Personal Injury Claims in the UK – Know Your Rights

What Is a Personal Injury Claim Under UK Law?

A personal injury claim allows an injured person to seek compensation where their injury was caused by another party’s negligence, breach of duty.
These claims are governed primarily by the Limitation Act 1980 and relevant case law in England and Wales. You may be eligible to pursue a personal injury claim if your injury occurred as a result of:

• Road traffic accidents (including whiplash claims)
• Workplace accidents
• Slips, trips, and falls in public places • Accidents in shops, restaurants, or other premises
• Medical or clinical negligence cases Even if you were partly at fault, you may still be able to claim compensation under the principle of contributory negligence.

What Compensation Can You Claim?

Personal injury compensation in the UK is usually divided into two categories:
General Damages
Compensation for pain, suffering, and loss of amenity caused by your injury.
Special Damages Compensation for financial losses, including:
• Loss of earnings (past and future)
• Medical and rehabilitation expenses
• Travel costs related to treatment
• Care and assistance costs
• Damage to personal property
The value of your claim will depend on the severity of your injuries and how they have affected your life.

Why Choose Us for Your Personal Injury Claim?

No Win No Fee Personal Injury Claims

Most UK personal injury claims are handled under a No Win No Fee agreement (Conditional Fee Agreement). This means:

  • No upfront legal costs
  • No legal fees to pay if your claim is unsuccessful
  • A success fee is payable only if your claim is successful.

This means you can pursue justice without worrying about financial risk.

What is Public Liability?

Public liability refers to the legal responsibility of a business or individual to compensate members of the public who suffer injury, illness, or property damage due to their actions or negligence. In simple terms, if someone is injured or their property is damaged because a business failed to keep a public area safe, a public liability claim may arise.

Legal Time Limits for Personal Injury Claims in the UK

  • Under the Limitation Act 1980, most personal injury claims must be started within three years of:

    • The date of the accident, or
    • The date you became aware that your injury was linked to the accident (the “date of knowledge”)

    Exceptions to the Time Limit

    • Children: The three-year limitation period begins on their 18th birthday.
    • Lack of mental capacity: The standard time limits may not apply.

    Missing the deadline can prevent you from making a claim, so early legal advice is essential.
