Common questions

Personal Injury: common questions

Useful answers before you choose a solicitor.

How much compensation will I get?

It depends entirely on the injury and its consequences. Awards combine general damages for pain, suffering and loss of amenity with special damages for financial losses such as lost earnings, treatment and travel. A solicitor values your claim from medical evidence once your prognosis is known, not before.

How does no win no fee work?

Under a conditional fee agreement your solicitor takes a percentage of the compensation if you win and nothing if you lose. Success fees are capped by law for most claim types, and insurance covers the other side's costs if the claim fails. Your solicitor must explain the deductions in writing before you sign.

How long does a personal injury claim take?

Straightforward injury claims often settle within six to twelve months, but claims involving serious injury, disputed liability or uncertain medical prognosis take longer, sometimes several years. Settling too early is the most common mistake, because once you settle you cannot reopen the claim if your condition worsens.

What should I do immediately after an accident?

Report it to the responsible party and get it recorded in writing, take photographs, collect witness details and keep every receipt related to the injury. See your GP or hospital so the injury is on your medical record, and take legal advice before discussing fault with any insurer.
