Would I be entitled to compensation?

How much compensation could I receive?

Every personal injury claim is different, the amount of compensation awarded depends upon a number of factors. In addition to compensation for personal injury, a claim can also be made for financial losses, for example loss of earnings and expenses that you have incurred or may incur in the future.

Every claim is individual and further advice will be available once we have had a chance to consider your claim.

Why don't I have to pay any costs?

Your solicitor will fund your claim and protect you from having to pay your legal costs. You will not be asked to take out a loan or credit agreement - there really is no catch. Your solicitor will fund your claim and his costs will be covered by insurance, this will be explained to you fully before you proceed with your claim.
