Personal Injury Claims

Personal injury law states that an individual may be entitled to compensation if it can be proven that physical or psychological injuries they have sustained are due to the failure of another to use reasonable care. The compensation awarded for a personal injury claim is determined by the impact of the injury in terms of pain level and emotional distress. It also takes into account the duration of this pain and suffering and the cost of any medical care required for rehabilitation. If you have been injured by the actions or negligence of another, whether this is an organisation or an individual, you may be entitled to make a claim. At Lawson Taylor we are happy to have an informal chat about your options and, if you decide to go ahead with your claim, will provide expert advice every step of the process. People are often unsure about proceeding with a Personal Injury Claim because they believe that they may personally incur costs. All personal injury cases handled by Lawson Taylor are undertaken on a no win no fee basis and, with a couple of exceptions, all claimants can expect to receive 100% of the compensation awarded.

Why Make a Personal Injury Claim?

Following an accident caused by another’s negligence, you as the victim are the one who must bear the physical, emotional and financial costs. The Law recognises that organisations and individuals have a responsibility to others around them. It states that if their actions place the welfare of another at risk, they must be prepared to meet the costs of the consequences for those affected. As a result of these responsibilities, companies and individuals are required to hold insurance to cover the expense of any personal injury claims made against them. If you are considering seeking compensation it is important to remember that making a claim following an accident is your legal right. As the person who has had to endure the physical, emotional and financial impact of an injury you deserve to have the support you need and should not feel hesitant about making a claim. Working with your Solicitor, you can ensure that you receive the maximum level of compensation you are entitled to and help to ensure that a similar accident does not happen again.

If you or someone close to you has been involved in an accident that was not their fault, contact Lawson Taylor today to discuss your options.
