Advising and assisting our community

Accidents happen and in many cases someone else or something else is at fault and these accident victims have a right to compensation.

To establish whether you have a case we will need to know certain details:

• the date of the accident and where and how it happened;
• the contact details for any witness(es);
• the details of your injuries, medical diagnosis and treatment received so far;
• whether you are a member of a trade union;
• proof of any financial expenses which are the result of your injury;
• documents relating to any insurance policies you have (such as household or motor insurance) to check whether these will cover the legal costs of your claim; and
• any document that can be used to support your claim.

You should bring as many of the documents listed above as possible to our meeting in order that we can progress a potential claim as quickly as possible.

Once we have reviewed the documentation that you provide to us, we will be able to give an indication of how likely your case is to succeed and how much you might be able to claim in compensation.
