Claiming With Personal Injury Solicitors For Gillingham

There are many ways in which to prove that you are eligible for compensation. Your chances of success are improved further by seeking a firm of solicitors with lots of experience in the field of personal injury claims. As long as you can identify who was at fault, and you make the claim within the 3-year personal injury claims time limit then you have a good chance of receiving a payout. There is however an exception to this.

If your illness or injury was caused by an event that happened several years previously, you may still be able to claim if your diagnosis was only recently received. You would then have three years from the date of your diagnosis rather than the date on which the event which caused your injury occurred.

Don’t miss out on compensation that is owed to you if you are suffering from a condition that is impacting upon your life. Although the prospect may seem daunting, Legal Expert are here to help, advise and support you through this difficult time.

Do I Qualify To Make A Personal Injury Claim?

In various scenarios within Gillingham and elsewhere, you are owed a legal duty of care. Examples include the following:

  • At work – Your employer owes you a duty of care under certain legislation including the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 (HASAWA). To uphold this duty, an employer should carry out all reasonable and practicable steps that are required to ensure the health, safety and welfare of their employees while they’re in the workplace and performing their duties.
  • In public areas – In public places, the individual or organisation that legally occupies that space must ensure you are reasonably safe. This duty of care is established by the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957.
  • Driving on the roads – When you use the roads, you and other road users must navigate them in a manner which prevents damage or harm to yourself or others. To fulfil this duty of care, road users should follow the regulations set out in the Road Traffic Act 1988 as well as the rules that are within the Highway Code.

Those seeking personal injury solicitors for Gillingham injury claims may be eligible to start a case if they can establish the following:

  • You were owed a duty of care by another party.
  • This party breached the duty of care.
  • You suffered injuries because of this breach.

Advice For Choosing The Right Legal Team For Your Claim

When you decide to explore the possibility of making a claim you will of course want to find the best personal injury lawyer. If your accident happened in Gillingham then you may automatically assume that Gillingham personal injury solicitors are the only ones you can use. This is not necessarily the case. Although every solicitor is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), all solicitors provide a different level of service.

You should be aware that a personal injury case can take a long time to resolve. In a complicated case, it can go on for months or years, meaning regular contact with the same solicitor. Therefore, we recommend that you find a solicitor that you feel matches your needs and you feel comfortable with.

No Win No Fee Personal Injury Solicitors For Gillingham

How do No Win No Fee solicitors work? No Win No Fee contracts are also known as conditional fee agreements. It is called this because the payment of a fee to your solicitor is dependent on the successful outcome of your case. If you win your case, a fee is payable to your solicitor and is usually taken directly from your final payout.

If you are unsuccessful, you are not eligible to pay a fee at all. The beauty of this type of compensation solicitor is that you do not experience any of the financial burdens that you may expect when employing a solicitor. There are no upfront costs that may otherwise act as a deterrent to a compensation claim.

When you are ready to launch your claim you can contact Legal Expert by calling 0800 073 8804. Alternatively, you can complete our contact form online and we will get back to you at a time that you tell us is convenient. You are also welcome to telephone us and talk through your options with a personal injury solicitor before making your final decision, we can also offer a callback service.
