Personal Injury Assessment
If you have been injured due to another party's negligence, you may have a legal route to claim compensation for injuries, lost income, and rehabilitation costs.
Check Your EligibilityEstablishing a duty of care.
A personal injury claim is built upon the legal concept of negligence. For a claim to be viable, it must be shown that the responsible party (such as an employer, local authority, or another road user) owed you a duty of care, failed to uphold that duty, and that this failure directly caused your injuries.
In the UK, strict regulations govern safety in workplaces (the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974), public areas, and roads. When these regulations are breached and result in injury, the law provides a pathway for the injured person to seek redress and recover expenses incurred as a direct consequence of the incident.
Common accident scenarios.
We process qualification enquiries across a wide range of accident classifications.
Workplace Accidents
Injuries caused by lack of training, faulty equipment, inadequate safety gear, or general employer negligence in offices, warehouses, or construction sites.
Road Traffic Collisions
Collisions involving cars, motorbikes, bicycles, or pedestrians where another road user was negligent or breached the Highway Code.
Slips, Trips & Falls
Accidents in public spaces, supermarkets, or private business premises caused by wet floors, uneven surfaces, loose cables, or neglected walkways.
Industrial & Construction Sites
Serious injuries resulting from scaffolding collapses, falling objects, heavy machinery failures, or safety oversight on construction projects.

Other Negligent Incidents
Injuries occurring under unique circumstances where another party had a legal duty of care and failed to uphold it.
Supporting your eligibility.
To establish eligibility, a claims professional will need to review specific items of evidence related to the incident. Collecting these early can significantly accelerate the assessment.
Accident Reports
Log entries in a workplace accident book, police reference numbers for road traffic collisions, or incident logs with store managers.
Medical Assessment
Records from GP visits, A&E admissions, ambulance call-outs, or ongoing rehabilitation assessments that formally document your physical injuries.
Witness Details & Media
Contact information for third-party witnesses, photographic/video documentation of the accident scene, and local CCTV footage if available.

Personal Injury FAQs
What is the time limit for making a claim?
In the UK, the standard limitation period is three years from the date of the accident or three years from the date you became aware of the injury. For children, the three-year limit begins on their 18th birthday.
Will making a claim affect my employment?
By law, employers cannot dismiss or treat you unfairly simply because you make a personal injury claim following an accident at work. Employers are required to carry out Employers' Liability Insurance to cover such events.
