal duty to make sure the working environment is safe. All workplaces have risks. Some environments are more dangerous than others, such as manufacturing services and the construction industry. Nonetheless, there can still be risks in office environments and such as well.

Your employer is responsible for you and all of the other staff members. They have to ensure the workplace is as safe as possible. If a possible danger has arisen, they need to inform everyone of this and provide information regarding the hazards.

Do you believe that you have been injured in the workplace because of your employer’s inability to act in the way that is legally required of them? Sadly workplace accidents are not uncommon, as you will discover from the table in the next section.

You are well within your right to make an accident at work claim if you have been injured in the workplace and believe your employer is at fault. You need to prove that they have made an error or acted negligently. There are many arguments you could place forward. For instance, your employer may have failed to….

• Provide a safe working environment
• Inform you of any risks or hazards
• Give you the necessary safety training
• Provide pivotal protection equipment

Those four examples are just a handful of what may have applied to your case. You need to make sure you do if you are planning on claiming against your employer to report the incident to them. They will need to record it in their accident book, which they are legally required to have by law. If you get in touch today, our personal injury solicitors for Westminster can explain more about these rules and regulations.

When can you claim compensation for a road traffic accident?

We have years of experience in these claims, and we can help you get the maximum amount of compensation you deserve for the likes of whiplash.

Westminster Personal Injury Solicitors FAQs

What is a Letter Of Claim?

This puts the accident victim’s intention to file a claim against the defendant in writing.

Who is the defendant?

This is the person or organisation that holds responsibility for the accident in the opinion of the claimant.

What happens when the defendant receives the Letter Of Claim?

They have 28 days in which to respond by either admitting or denying liability.

So, what happens if they admit liability at that point?

This would allow for the fast agreement of a suitable settlement.

But what if the defendant denies liability?

In that case, court proceedings officially begin, though settlement negotiations would continue between both sides.

Why might the defendant refuse to accept liability?

They may feel that they’re not responsible for the accident, or they may feel that there isn’t enough sufficient evidence.

What are the odds of the case ending up in court?

It’s very unlikely as the vast majority of cases focusing on strong evidence have an out-of-court settlement.

What are the pros and cons of the case going to court?

For the client, the main positive is that they could then achieve their maximum compensation target. But the downside is that the legal costs to reach the trial would also increase, and they still may not win.

What is a personal injury claim?

A personal injury claim is when a solicitor puts together a case to secure compensation for someone who has been injured in an incident that was not their fault. This money will cover all of the costs associated with the injury, from treatment expenses to loss of income.

How our team can help you to make your claim

Here at Legal Expert, we have years of experience in the industry. We will do everything in our power to launch a successful No Win, No Fee compensation claim, securing you the maximum amount of compensation possible. There is no denying that personal injury law is complex, and those who have tried to tackle this themselves have lived to regret it. You do not get a second chance to make a compensation claim, so you certainly do not want to take any risks.

What are my rights to making a personal injury claim? Making a personal injury claim is an area that holds a great degree of ambiguity for many people. They don’t know whether they should make a compensation claim or not. It is a lot easier than you think when it comes to deciding whether you should proceed with your case. Read on to discover three questions you have to ask yourself to come up with the right answer. Alternatively, contact us to ask Ashton Under Lyne personal injury solicitors about how to claim.

Did the injury occur because of someone else’s error or negligence?

This is the first question you need to ask yourself. You certainly cannot make a personal injury claim if you were responsible for the accident. You must be certain that it occurred because of someone else’s error or negligence.

When were you injured?

A lot of people do not realise it, but there is a personal injury claim deadline. You have three years from the accident date to make your claim. Nonetheless, you definitely should not leave it to chance, especially as court proceedings must be issued before the three-year period is up.

Did you receive medical attention for your whiplash injury or whatever injury you had?

