What is a personal injury?

A personal injury isn't always visible like a bruise or a broken bone; the words 'personal injury' describe many different types of harm that can befall you in your daily life.

That's why our personal injury solicitors are experienced in dealing with everything from slips and trips to industrial disease. If a personal injury has been caused by someone else, you will often be able to claim compensation for the injuries sustained. The majority of our personal injury claims are made on a No Win No Fee basis.

Under the new, government process, this service is conducted through an online portal, therefore any updates on your case will be given via the micase portal which you can log onto at any time to check the progress.

One of the factors involved in how long your case will take is whether or not the other party accepts responsibility for the accident and how long their representatives take to respond. We will keep you updated of progress via the portal when anything material happens with your claim.

Our head of serious injury, Tracey Benson, answers common queries relating to personal injury claims and how the process works:
