You may be eligible to make a personal injury claim if you were physically or psychologically harmed because another person or organisation may have been legally responsible, such as after a road accident, workplace incident or public place accident. You will usually need evidence of what happened, your injury and the losses or costs you suffered, and time limits apply depending on the type of claim. Responsibility or compensation may be reduced where you partly contributed to the accident, and different rules can apply to children or people who lack mental capacity. A solicitor regulated by the SRA can assess your circumstances and explain whether a claim may be appropriate.
