Your Questions

Here are some of the most commonly asked questions

We totally understand that making a claim for compensation is likely to be a step into the unknown for you. That’s why we have made the process as simple as we can. Firstly our advice team will take a few details about what happened to you and talk through your available options. If we think you have a case, we will offer to connect you with a solicitor from our panel of experts who is experienced with accident claims like yours. They will complete a detailed assessment of your case – free of charge – and let you know how they can help you. If your case is accepted and you want to go ahead, your solicitor will take care of the legal process from start to finish – keeping you informed throughout every stage.
That all depends on the details of your accident. It could be anything from a few hundred pounds to tens of thousands of pounds – or more. It’s impossible to say until we know more about what happened. So it’s always best to get in touch if you are curious about how much you may be entitled to. The number to dial is 0800 0511 511.
Our panel of expert solicitors work on a no win, no fee basis. That means if your claim is unsuccessful, you won’t pay a penny to anyone. Instead our solicitors only charge a fee if you are awarded compensation. This is typically around 25% of the total compensation sum you receive – and will always be agreed with you upfront. Whatever happens, you will never be left out of pocket.
You may be wondering where the money for your compensation comes from. It all depends on who was at fault for the accident that you were involved in. But with most accidents it’s unlikely that the money will come from an individual’s personal finances. Instead the compensation is usually covered by insurance companies.
Our solicitors work to settle claims before they go to court. Unless your case is incredibly complex, it’s unlikely a trip to court will necessary.
We understand that perhaps seeking compensation is something you have been putting off while you recover and come to terms with what happened. In most instances you will need to start your claim within three years of your accident – otherwise you may lose your legal right to compensation. But it’s best to act as soon as you can. That way the details are still fresh and your solicitor can put together a strong case. It can take as little as five minutes to find out if you are entitled to compensation after an accident. Give us a call on 0800 0511 511.
Sometimes the cause of an accidents is complicated. In fact it’s relatively it’s common for more than one party to be at fault. But even if you were partially at fault, you may still be able to claim. The best thing to do is to call us to tell us about what happened on 0800 0511 511.

No Win No Fee – this is an agreement that you make with your chosen solicitors.  Under this agreement if you don’t win your claim, there should be no cost to you. Customers typically pay a success fee out of the amount of compensation recovered to cover their legal costs. This may vary but will always be agreed with your solicitors upfront before you start your claim. Solicitors terms and conditions apply.
