Employers have a legal duty to protect their workers' safety. Claims often arise from the work area being slippery or otherwise dangerous, or because of a lack of proper safety equipment.

This covers injuries sustained in public places which are caused by tripping on a pothole or uneven paving slabs, or slipping on wet or defective surfaces, for example.

Compensation is fully justified if you’ve been injured in a car crash. Your insurance company will not pursue this for you nearly as effectively as a solicitor who specialises in such claims.

We deal with more and more cycling related compensation claims every year and always ensure your case solicitor is one who understands the realities faced by cyclists on the road.

Whiplash is caused when your head is thrown backwards and forwards, normally as a result of a collision. It's one of the most common claims we deal with.

This is a very specialised area of personal injury law. You should use expert solicitors who understand all of the liability arguments which will be used to prevent your claim from being successful.

This applies to anybody who has suffered an injury on the road through the fault of a third party, either as a driver or passenger, a pedestrian, cyclist or motorcyclist.

If you've been injured following any other kind of accident in a public place, or by faulty or dangerous products, you may well be entitled to make a claim for compensation.

At the very least, claiming compensation can recover lost income and costs you have incurred as a result of your injury or illness. However, as well as winning a financial settlement, claiming can help you in other ways and there are many good reasons to make a claim.

• A successful claim can help pay for private medical treatment and rehabilitation therapies to maximise the extent of the recovery you can make.
• Settlements can help you recover any lost income now and in the future if you are prevented from working again.
• You may also be able to claim any projected costs for post accident care and finance to cover expensive alterations to property and vehicles.
• If an accident or illness proves fatal, loved ones can claim compensation for their loss.
• Making a compensation claim is a legal right, and if you succeed, it fairly compensates you for the injuries or illnesses you've sustained that were not your fault.

As all claims are made on a no win no fee basis, you will never be charged if your claim does not succeed.

We remain involved throughout the entire process of the claim and are here to help you should you need it. We start with you telling us the details of your accident so we can find the best way to help you. This enables us to evaluate your claim and to see if the circumstances of your accident and injury will allow you to claim successfully.

We'll obtain the necessary details for the first stage of your claim, and then pass your case to the right solicitor. The solicitor will then contact you to discuss matters in greater depth and offer you advice about your claim and what needs to be done. They will keep you updated throughout the process of the claim.

It is not possible to put an exact time-frame on how long your claim will take or how much compensation you'll receive, although your solicitor should be able to give you an idea as the claim progresses.

Claims process – step by step

No win no fee has had its share of bad press but is in essence a fair and just means of providing everyone with access to justice, especially to those who can't afford to pay solicitors' costs.

We are proud to be part of the personal injury claims industry and help our clients to claim compensation they deserve in an efficient and ethical way. The no win no fee system may have changed since the introduction of the Jackson Reforms in April 2013, but you still pay nothing if you lose and retain the maximum amount of compensation should you win.

However, the changes mean you now contribute a small amount should you win your claim. Any deductions are limited to 25% maximum and are taken from your compensation before you receive the balance. It continues to be very much worth it for a claimant to pursue their claim.