Last but not least, the final thing you need to prove is the fact you received medical attention for the injuries you experienced. Many people make the mistake of thinking they can cope with the effects of the injury themselves. However, if you do not see a doctor, there will be no proof that you even had a whiplash injury to begin with.

So there you have it, if you can answer yes to the three questions that have been mentioned in this post, you can be quietly confident that you have an excellent chance of getting compensation. The only thing you need to do now is getting in touch with Legal Expert, and we will handle everything for you.

Checklist for when finding the right solicitor to conduct your claim

Read on to discover the qualities you should look out for when choosing accident lawyers…

No Win No Fee – When using the services of accident lawyers, there is no denying that payment is one of the most important areas of consideration. Nevertheless, the good news is that there is a cost-efficient option available in a No Win No Fee service. You should consider going down this route, as you will only need to pay legal fees if your case is a success. Not only does this minimise the risk associated with making a claim, but also it ensures you benefit from a much better service too, as the solicitor will be incentivised to win your case.

Track record – Make sure the solicitor has a good track record for successful cases!

Experience – You should look for a solicitor that has a considerable degree of experience in the industry. You certainly don’t want to use the services of someone that is effectively learning on the job. You should also make sure that they have experience in the type of claim you are making, i.e. if you have been involved in a construction accident, you will want a lawyer that has experience in workplace accident claims.

UK based and registered – Don’t take this for granted and assume that it is the case. You should check first. However, you don’t need to look for Ashton-Under-Lyne personal injury solicitors that are based right there. You can use nationwide lawyers also.

Credibility – Last but not least, it is a good idea to read reviews that have been left by previous clients. By doing this, you will be able to get an honest assessment regarding the level of quality you are likely to benefit from if you use the solicitor’s services in question.

Read reviews of solicitors

Again, it’s important to read reviews when looking for Ashton Under Lyne personal injury solicitors. Nevertheless, your first phone call will be exceptionally telling. You will instantly get a feel as to whether this is the right person for you or not.

Location matters less than Experience

Many people assume they can only use the services of solicitors in Ashton and the nearby area. This is not the case. You can work with a personal injury law firm based anywhere in the UK. This means you can pick someone based on their track record rather than their location dictating whether or not you should use their services.

In the table below, you can see some of the local medical experts you could see in the course of your case. As you can see, you may not have to travel far to do so.

Typical categories and forms of personal injury claim our team conducts

Injuries happen every day. If a person sustains an injury through no fault of their own, they will likely be entitled to compensation. However, a lot of people struggle to know whether their injury will lead to a valid claim. To help you better understand, continue reading to find out more about some of the most common claim types that our personal injury lawyers deal with.

Industrial illness and disease claims

All injuries are distressing. However, many people will agree that industrial diseases, including industrial hearing loss, have the worst injuries. Unfortunately, some individuals experience hearing loss because of their working environment. If your employer has not taken the necessary steps to prevent this from happening, you will be entitled to compensation. You may find that this means you are claiming against an employer you no longer work for. You may feel that you, therefore, cannot make a claim. However, this could not be further from the truth. In such cases, the three-year time limit begins from the date of the diagnosis. Our personal injury solicitors for Ashton Under Lyne can advise further on this as you learn how to claim online.

Clinical malpractice and negligence claims

We can also help you claim if you have been injured due to medical negligence, which is also referred to as clinical negligence. This occurs when you have been subject to a poor standard of medical care, which has resulted in your condition getting worse or a new illness or injury. Some of the most common examples of this include misdiagnosis, late diagnosis, surgical errors, and illnesses caused by a generally poor standard of care and hygiene in the hospital.

Fall or slip injury and accident claims

This is another extremely popular type of injury that leads to personal injury claims. This injury can occur in several different ways, from falling over a broken pavement to slipping on an unmarked wet floor. It can also happen in many different environments. No matter the scenario, we can help you to make a successful claim. Call us today for more information about making a slip, trip, or fall case.

