Crawley Personal Injury Solicitors – No Win No Fee

By Stephen Hudson. Last Updated 28th October 2024. Whether you’re crossing the road in Crawley, attending an appointment at an office, at work or on the roads yourself as a driver, every activity we do carries an element of risk. What can make this risk larger, however, is if people don’t take the responsibilities they should do to keep others safe.

Whether you choose to ring us on 0800 073 8804 or read the guidance below, we are here to help you understand how, when and why you might want to make a No Win No Fee claim with an accident specialist covering the Crawley area.

How One Of Our Personal Injury Solicitors For Crawley Can Help

Legislation is usually put in place to help and protect people, and the personal injury legislation is there to help victims of accidents that they did not cause themselves. It is important to remember though, that there are limitations to this legislation so it would be wise to seek the services of Crawley personal injury solicitors or solicitors that can conduct claims from outside the area as soon as possible after your accident, as three years is the usual limit for accidents causing injuries.

As with many facets of the law though, there are exceptions, and if you’re claiming as an adult for an accident you had when a child, or when an illness has developed over time, such as industrial disease, or where diagnosis was years after the event, there are different rules, which one of our friendly and experienced personnel would be happy to go over with you. Obviously the earlier you start your claim, the easier it will be for evidence to be gathered.

Am I Eligible To Make A Personal Injury Claim?

In Crawley and other parts of the country, there are numerous scenarios where you are owed a duty of care by certain parties. Examples include:

• In public areas – In public areas, the individual or organisation that legally occupies the space must take steps to make sure you are reasonably safe. This is a duty of care established by the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957.
• While using the roads – Those who use the roads owe a duty of care to each other to use them in a manner which prevents causing harm to yourself and others. Under this duty, road users should follow the rules established in the Road Traffic Act 1988 plus the rules in the Highway Code.
• At work – Employers owes a duty of care to their employees under certain legislation including the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 (HASAWA). Each employer should carry out all reasonable and practicable steps needed to ensure the health, safety and welfare of employees while they’re in the workplace and carrying out their duties.

Those searching for personal injury solicitors for Crawley injury claims may be eligible to begin a case if they are able to establish the following:

• Another party owed you a duty of care.
• This same party breached their duty of care.
• This breach directly caused you to be injured.
