Can I Make A Personal Injury Claim?
A personal injury claim is a legal action you can take if you’ve suffered an injury or illness that resulted from a third party breaching the duty of care they owed to you.
We’ve mentioned a few terms there that you may be unfamiliar with:
- Duty of care – this is the legal duty a third party has to you to ensure that you do not suffer, within reason, any avoidable form of harm. Examples of those who could owe a duty of care include your employer, the controller of a space open to the public (such as the local council), or those that use the roads.
- Breach of duty – there are certain steps that third parties must take to ensure they comply with their duty of care. If they fail to do so they could breach it and create the risk of someone suffering an injury or illness. An example of this would be an employer’s failure to provide adequate personal protective equipment, leaving you exposed to loud noise or harmful gases.
To successfully prove a personal injury compensation claim, you need to prove that you were owed both a duty of care and that the duty was breached. The final hurdle to overcome is proving that the accident caused the injury. This is known as causation.
Sometimes an accident may exacerbate a problem we already have, or it may accelerate a problem we were likely to develop down the line anyway. In such cases, it’s necessary to determine the impact of the accident.

Make A No Win No Fee Claim With Our Solicitors
You may have heard of a No Win No Fee agreement before, but do you know what it means?
In short, it’s a contract between you and your solicitor that’s built upon the condition that they do not get paid for the work they do in representing you unless they achieve a successful outcome.
This means:
- You don’t have to pay any fees upfront
- Nor do you pay any fees while the claim is ongoing
- And if the claim fails, there are no fees to pay
In a successful claim, you pay your solicitor just a small percentage of your compensation award. This covers their costs. The amount they can deduct is capped by law.

4.8 (466 reviews) Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Below, you can find answers to some common questions on personal injury compensation claims.
What Are The Time Limits For Bringing A Personal Injury Claim?
For most adults, you have three years from the accident. For children, the clock typically runs from their 18th birthday. If someone lacks mental capacity, time limits can be paused. Different rules apply to foreign accidents and criminal injury claims.
What Is The Official Injury Claim (OIC) Portal And When Should I Use It?
The OIC is a government-backed service for minor road traffic injury claims by drivers and passengers in England & Wales. It’s designed for self-service, but many people still prefer a solicitor—especially if liability is disputed, injuries are complex, or the claim includes non-tariff losses and rehabilitation.
What Is The Whiplash Tariff And Does It Limit My Compensation?
For certain soft-tissue (whiplash) and related psychological injuries after specific dates, general damages are set by a fixed tariff based on the length of symptoms. This tariff does not limit your special damages: you can still claim provable financial losses, treatment, and care on top.
How Do No Win No Fee (CFA) Agreements Actually Work?
With a Conditional Fee Agreement, you typically won’t pay your solicitor’s fees if the case is lost. If you win, a regulated success fee (often capped at up to 25% of certain damages) is taken from your compensation to cover your solicitor’s costs. To learn more about No Win No Fee, head here.
Can I Get An Interim Payment While My Claim Is Ongoing?
Yes, if the defendant admits liability and you have immediate needs (lost earnings, urgent rehab), your solicitor can request interim payments. These are payments on account that are deducted from the final award. Head here to learn more about interim payments.
What Evidence Do I Need To Prove My Claim?
Start with medical evidence (GP/A&E records and an independent medico-legal report obtained as part of the claim). Add scene photos/CCTV/dashcam, witness details, accident-book entries, and proof of financial loss (payslips, receipts, mileage, care logs). Good evidence tightens liability, causation, and valuation.
How Long Do Personal Injury Claims Take To Settle?
Simple, undisputed claims can resolve in months once medical evidence is clear. Complex injuries, contested liability, or large future-loss claims take longer and sometimes require court timetables. Early rehab, disclosure, and prompt medico-legal appointments help speed things up.
Is Personal Injury Compensation Taxable?
As a rule, personal injury damages for pain/suffering and direct financial losses are not subject to income tax.
Should I Accept The First Offer From The Insurer?
Not necessarily. Early offers may undervalue future symptoms or losses. It’s sensible to wait for a medical prognosis, quantify special damages, and compare to typical ranges before settling. Your solicitor will advise on timing and counter-offers.
