What Is A Personal Injury Claim?
A personal injury claim is when someone claims compensation for suffering negligence. Negligence occurs when a breach of duty of care leads to an injury being sustained.
There may be multiple settings where you are owed a duty of care. This includes when you are:
- At work – employers owe their employees a duty of care under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. To adhere to their duty of care, employers must take reasonable steps to ensure the safety of their employees while they are working.
- In public spaces – people in charge of a public space (occupiers) owe a duty of care to all lawful public visitors of their space under the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957. To adhere to their duty of care, occupiers must take steps to ensure the reasonable safety of those visiting their premises.
- On the roads – all road users owe one another a duty of care. To adhere to their duty of care, road users must follow the regulations in The Highway Code and the Road Traffic Act 1988 to ensure that everyone is safe while on the roads.
As such, in order to begin a claim and be connected with one of our personal injury solicitors for Sutton In Ashfield, the following criteria must be met:
- You were owed a duty of care by an employer, occupier, or road user.
- They breached their duty of care.

Choosing Personal Injury Solicitors For Sutton In Ashfield Accidents
It’s a common misconception to think that if you live in Sutton-In-Ashfield, you have to use a solicitor based in Sutton-In-Ashfield, to help you claim compensation for your injuries. Although choosing a solicitor based in a location near you means that it is easier to visit them in person, the most important factor you should consider when finding the right solicitor is their skills and experience. Finding a solicitor with the right expertise will mean that they will be confident when handling a claim like yours. Some clients worry that if they are not assigned a local personal injury solicitor, communication may suffer.
However, in this day and age, it is common for personal injury solicitors for Sutton In Ashfield to mostly communicate with their clients via the post, through emails, or the telephone, so you are unlikely to miss out. The personal injury claim settlement process involves seeing a physician for a medical assessment, which your solicitor will base your claim on. If you are assigned a personal injury lawyer based elsewhere, don’t worry, Legal Expert will arrange for you to have your medical assessment done by a local physician at a time convenient to you.
