Personal Injury Claims |
|
| A personal injury claim can be made if you have suffered a physical
injury, disease or psychological illness with either long term or short term effects due to the negligence
on someone else’s part. The term ‘personal injury’ is a general idiom covering a broad spectrum of accident,
injury and illness types that occurred under a variety of different circumstances. |
 |
| For example, you may have a personal injury claim if you were not provided
with the correct equipment to carry out a job and were injured as a consequence, or if you have fallen or tripped
over a defect paving stone which resulted in a personal injury or perhaps if you were involved in a road traffic
accident that was no fault of your own. |

General Advice regarding Personal Injury Claims |
|
| Your accident should be reported to the relevant authority where the incident
took right away. Employers may have an accident book held on their premises and this should be filled in without
delay and details of any witnesses to the accident should be taken. All this information will assist the personal
injury solicitor in compiling evidence to support your personal injury claim. |
|
| There are time limits to making a Personal Injury Claim and it is therefore
important that you start proceeding with your personal injury claim as soon as possible (see below). By acting swiftly
we will firstly be able to offer advice as to whether you have a Personal Injury Claim for compensation. Once
that has been established we can then start gathering the crucial evidence for the case and take witness statements
whilst the facts of the incidence are still fresh in everyone’s minds thus preserving evidence. You may be eligible
for interim payments which could assist in rehabilitation treatment thus hopefully easing more long term suffering.

Time Limits On Personal Injury Claims |
|
| For personal injury claims the general time limit for which it is possible to
make a personal injury claim is three years under the Limitation Act of 1980. This means that court proceedings must
be issued within three years of your first becoming aware that have suffered an personal injury that was caused by
someone else’s negligence. |
|
| However the time limits on personal injury claims are not as clear cut as
they first may appear, there are always exceptions to the case and this area of law can be extremely detailed and
complex hence it is essential that you seek the advice of a specialist personal injury solicitor who is experienced
with all facets of the Limitation Act. |
