Our personal injury solicitors will advise you as to your prospects of success should you be involved in an accident at work, home or during travel.
Do not decide against making a personal injury claim on the grounds of legal cost; we offer a first half hour free legal advice. This is because Public Funding (formerly known as Legal Aid) is no longer available for clients involved in road traffic accidents, "slipping & tripping" cases or accidents at work.
We will consider whether it is possible to have your case funded through Trade Union Legal Assistance or Legal Expenses Insurance before looking at privately funding your case.
Our Personal Injury Solicitors provide advice in a caring and sensitive manner regarding all types of personal injury.
Personal Injury Claim - Time Limits
You must be aware of statutory time limits, if you have any type of accident, you have 3 years to bring a claim. It is only in very exceptional circumstances that it may be possible to bring your claim outside the three year limit. Therefore, you must seek independent legal advice from personal injury claim solicitors as soon as the accident has occurred.
