Call: 01429 225200Personal injury claims typically hinge on two key factors: liability and damages. Liability refers to establishing that someone else (such as another individual, a company, or an institution) was responsible for the injury due to negligence or breach of duty. Damages refer to the extent of the harm suffered by the claimant, which can include physical injuries, emotional distress, medical expenses, lost wages, and other related losses.
To determine if you have a viable claim, you should consider whether someone else's actions or negligence directly contributed to your injury and whether you have suffered significant damages as a result. Consulting with a member of our personal injury team can provide valuable insight into the strength of your case and the legal options available to you.
