What Is A Personal Injury Claim?
A personal injury claim, in very basic terms, is when a person is injured through no fault of their own, but due to the negligence of another all-be-it still an accident but an avoidable accident at that and wishes to claim damages in terms of compensation for their pain and suffering and any expenses caused. The victim of personal injury may use a solicitor to do so.
The solicitor will aim to prove how the injury was caused by the defendant or their staff and the severity and impact of your injuries to justify the amount of compensation they are asking for.

Finding The Right Solicitor
So, you’re considering lodging a claim but not sure how to choose the right solicitor to take on your case. Should you pick the first that you find online, use one that’s been recommended or use one that you’ve used for other legal services like a house purchase? We recommend that you use the following tips to help choose the best personal injury solicitor for your particular case:
- Always use a solicitor that offers a No Win No Fee service. It’ll reduce the amount of stress while the case moves forward and ensure you’re not left with a massive legal bill at the end of the case if it is unsuccessful.
- Select a solicitor specialising in accident compensation rather than a family, conveyancing or criminal solicitor.
- Look for an experienced solicitor rather than a new firm that has just set up to jump on the compensation bandwagon.
- The next section covers this in more detail but always look at reviews of any solicitor you’re considering using.

Do I Need To Work With Personal Injury Solicitors In Middleton?
We’re often asked if we can help clients in an area where we’re not located, and the answer is ‘Yes’. Solicitors that make personal injury claims in Middleton do not need to be situated in the area. It does not matter as solicitors deal mainly over email and telephone (and sometimes by the postal service) when you think of it logically.
Type Of Claims Our Personal Injury Solicitors For Middleton Could Help With
It is important to remember that here at Legal Expert, we will consider any personal injury claim so long as somebody else is to blame. The following sections, however, show some of the more popular claims we deal with:
Slip, Trip Or Fall Claims In Public
Often, a trip, slip or fall injury may seem like a minor incident but can have very serious consequences. What starts as a minor fall (which can happen just about anywhere) can lead to an injury that requires multiple trips to a physician and can result in the injured party never fully regaining the full use of an injured limb.
As an example, a slip or trip type accident can be somebody else’s fault if:
- A trip hazard was obscured by something else or poor lighting.
- A floor was overly slippery, but no warning signs were used to warn you.
- A floor, path, stairway or kerb was damaged and caused you to trip.
If you’re unsure if your slip was the responsibility of somebody else, then please ask one of our specialist advisors, who’ll be able to assess what caused your accident.
Serious Injury Claims
In any category of personal injury claim, some claims can be deemed serious and result in a higher amount of compensation. If an injury has a serious or devastating effect on the claimant’s life (or next of kin or loved one), it can be said to be serious.
The claim may be more complex to make, but Legal Expert can lodge serious injury claims and still offer a No Win No Fee service to do so.
Accident At Work Claims
Some clients are worried about claiming a personal injury sustained at work because they’re worried about what their employer may do. Still, there is no need as legislation exists. Through the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and other acts of parliament, an employer can not discipline the employee for making a claim.
Every employer in the UK has certain responsibilities under the acts to protect staff and ensure their safety while at work by undergoing risk assessments, providing training, writing safety policies and providing safety equipment where needed.
Suppose your employer has failed to meet their obligations and you’ve been injured because of this. In that case, you could make a claim against them for compensation that covers the pain and suffering caused and any financial losses incurred. The Middleton personal injury solicitors can advise on this further.
Road Traffic Accident Claims
Road traffic accidents in the Middleton area as a passenger, pedestrian or driver can be claimed if the other driver was to blame for the suffering of whiplash. Even in instances where the other driver didn’t stop (hit and run), was uninsured or committed a crime (drink driving, dangerous driving or careless driving), it can be claimed for by Legal Expert. Hence, please get in touch with us to explain how you became injured.
No Win No Fee Personal Injury Solicitors For Middleton
If you have been injured in an accident that was not your fault, you may be eligible to claim compensation. Our personal injury solicitors for Middleton understand that this may be a lot for you to take on. However, they are here to support you and may help you claim compensation by:
- Walking you through the claims process
- Explaining key legal terms and documents
- Helping you obtain evidence that supports your claim and using this to build your case
- Explaining compensation awards
- Negotiating settlements with third parties on your behalf
What Do I Need To Pay And When?
We understand that you may be worried about the cost of legal representation. However, our solicitors work on a No Win No Fee basis. Therefore, you may sign a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA) with them. Under this agreement, you will pay no out-of-pocket expenses for their work on your claim prior to the claim starting or if it ends unnecessarily.
You will have to pay a success fee if your claim is successful. However, if you sign a CFA, a minimal legally capped percentage will be taken from your compensation to cover this cost.
