How to Make a Claim
It isn’t difficult to make a claim and it doesn’t have to be stressful. We’ll be there with you to ensure you get the compensation you deserve . . .
Only pay a fee if you receive compensation
Where we offer No Win No Fee services typically customers pay 25% of the amount recovered by our solicitors, although this will be subject to your individual circumstances and the actual fee may be less than this but it will never be more. Success fees are common practice and they were introduced when the law changed in April 2013.

Making a personal injury claim?
A person injury is an injury or illness that you have suffered because of the actions of another person or organisation. If that has happened to you, there may be a case to claim financial compensation from those at fault.
There are four simple steps to making a claim:
1. Get in touch
- Call us on the number at the top of the screen
- Request a callback at a time to suit you
- Start your claim online
2. Free initial consultation
Our friendly legal claims advisors will discuss your situation and assess whether you have a claim.
There is no obligation or cost to find this out.
3. Solicitor match
If you choose to proceed with a claim, we will match you with specialist injury lawyers for your case, and tell you about our No Win No Fee service.
4. Manage your claim
Our specialist No Win No Fee solicitors will look after your entire claim from start to finish, helping you get the compensation you deserve.
We believe in working honestly and with integrity – we don’t believe in raising expectations and we don’t encourage false claims.
What happens during the claim?
Our personal injury solicitors will discuss your injury or accident claim with you in detail, including what you have been through and how you have been affected. They will also want to know about any police reports, accident reports, medical evidence and witnesses you may have.
If they agree that you have a case, they will talk you through the personal injury claim process, including the No Win No Fee agreement.
About No Win No Fee
Only pay a fee if you receive compensation.
Where we offer No Win No Fee services typically customers pay 25% of the amount recovered by our solicitors, although this will be subject to your individual circumstances and the actual fee may be less than this but it will never be more. Success fees are common practice and they were introduced when the law changed in April 2013.
Once that’s all done, your solicitor will get in touch with the person/people responsible for your injury or accident to tell them you intend to make a claim.
They must then decide to:
- Accept liability – if they do, your solicitor will negotiate on your behalf
or - Reject liability – in this case, your solicitor will review the evidence and advise you of your next steps.
