Cost of Making a Personal Injury Claim

When people contact us, one of their first questions is how much does it cost to make a personal injury claim. We know that many Solicitor firms do charge a percentage of your compensation to support you through your personal injury claim.

Here at WB Pennine Solicitors, we offer a ‘no win no fee service’, so if you don’t win you claim there would be no fee to pay. If you win your case, our fees are paid by the at-fault party at rates set by the courts as reasonable charges. Unlike most solicitors, we do not charge what is known as a “success fee” which is where they deduct up to 25% of your compensation to cover any marketing costs they have incurred.

We believe you should keep 100% of your compensation and that is what we call a no deductions service.

Keep 100% of your compensation with WB Pennine Solicitors.

Personal Injury FAQs

What is Personal Injury?

Personal injury is the legal term used when someone has been physically and/or psychologically harmed as a result of someone else’s negligence. For example, you may suffer a personal injury if travelling in a car, as either a driver or a passenger, and you’re hit by another vehicle.

A personal injury claim is a legal process used to recover financial compensation for any injury or harm suffered when someone else is to blame; either fully or partially.

What types of Personal Injury can you claim for?

Some of the types of personal injury we help people claim for include:

Serious injury
Road traffic accidents (including pedestrian, cyclist, motorbike and passenger accidents)
Accidents at work
Medical negligence
Accidents in public places (slips, trips and falls)

How long will my claim take?

Each claim is different, and the amount of time your claim will take depends on you and your recovery; therefore, it isn’t possible to provide a definite timescale. However, we will be able to give you an indicative timescale after your consultation.

How long do I have to make a claim?

Generally, a person has 3 years from the date of their accident/injury to make a personal injury claim.

There are some exceptions to this, which our Personal Injury team would be able to advise you on. For example, for a child, the time limit begins on their 18th birthday, and there is no limit for anyone who does not have current mental capacity.

We would strongly advise contacting us as soon as possible after an accident, allowing as much evidence to be preserved as possible, to help your case.

How much compensation can I claim?

The most common questions asked by clients when first enquiring about a personal injury are: ‘how much compensation am I entitled to?’ or ‘how much is my claim worth?’

It’s incredibly hard to say how much compensation you are entitled to following an accident, as compensation is based on your pain, suffering and loss of amenity. Due to the different circumstances, this is based on, it means no two claims are the same, and all are treated individually.

I've had an accident at work, will I lose my job if I make a claim?

Your employer is legally obligated to have Employers’ Liability Insurance, which covers the cost of claims like this. You shouldn’t worry about damaging their business by making a claim; as this should only normally have a small impact, such as the price of insurance premiums increasing.

It is a legal responsibility of your employer to keep their workers safe and free from risk, and illegal for them to discriminate against you for making a compensation claim. Any claim made should not in any way have an impact on your right to work or make work-life intolerable. If you believe your employer is likely to retaliate, or you have fallen victim to unfair dismissal, our dedicated Employment team would be able to advise you on your rights.