Serious illness and injury claims

What is considered a serious injury? A serious injury is any injury that will severely impact the person for the rest of their life. Some of the most common serious injuries include bad head injuries, amputations, and lifelong back injuries. In these cases, we will help to secure the full maximum payout. One thing to note with serious injury claims is that you may need to claim on behalf of someone else because they are not in a position to do so. We would also like to point out that we have experience when it comes to fatal accident claims. This means the Ashton Under Lyne personal injury solicitors can help you claim if you have lost a loved one due to an accident.

Workplace accidents and injuries – How do I claim?

Every employer must ensure that they provide all of their employees and the general public with a safe working environment. This is a responsibility that is enforced by law in the United Kingdom. Consequently, if you have been the victim of a workplace injury that occurred because of a poor health and safety standard, you will be entitled to compensation. This is so long as the accident at work occurred within the past three years and you went to see a medical professional for your injuries. The table below provides a glimpse into what you may be able to claim for specific injuries.

Firstly, it is imperative to state that it does not matter what type of industry you work in or what type of injury you sustained. If it were not your fault, you would be compensated. Many people think health and safety issues only happen in certain work environments, such as construction sites. Whilst it is more likely for accidents to happen here, they can ultimately happen everywhere. And, no matter how dangerous the workplace can potentially be, there are regulations in place for all industries and all companies.

As mentioned earlier, all you need to do aside from proving that the injury was not your fault is ensure it happened within the last three years and that you visited a doctor. Once you have done this, the next thing to do is get in touch with Legal Expert. We will give you an honest answer regarding the strength of your case. If we don’t believe you have a good chance of a successful claim, we won’t waste your time.

Car and other vehicle road accidents – How do I claim?

Many different types of road traffic accidents can lead to injury. These claims take form in many different ways. For example, if you are a pedestrian, a cyclist, or a driver, you will claim against the responsible driver’s insurance company. Nonetheless, if the driver does not have insurance, you will make uninsured drivers claim. Yet, if you are the passenger in the vehicle that has caused the incident, you will claim the insurance company of the person driving the car. Speak to our personal injury solicitors for Ashton Under Lyne if you require any further information.

Make your claim with a No Win No Fee agreement

One of the main decisions you will have to make is whether to go for a No Win No Fee service or not. This section reveals the reasons why you should.

First and foremost, you can be sure you will benefit from the highest level of quality if you go for a No Win No Fee solicitor. Why? Well, they will only take your case if they believe you have a good chance of getting compensation. They won’t waste your time. Moreover, they are impacted by the outcome of your case more than a traditional solicitor, so you can be certain your claim will be getting the amount of attention it deserves.

In addition to this, you will also reap the rewards of financial benefits. You do not need any money to begin your claim. This is pivotal, as usually the main hurdle when making a compensation case is the start-up costs. In addition to this, there are many monetary risks associated with making a personal injury claim via a traditional solicitor, as you can incur excessive costs if you do not win your case. You do not have to worry about this if you go down the No Win No Fee route.

It is quite clear to see why a No Win No Fee personal injury solicitor is the best option for anyone that has suffered an injury. Luckily, we can offer you No Win No Fee solicitors. Therefore, if you have experienced any personal injury, make sure you get in touch with us today.

Do you pay if you lose your claim?

If you read No Win No Fee claims reviews, you may have seen comments from people complaining because they have been forced to pay fees even though their case was unsuccessful. This is not the case with Legal Expert. When the Ashton Under Lyne personal injury solicitors say No Win No Fee, we mean it.

How to get more advice or information before signing up with a solicitor

When working on injury claims within the area, you don’t have to use Ashton-under-Lyne personal injury solicitors based in the area.

Plus, we are only a phone call away if you need us.

Ashton Under Lyne Personal Injury Solicitors FAQs

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

The maximum window for a typical personal injury claim is three years.

When does this 3-year window begin?

It starts from the dare of the accident and/or the date you learn of your injuries.

Are there exceptions to this rule?

