Things you need to know about Personal Injury
For a Personal Injury claim to be eligible the claimant must have either been physically or psychologically injured in the accident.
You have two years to start a personal injury claim* from the date of injury or from when you became aware of the injury (“date of knowledge”). For children, a claim can be made any time before they turn 18, after which they have two years to claim themselves. If the injury isn’t discovered immediately, the time limit may begin from the date it was identified by a doctor or medical expert.
If you have previously instructed a solicitor, we unfortunately do not instruct on other legal firms' cases.
What is the Personal Injuries Resolution Board (PIRB)?
Our personal injury solicitors are committed to achieving the best possible outcome for you.
- Explain your options clearly and help you determine the best approach for your situation
- Coordinate medical assessments to ensure your injuries are properly documented
- Communicate with relevant parties on your behalf
