- Road traffic accidents

- Psychological injury claims
- Fatal injuries actions
We offer consultations in person, by telephone and remotely.
What Is a Personal Injury Claim?
A personal injury claim arises where a person suffers physical or psychological harm because another party failed to take reasonable care.
The purpose of a claim is to recover compensation for the losses suffered, which may include pain and suffering, medical expenses, loss of earnings and future care needs.
Every case depends on its own facts and must be assessed individually.
Personal Injury Claims Process
One of the first issues in any case is determining who was responsible for the incident and whether they breached their duty of care.
Depending on the circumstances, this may involve examining:
- Accident reports
- Witness evidence
- CCTV footage
- Photographs of the scene
- Maintenance records
- Medical documentation
- Early investigation is often important, particularly where evidence may become unavailable over time.
Personal Injuries Resolution Board Applications
Many claims begin with an application to the Personal Injuries Resolution Board.
The Board may assess compensation where sufficient information is available and the circumstances are suitable for assessment. In other situations, particularly where liability is disputed or the injuries are complex, the matter may proceed outside the assessment process.
We advise clients at every stage and explain the options available before important decisions are made.
When Court Proceedings May Be Necessary
Many personal injury claims are resolved without the need for a court hearing. However, in some cases, court proceedings may be necessary.
This may occur where:
- Responsibility for the incident is disputed
- The Board declines to assess the matter
- An assessment is rejected
- Complex factual or medical issues arise
Issuing proceedings does not necessarily mean a case will proceed to trial. Many disputes are resolved through negotiation before reaching a courtroom.
