Can I make a personal injury claim?
You may be entitled to compensation if another person or organisation caused your injury through negligence.
Compensation can cover:
Pain, suffering and loss of amenity (the enjoyment of everyday life)
Lost earnings and future loss of earnings
Treatment, rehabilitation and care costs
Specialist equipment and home adaptations.
You usually have three years from the date of your accident to start court proceedings. For some claims, the three years runs from the date you first knew negligence may have caused your injury, as set out in the Limitation Act 1980. Different rules apply to children and to adults who lack mental capacity.
If a family member cannot manage their own claim, we can help you bring it on their behalf. We work alongside our Court of Protection specialists where needed. Early advice helps us protect your evidence and your position.

Birmingham sits at the heart of the UK motorway network. The M6, M5, M42 and M40 all serve the region. Traffic volumes are high. This increases the risk of serious collisions involving drivers, motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians.
We act for clients injured on major routes and on local roads across Birmingham, Solihull, Coventry and the Black Country. Whether you have a fracture, psychological trauma or a catastrophic injury, we can help you claim compensation and access rehabilitation. We can also help where the driver responsible was uninsured or cannot be identified.
Manufacturing, engineering, logistics and construction are central to Birmingham’s economy. These industries carry higher risks, and Health and Safety Executive statistics show that workplace injuries remain a significant issue across Great Britain.
We help people injured in warehouse accidents, machinery incidents and construction site accidents. We also act for employees hurt in manual handling incidents and workplace falls. We represent employees injured in offices, healthcare settings and public sector workplaces.

Supporting your recovery and rehabilitation

We look for every opportunity to secure early access to rehabilitation. Depending on your case, this could include:
Physiotherapy
Occupational therapy
Psychological treatment
Specialist medical care
Support workers
Accommodation adaptations.
Early rehabilitation gives you the best chance of recovery and helps you keep your independence.
How much does a personal injury claim cost?
You should be able to seek justice without financial risk. Many of our cases run on a no win no fee basis, which means you do not pay our fees if your claim is unsuccessful.
If your claim succeeds, we charge a success fee capped at 25% of your compensation. We never deduct our fee from compensation for future financial losses, such as future earnings.
We will always explain your funding options clearly, including legal expenses insurance, so you know what to expect from the start.
How long will my claim take?
Every claim is different. Most take between 12 and 24 months to settle, depending on the complexity of your case and whether the other side disputes liability. Serious injury claims often take longer because we need detailed medical evidence.