Yes, the time limit would be different for any historical sexual abuse crime claims.

So, what is the time limit for sexual abuse claims?

It’s two years from when you first report it to the police, though that may not happen until many years after that.

How long does the claims process last?

Claims generally resolve after somewhere between 12 and 18 months.

What factors could shorten the claims process?

These include substantial evidence, a high-profile case and the defendant admitting liability early on.

Conversely, what factors could extend the claims process?

The main ones would be a lack of clear evidence and the defendant refusing to admit liability.

Why might the defendant avoid admitting liability?

They may genuinely feel that the case is flimsy, or perhaps they wish to avoid paying compensation.

By Stephen Hudson. Last Updated 16th October 2024. Welcome to our guide on personal injury solicitors for Barrow-in-Furness. If you have been injured in an accident that was not your fault, you will rightly be exploring the prospect of securing compensation. From product liability cases to road traffic accidents, the scenarios vary dramatically.

However, you will have an exceptional chance of getting compensation if the accident was not your fault. In this guide, you will learn everything you need to about working with personal injury solicitors and Barrow in Furness based claims, including why you don’t need to use locally based solicitors to get the payout you deserve. We will also reveal more about our service, which is also available on 0800 073 8804, and some of the most common cases.

Your rights and eligibility to claim compensation explained.

First things first, you need to decide whether you have the basis for a personal injury claim. It is important to recognise that personal injuries can occur in many different ways. You may have a bad reaction to a faulty product, you could be the victim of a road traffic accident, you may have slipped on an unmarked wet floor – the scenarios really are endless. Instead of thinking about the type of accident, what you really need to ask yourself is…

1. Was the injury your fault?
2. Did it occur in the past three years?
3. Did you receive medical attention?

If you answer ‘no’ to the first question and ‘yes’ to the other two questions, you are likely to be eligible for compensation. Nonetheless, to get further clarification regarding your chances all you need to do is get in touch with Legal Expert.

Checklist to help you find personal injury solicitors for Barrow-in-Furness

Claims are made for a whole host of different reasons. From product liability cases, to food poisoning, to car crashes, to medical negligence, to construction accidents, the scenarios vary dramatically. Nonetheless, there is one thing that all claims have in common, and this is the need to have a good solicitor fighting your corner. Read on to discover what your solicitor needs to have:

Experience

It is always advisable to go for a personal injury lawyer that boasts a significant degree of experience. The last thing you want is to be someone’s practice project. You want to be safe in the knowledge that they have provided their services for plenty of personal injury victims time and time before.

Great reputation

Read reviews that have been left by other people that have used the services of the solicitor in question. What have they had to say about their experience? Were they happy? Would they recommend the solicitor? Did they have any complaints? This is the best way to get an honest assessment into the service you are likely to experience yourself.

Track record

How many cases has the personal injury solicitor handled? How many have they won?

Good communication

It is imperative that your solicitor communicates with you frequently and explains everything in a way that is easy for you to understand. The last thing you want to do is feel left in the dark. No one wants to have to make phone call after phone call in order to merely get an update regarding the progress of their case.

Should I trust online solicitor reviews?

When it comes to reading an online solicitor review, make sure you use an independent review platform so that you can be certain of the authenticity. Moreover, recognise that reviews are only part of the narrowing down process. Your first conversation with the company in question will be incredibly telling.

Location vs experience

A lot of people assume they can only work with Barrow in Furness personal injury solicitors in the actual area. This is not the case. You can work with anyone based in the UK, meaning you can choose experience over the location.

Modern technology allows almost every procedure to take place remotely. Things like video chats and emails can be used to discuss your claim in detail and to keep you updated on the process.

Compensation claims that we can conduct

If you have been injured, we can help you secure compensation. Use the sections below to find out more about some of the claims we handle. Please know that we can handle many more types of claims than these. This is just a handful of some of the most common cases.

I had a workplace accident – can I claim compensation?

