How do I start a personal injury claim in Leeds and what should I do first?

A LegalEase Team Answered by

If you have been injured in Leeds, seek medical attention first and keep records of treatment, expenses, lost earnings and how the accident happened. Take photographs, obtain witness details and report the incident to the relevant organisation, such as an employer, business or insurer. A solicitor can assess whether another party may be legally responsible, explain the usual time limit (often three years for many adult claims) and discuss funding options such as a conditional fee agreement. Consider contacting a personal injury solicitor regulated by the SRA, as the time limit and procedure can vary depending on your circumstances.
