  • Lift/escalator accidents (sudden stops or drops)

Can you claim compensation for a Personal Injury?

You can make an injury claim if the accident was not your fault.

Many people who get in touch with us are unsure whether they can make a compensation claim. This is completely understandable – claiming compensation can seem complicated and sometimes it’s not always clear who’s at fault for your accident.

Any injury you suffer that was caused by the neglect of another person, or company (for example if you are injured at work) permits you to make a claim against them for a sum of money that covers your injuries, financial losses and any expenses or losses that you may need in the future because of what happened to you.

Our friendly team will be able to advise you whether you can make a claim that has a good chance of being successful.

You normally have three years from the date of your accident to make a claim for personal injury compensation, however sometimes the three year period runs from the date you became aware that your injuries were due to someone’s negligence. Our team will be able to advise whether you are eligible to make a claim based on the specific details of your accident and injury.

NJS Law are here to help you to make a personal injury claim and get you the compensation you deserve.