No matter where you work, whether you have a job at a warehouse or you work in an office, your employer has a responsibility to ensure the working environment is safe for you and all your fellow employees. The law places this duty upon them. Yes, there are working areas that tend to be more dangerous than others, such as constructions sites.

However, the truth is, accidents can happen anywhere. Therefore, if you have suffered a workplace injury because of poor health and safety, you will be entitled to compensation.

So, what happens if you have suffered an injury in the workplace, what do you do next? It is important to gather as much information as possible. You will need to see a medical professional, as there will need to be proof that you have received medical attention if you are to make a successful personal injury claim.

You also need to report your accident in the workplace so that your employer can make a record of it. This is a critical part of personal injury law.

I was injured in a road traffic accident – can I claim compensation?

Have you been injured in a road traffic accident? Our personal injury solicitors have years of experience when it comes to personal injury claims and car accidents. We have helped those injured while driving, cycling, and on their motorbike. You can also claim if you were a passenger or if you were merely walking and minding your own business when someone drove into you.

No matter what has happened, whether someone was speeding or not paying attention while driving, we will make sure you get the maximum amount of compensation that is available. For more information about your case and the claims process, please do not hesitate to give our personal injury claims team a call.

No Win No Fee personal injury solicitors for Barrow-in-Furness

Those seeking personal injury solicitors for a Barrow-in-Furness injury claim are welcome to contact our advisors for help. They can review your case and if it’s determined to be a strong one, then one of our No Win No Fee solicitors could guide you through the different elements of making a personal injury claim.

Our solicitors support claims under what’s called a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). Claiming under a CFA usually means the following:

• Your solicitor will not charge you an upfront fee for their services or expect you to pay anything while the personal injury claim is ongoing.
• If your claim is successful, they take a small percentage of your compensation to cover their success fee. The percentage your solicitor can take is legally capped to ensure you get to keep most of your compensation.
• If your claim fails, you normally won’t need to pay your solicitor for their work.

Contact our advisors today to learn more about working with No Win No Fee solicitors and the Barrow-in-Furness injury claim process. To get in touch, you can:

• Call 0800 073 8804

Welcome to our Waltham Forest personal injury solicitors guide. If you have been injured in an accident that was not your fault in Waltham Forest, you may be entitled to compensation. To make a claim, you need to work with a high-quality personal injury lawyer.

There are many personal injury law firms in London. However, you might struggle to find a higher quality Legal Expert. Read on to discover more about our service, the claims process, and what a personal injury solicitor does.

If you still have any queries by the time you finish reading this guide, please do not hesitate to get in touch – 0800 073 8804. But, first, read on to find out more about how you don’t necessarily need personal injury solicitors in Waltham Forest to handle your claim, as well as more about claims in the area.

What do personal injury solicitors do?

A personal injury claim involves making a case for a payout because you have been injured in an incident that was not your fault. Solicitors, fully trained in this aspect of the law, exist to help you. They collate evidence and present a case to maximise any settlement to you.

How our specialist team can help you to make a compensation claim

You may be wondering why you need a personal injury solicitor. However, the truth is that personal injury law is very complex, and therefore, making a case without the help of a solicitor is a huge risk. It is highly unlikely you will be able to secure compensation on your own. If you do, you could struggle to get the full amount because you have not been trained in personal injury law, and the solicitor on the other side of the case could capitalise on this. It is not worth the risk because you will likely not get another chance to make a claim. So please speak to the Waltham Forest personal injury solicitors about how to claim today.

Your right to make a personal injury claim

To determine whether you should make an accident claim, you do not need to worry about the type of incident you have been involved in. Rather, you need to be able to prove three things to be true, and these are as follows…

• Someone else is responsible for the incident. You need to show that your suffering is the result of someone else’s error or negligence. You certainly cannot be totally at fault for what happened if you want to make an accident claim.
• The incident happened within the past three years. This is the time limit on most personal injury cases. You have three years from the date of the accident, and court proceedings must be issued within this time frame. If your injury cannot be pinpointed to a specific date, such as vibration white finger, you will have three years from the date of diagnosis.
• You have seen a doctor for your injuries – You must see a medical professional if you want to have any chance of making a successful accident claim. The medical report is one of the most crucial pieces of evidence.

