What's the difference between a personal injury 

lawyer and other types of lawyer?

Lawyers typically choose a particular field to work in - for instance family, criminal or tax law. A personal injury lawyer is a compensation claims specialist who represents people hurt in accidents caused by someone else's negligence. They'll handle your claim and seek compensation from the party you think is to blame.

The cause could be anything. Perhaps a road traffic accident, a trip, slip or fall in a public place, or a workplace injury. If the claim succeeds, your injury lawyer will make sure you receive the compensation you deserve. They'll also make sure you get any rehabilitation or counselling you may need.

Should I talk to a personal injury solicitor?

If you've been hurt in an accident which wasn't your fault within the last three years, then yes, it's worth a chat with one of our injury lawyers. You may qualify for a personal injury claim and compensation.

There are some exceptions. For example, parents or guardians can make a claim for a child any time after an accident up until their 18th birthday. In serious cases where head trauma has affected mental capacity temporarily, indefinitely or permanently, these limits may be longer.

The best way to find out whether you qualify for a claim is to contact us and talk things through on 0800 456 1053. It won't cost you anything to find out if we think you have a claim. With 30 years experience making it right for people when things are wrong, our personal injury solicitors can give you the advice you need that could make all the difference.
