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 injuries, illness, or in the case of medical negligence the worsening of a medical condition.
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

- We recommend choosing a specialist personal injury law firm for your claim.
- Ensure your lawyer is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).
- Do your research. Some personal injury law firms helping claimants in London specialise in particular types of claims, such as road traffic accident claims, medical negligence claims or accident at work claims.

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.

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.