Five criteria for making sure you have the right solicitor for your claim

One of the most crucial things you need to do is make sure you have a top-quality personal injury solicitor on your side that will give you the best chance of winning your case. Still, they do not necessarily have to be Waltham Forest personal injury solicitors. Keep that in mind, take a look at some of the qualities you should look out for…

1. Experience

There is only one place to begin, and this is with experience. The last thing you want is for your accident claim to be someone else’s practice project. You want to feel confident that they have handled many personal injury cases before. You should also look for a solicitor with experience in your particular area of personal injury, i.e. workplace accidents or road traffic accidents.

2. Good Reputation

In addition to this, it is always a good idea to read the reviews that previous customers have left. What have they got to say about the service they received? Were they satisfied? Did they win their case? Was the solicitor good to work with? This is the best way to get an honest assessment regarding the level of quality you are likely to benefit from. You will also be alerted to any potential red flags.

3. No Win No Fee

It is always advisable to go for a solicitor that works on a No Win, No Fee basis. There are several benefits to be gained by going down this route. Financial risk will be minimised substantially, and you will not require any cash to start your accident claim. In addition to this, you can be certain the solicitor will only take on your case if they believe you have a good chance of getting compensation. They won’t waste your time.

4. Great Track Record

The fourth quality you need to look for is a solicitor that has a great track record. They should have worked on cases similar to yours, and they should have done so successfully, securing the maximum amount of compensation possible.

5. Good Communication

Finally, good communication is extremely important. Suffering an injury can be stressful enough without you having to chase your solicitor for information. You should constantly feel in the know, and your solicitor should explain everything to you in a manner that is easy to understand.

Should I judge solicitors by their reviews?

When it comes to finding the best Waltham Forest personal injury solicitors for your case, reading personal injury solicitor reviews can certainly help. However, the most telling element will be when you have a conversation with your solicitor for the first time. You will know for sure whether this is someone you feel comfortable working with or not.

Should I use a local solicitor?

A lot of people assume that they can only use Forest personal injury solicitors to secure compensation. This is not the case. You can work with anyone based in the UK, ensuring you benefit from the best quality. Here are some of the local medical experts in Waltham Forest, which you could be visiting for the medical part of your claim.

What types of injury or accident do we see more often?

A considerable number of people in the UK would have been entitled to personal injury compensation yet never made a claim. One of the main reasons why this is the case is because they did not realise that they had the basis of an accident claim, to begin with. Personal injury is a term that constitutes a whole host of different injuries and incidents, and this can often confuse people. So, keep on reading to discover more about some of the most common causes. If you don’t find your injury below, don’t worry – you can still claim!

Industrial disease cases

You can also claim if you have been injured in a case of an industrial disease. Cases range from industrial deafness to asbestos-related claims. In these cases, you can often find yourself claiming against ex-employers you worked for many years ago. We have lots of experience with these cases.

Clinical negligence cases

We can also advise you on making a medical negligence claim if you have been injured because of a mistake made by a health professional or due to low standards within the health clinic in question. Cases range from misdiagnosis incidents to those whereby errors have been made in surgery. The Waltham Forest personal injury solicitors that we work with can advise on claiming online for clinical negligence.

Slip, trip, and fall cases

Next, we have slips, trips and falls – the most common type of claims. These injuries can happen in many different ways, from tripping over a broken pavement to falling because of a pothole in a car park, hurting yourself because of poor signage during work on pavements, and slipping on an unmarked wet floor. You will need to prove that the accident occurred because of someone else’s error or negligence.

