There are many different reasons that people seek a personal injury solicitor to take up their case. You may have been involved in a road traffic accident, a work accident, a criminal claims injury, suffered medical negligence or had a slip, trip or fall. Many companies, businesses and even individuals take out liability insurance to protect themselves against such claims.

These days many people who have suffered an injury want to make a no win no fee injury claim. The reason for this is that accident claims can be very costly which means that if you are on a low income it makes making a claim prohibitive. Taking action on a no win no fee basis means that if you do not win your case the solicitor does not get a fee. Most fees are generally paid by the other side and covered by their liability insurance.
People are often worried that if they lose their claim that they will end up having to find the money to cover the costs that have accrued during the case. Generally you make an agreement with your solicitor and take out an insurance policy so that if you do lose the costs are covered by this policy rather than out of your pocket.
The reason people make personal injury claims is that they have suffered loss ,injury or financial loss due to an accident that was not their fault. To have a successful case you will need evidence that your solicitor can present in court to back up your claims.
The amount of compensation you mat get will depend on the level and severity of your injury. So if you have broken your arm you may get compensation relating to current and future loss of earnings, this may be an amount equivalent to the money you have lost through not being able to work whilst your arm heals. If you suffer more permanent damage then the compensation will reflect that fact, a loss of a limb for example would attract a higher level of compensation.
