What should a beginner know before starting a personal injury claim in the UK?

A LegalEase Team Answered by

A personal injury claim usually requires evidence that another person or organisation was legally responsible and that you suffered injury or loss as a result. Keep medical records, accident details, photographs, witness information and receipts, and be aware that many claims have a three-year time limit, although exceptions can apply. A solicitor may offer a no-win, no-fee arrangement, but check the terms carefully, including any deductions and insurance costs. For advice about your circumstances, consider speaking to a solicitor regulated by the SRA, as the outcome depends on the evidence and individual facts.