Serious injury cases

We can also help you claim if you have suffered a serious injury. We have helped many people to secure compensation for serious head injuries. If someone you love has suffered a serious injury, you can claim on their behalf. We can also provide advice on personal injury claims if you want to claim someone you love has been involved in a fatal accident.

Can I make an accident at work claim?

Many different situations can lead people to claim against their employer. You could have been injured because your employer did not carry out the required risk assessments, because of a fall from a height, because of machinery issues, due to a lack of training, and because of a wealth of other reasons. When it comes to determining whether or not you can make a personal injury claim, you need to be able to prove that your employer is at fault for what happened. To do this, you must show that they have broken one of the rules or health and safety regulations in place.

There are rules and regulations for all industries and all working environments. For example, you have the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER), which are in place for employers with businesses that use machinery and equipment. These regulations state the following…

• Adequate warning and safety marks must be placed on all equipment
• Equipment can only be operated by individuals with the right level of knowledge
• All equipment and machines need to be inspected properly
• Equipment must be in a safe condition and maintained well
• All equipment and machines have to be utilised safely
• The machine must be suitable for the intended use

If your employer has made one of the mistakes mentioned above, you can make an accident at work claim. Please contact our personal injury solicitors for Waltham Forest for more information if you’re unsure if your employer is to blame.

Can I make a road traffic accident claim?

Sadly, road traffic accidents happen daily. If you have been the victim of a road traffic injury – no matter whether you were a passenger in a car, riding your bicycle, or indeed driving a vehicle – you will be entitled to compensation for injuries like whiplash, so long as the accident was not your fault.

No Win No Fee Accident Solicitors Who Cover Waltham Forest

A No Win No Fee solicitor works to an agreement known as a conditional fee. This means that you only pay legal fees if your case is successful. If not, you don’t pay. If compensation is secured, you will pay a percentage of this to the solicitor. The percentage will have been agreed on beforehand with the Waltham Forest personal injury solicitors.

You don’t need any money to begin your injury claim – One of the major hurdles that stop people from making an accident claim is that they don’t have enough money to begin the process. Consultation fees alone can be extortionate. However, you need not worry about this with a No Win No Fee solicitor, as you don’t need any money to make a claim.

Financial risk is minimised – If you opt for a professional that bills you on an hourly scale, there is always the worry that you will spend a huge sum of money only for your case to be unsuccessful. This is a risk a lot of people cannot afford to take. You don’t have to if you go for a No Win No Fee personal injury lawyer, as you pay relative to the case’s outcome.

No time wasting – A No Win No Fee solicitor is only going to take on your accident claim if they think you have a strong chance of getting compensation. They won’t waste your time. Therefore, you can be certain that you won’t find yourself in a position whereby a solicitor merely takes on your case to take your money.

High-quality service – Finally, you can be sure of a high-quality service, as the Waltham Forest personal injury solicitors will be impacted by the outcome of your case. Therefore, they will be doing all in their power to guarantee that your case is a success.

Waltham Forest Personal Injury Solicitors FAQs

What exactly is a personal injury claim?

This is a claim that an accident victim makes after suffering injuries when it wasn’t their fault.

And who is the defendant?

The defendant is the person or company you’re suing by claiming that they’re responsible for the accident.

How do you prove the defendant’s fault?

This is about producing evidence confirming a breach of the defendant’s duty of care towards you that caused an accident that left you injured.

What evidence do you need for this?

The best evidence would include any witness statements, CCTV footage, photographs and also the results of a new medical assessment.

Why is the medical evaluation so important?

This is where a medical professional can confirm your injuries and perhaps confirm the link between them and the accident.

But what if I already had a medical check-up at the time?

You should still be evaluated again if your condition changes and make the medical evidence more recent.

What is the chance of my case going to court?

Only around 5% of personal injury claims end up going before a judge.

And what are my odds of winning my case?

For medical negligence claims that have strong evidence of their foundation, your chances of success are around 50/50.
