How Legal Expert Can Help Claimants In Preston
The best way to go about getting the compensation that you could deserve after being hurt in an accident at work or any other situation is to use a expert accident solicitor to assist you.
Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, whether at work or engaging in leisure activities, the UK has a plethora of different pieces of legislation as well as guidelines on how your safety should be protected. From retailers, to your employer, to those running leisure facilities, or medical practitioners, all these groups have a duty of care to those on their property, those using their facilities, or patients being treated by them. Even when on the roads you are owned this duty of care by other road users, or anyone driving a vehicle you are a passenger in.
If you have been injured or become sick because someone was either deliberately or negligently breaching this duty of care, you could have grounds to be compensated. Compensation can take into account the injury itself, as well as its effects upon you.
To successfully make a personal injury claim, there are three basic elements which need to be proven:
- That the defendant (the person or organisation the claim is being made against) did legally owe you a duty of care. This could be demonstrated under a piece of legislation.
- That there was a breach in this duty of care. This could be a failure to observe legal requirements or not taking the right precautions.
- That your illness or injury was a result of the actions above.
If the actions of another person (or organisation) has caused you to suffer an injury or illness please contact our accident solicitors today to discuss your claim.
Why It Is Important To Have The Right Personal Injury Solicitor
Whether you are searching for personal injury solicitors for an accident, injury, or illness, the most important factor is not where they are based, but that they are the right person for the job. The importance of getting the right solicitor is next to that of making sure your injury or illness is appropriately treated. Our solicitors will be able to provide you with all the information you will need to make a fully informed decision. We could even provide you with an medical examination and assessment in your local area thanks to our panel of medical experts. We currently have several doctors or medical practices we refer clients to in this area.
It is worth noting that personal injury claims will usually take a few months from enquiry to completion. However, in some rare or very complicated cases that process can take several years, even up to the personal injury claims time limit. As you will have a long-term relationship with your legal team, you need to know that they are trustworthy and be able to feel confident that you can pass on information such as your medical records.
Do I Have To Use Personal Injury Solicitors In Preston?
People often think that they should use accident solicitors or lawyers based in their local area. This idea is still rooted in the past when people needed to use a solicitor who was close to them in orer to have face-to-face meetings and easily communicate with them. However, today most personal injury claims can be conducted by easy and efficient correspondence with no need to meet in person. You can be kept up to date easily by various communication methods and are much freer to find a solicitor who is right for your claim, not just close to you.
If you need a medical examination as part of your claim, this can be organised through the medical experts we work with in this area, such as;

Can Personal Injury Solicitors For Preston Help Me On A No Win No Fee Basis?
Our personal injury solicitors for Preston based accidents can help you make your claim. They have years of dedicated experience and can handle all types of personal injury cases.
If your case is a strong one and accepted you will likely be offered a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). This is a type of No Win No Fee agreement. A CFA carries with it the following benefits:
- As your case begins, you do not need to pay upfront for the solicitor’s fees.
- Whilst the case is ongoing, you will not be asked to pay ongoing solicitor fees.
- In the event that your claim is unsuccessful, then you do not have to pay your solicitor’s fees.
At the end of a successful case, there is a success fee due to the solicitor. This is a percentage of the compensation that has been awarded and is deducted at the end of the case. The size of the percentage has a legal limit. This means you keep the bulk of your award or settlement. There is no success fee to pay if you do not win.
To see if you can work with our No Win No Fee solicitors for Preston based accidents or injuries, you can reach out to our friendly team. They will give you a fast and free case assessment.
