    How long do you have to make a personal injury claim?2022-08-24T15:31:56+01:00

    Generally speaking, if you’ve been injured in an accident or as a result of someone’s negligence, you can make a claim within 3 years from the date it occurred, or within 3 years of your date of knowledge; this is known as the ‘limitation period’. There are exceptions to this rule and sometimes shorter or longer limitation periods apply, so it is important that you speak to a personal injury lawyer without delay to ensure that you do not miss the limitation period.

    Should I file a Personal Injury Claim?2022-08-24T15:26:09+01:00

    If you’re unsure whether you should be seeking compensation as a result of an accident that wasn’t your fault or as a result of someone’s negligence, you should seek legal advice as soon as possible; particularly if you have suffered physical and/or psychological injuries as a result. 

    Can you make a Claim for the Mental/Psychological Impact of an accident?2020-07-15T11:59:35+01:00

    When claiming for compensation as a result of an accident that wasn’t your fault or as a result of someone’s negligence, as much emphasis is placed upon the psychological and mental effects as any physical injuries that you have suffered. These psychological symptoms can often include sleep deprivation, anxiety, depression, and change of personality. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you should always notify your lawyer.
