Can I Make A Personal Injury Claim?
For anyone hurt through no fault of their own, a compensation claim could be the start of putting things right. There are many laws relating to compensation claims, and our panel of solicitors have the experience and knowledge to heighten the likelihood of a successful claim.
To make a successful Bolton personal injury claim, your lawyer will need to show that;
- The defendant – e.g. your employer – has a duty to care for you
- Secondly, they need to show that the defendant had breached the aforementioned duty of care
- And finally, they also need to show that as a consequence of this breach, you were injured or became ill.
It is also important to note that the sooner you start your claim for personal injury compensation, the better as the quality of evidence tends to be better.

What about the location of the solicitor? Is this important?
You are not restricted to employing a local personal injury solicitor: it is important to base your decision on fees, as well as their experience of dealing with claims similar to yours.
In most cases, the only appointment that needs to be carried out locally is a medical exam of your injuries. We have a national medical network into which we can tap to find a local medical expert.
What compensation claims do we handle?
We arrange and manage compensation cases across a large range of injuries in Bolton. Our team can assist with injuries and medical conditions including:
Industrial disease
Many claimants do not suffer from the symptoms of an industrial disease until many years after the initial ‘injury’. You have three years from the date of diagnosis within which to make a claim for compensation.
Medical negligence in Bolton
More accurately referred to as clinical negligence, we handle cases where people have been hurt as a result of a breach of care by a medical professional or professionals.
Legal Expert’s specialist panel of solicitors work with claimants in Bolton helping people to win the compensation to which they are entitled. They have won cases against hospitals, clinics, infirmaries, dental practices and more.
Accidents in the workplace
Legal Expert has also helped claimants, from bus drivers to warehouse workers, to office staff to make compensation claims for injuries suffered at work.
Employers have many statutory health and safety duties but there are times when these are breached or failed. The results can be catastrophic. For example, over half a million workers self-reported non-serious injuries at work during the period 2016/17 with a further 70,000 non-fatal injuries at work being reported by employers.
Fortunately, the incidences of non-fatal (and fatal) injuries are expected to continue to fall as health and safety regulations are improved. But still, if you have been hurt at work, you may have a claim for compensation.
Slip, trip and fall accidents
Reports and research show that by far, the biggest causes of injuries are as a result of slips, trips and falls. This is a common category of injuries at work too.
From tripping over uneven and poorly maintained pavements to slipping in a shopping centre, personal injury solicitors in Bolton deal with many cases of injuries as a result of trips and falls in public places.
Serious injury
At Legal Expert, we understand the difference a successful compensation claim can make for people who have suffered a life-changing, serious injury – and this is why we make it our goal to do everything we can to ensure that your claim is successful.
