Can I make a compensation claim?
In the UK, anyone who has suffered from personal injury as a result of another party’s negligence is permitted to file a compensation claim.
In most personal injury cases, there are strict time limits to take legal action. Unless the claim is for a child, a personal injury claim would need to be filed within three years of realising that the injury was the fault of another party. Children would usually have up until their 21st birthday to file a claim.
To file a valid claim, the claimant must prove that someone had breached their duty of care whereby you suffered a personal injury or a loss as a result.
This means that you can make a claim if you can prove that your injury was caused by the fault of a person or organisation by which had legal responsibility for your welfare.

Providing the evidence of your injury is usually simpler than proving that the other party is negligent and responsible for your injury or loss. Seeing a doctor should confirm that you have suffered an injury but evidence to show that it was the result after an accident which someone else was legally responsible for may be more difficult.
Emotional distress such as stress or distressed sleep and any financial losses incurred as a result of the accident can also be compensated, again providing you have proof to verify that it was the other party who is responsible.
As long as you have a strong and justifiable case with enough evidence to prove any personal injuries or losses, and providing you claim within three years of the accident or loss, anyone is entitled to make a no win no fee* claim.
