Common Questions About Personal Injury Claims

Starting a personal injury claim can feel daunting, and you’re likely to have questions about how the process works, what it costs, and how long it takes. To help, we’ve answered the most common questions our clients ask — from evidence to compensation amounts and court proceedings.

What Are the Time Limits for a Personal Injury Claim?

In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident — or from when you first realised your injury was linked to negligence — to start a personal injury claim.

There are exceptions:

  • If you were under 18, the three-year limit starts from your 18th birthday.
  • If you lack mental capacity, there may be no time limit until capacity is regained.
  • In some clinical negligence cases, the clock starts from the date you became aware of the injury.

Because deadlines vary, it’s essential to seek legal advice as soon as possible so your claim isn’t time-barred.

Is a Personal Injury Claim Really No Win, No Fee?

Yes. With a No Win, No Fee agreement (Conditional Fee Agreement), you won’t pay any legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful.

We’ll explain all costs clearly before your case begins, so you have complete peace of mind.

What If Liability Is Disputed in a Personal Injury Claim?

If liability is disputed, we gather strong evidence such as CCTV footage, witness statements, and expert reports to prove your case.

Most disputed claims are still resolved through negotiation without the need for court. If your case does go further, our experienced solicitors will represent you throughout the process and fight to secure the compensation you deserve.

Can I Claim for Psychological Injury in a Personal Injury Claim?

Yes. If you’ve been diagnosed with a recognised psychological condition such as PTSD, anxiety, or depression, you may be entitled to claim compensation.

Psychological injuries can be claimed on their own or alongside physical injuries. We work with medical and psychiatric experts to gather evidence and ensure your suffering — including the cost of therapy, treatment, or long-term support — is fully recognised in your claim.

How Much Compensation Can I Get for a Personal Injury Claim?

The amount depends on your injury, recovery time, lost earnings, and any ongoing care needs. Compensation is split into “general damages” (for pain and suffering) and “special damages” (for financial losses). We’ll calculate both to maximise your claim.

How Long Will My Personal Injury Claim Take?

Simple claims may settle in a few months, while more complex cases — such as those involving serious injuries or disputed liability — can take longer. We’ll keep you updated throughout and push to resolve your claim as quickly as possible.

Do I Have to Go to Court for a Personal Injury Claim?

No. Most personal injury claims are settled through negotiation without going to court. If your case does need a hearing, our solicitors will represent you and guide you through every step.

Can I Make a Personal Injury Claim on Behalf of Someone Else?

Yes. If the injured person is under 18, lacks mental capacity, or has passed away, you may be able to claim on their behalf as a “litigation friend” or representative. Our solicitors can guide you through the process.

What Evidence do I Need for a Personal Injury Claim?

Strong evidence makes your case more likely to succeed. Useful evidence includes medical records, accident reports, photographs, CCTV, witness statements, and receipts for financial losses. We’ll help you gather everything needed to support your claim.
