Why choose VWV’s Birmingham personal injury solicitors?
Every injury is different. We take the time to understand how yours has affected your life before we recommend a strategy that fits your circumstances.
Many of our clients have serious injuries that need ongoing treatment, rehabilitation or care. Where possible, we seek early interim payments so you can access the support you need without waiting for your claim to settle.
You will have a dedicated solicitor who gives you clear advice and regular updates from your first call through to settlement. Our lawyers have extensive experience of complex claims involving brain injuries, spinal injuries, fatal accidents and clinical negligence.
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. The three years may run 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.
Personal injury claims we handle in London
Can you claim?
If someone else is responsible, fully or partly, for your injury, you may be entitled to compensation. We handle claims from road accidents, workplace incidents, accidents in public places, medical negligence, criminal injury and more.
If a loved one lacks mental capacity to claim, we can help you to claim on their behalf. Our Court of Protection team can help manage any awarded compensation.
Compensation and support
Your compensation will reflect care needs, lost earnings, equipment, and rehabilitation costs. Complex claims, including multi-million pound settlements, are handled with “no win, no fee” options for peace of mind.
You usually need to start court proceedings within three years of your injury. For those lacking mental capacity, different rules may apply. Seeking advice early is best.
Brain injuries can affect memory, communication and concentration. They can also change behaviour and emotional wellbeing. The effects are often felt by the whole family as well as the injured person.
We help clients secure compensation after traumatic brain injuries caused by road traffic collisions, workplace incidents, falls and accidents in public places. We work with rehabilitation providers and medical specialists so you have the treatment and support you need throughout your recovery.
Patients expect safe and appropriate treatment. When standards fall short, the consequences can be life-changing.
We act for people who have suffered avoidable harm through delayed diagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes or birth injuries. We also help where ongoing care has failed. We regularly advise patients treated at National Health Service (NHS) and private hospitals, including:
St Thomas’ Hospital
Guy’s Hospital
King’s College Hospital
University College Hospital
The Royal London Hospital.
London’s transport network carries millions of journeys every day. We help people injured in collisions involving cars, motorcycles and buses. We also act for cyclists and pedestrians. Our team helps people hurt on trains, Underground services and at transport hubs.
Claims often involve buses, taxis, delivery vehicles and commercial traffic. Whether your injury happened on the North Circular, the A40 or while using public transport, we can advise you on your options.
London’s economy spans construction, finance and healthcare as well as retail, hospitality and professional services. The capital also hosts a large construction sector, and regeneration projects and infrastructure works can create serious risks.
We act for employees injured in offices, hospitals, construction projects, farms and more. Where an employer has failed to maintain a safe system of work, we help you pursue compensation and get practical support while you recover. If there has been a fatality we can also offer compassionate representation at inquests, ensuring families have support and answers.
If unsafe conditions on another person's property have caused you injury, you may be entitled to compensation. We will investigate what happened and advise you on your prospects of success.
When someone dies after an accident or negligent medical treatment, families face emotional and financial uncertainty.
We support bereaved families across London. We investigate what happened, advise on compensation claims and represent you at the inquest where required.
Supporting your recovery and rehabilitation
Compensation is only one part of your recovery. We look for every opportunity to secure early access to treatment and rehabilitation. This can include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychological support and specialist medical care.
How much does a personal injury claim cost?
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, our success fee is capped at 25% of your compensation.
We never deduct our fee from compensation for future financial losses, such as future earnings. At your initial consultation, we will explain all your funding options and recommend the best arrangement for you.
How long will my claim take?
Most claims take between 12 and 24 months to settle. The timescale depends on how complex your case is and whether the other side disputes liability. Serious injury claims often take longer because of the medical evidence involved.
Supporting clients across London
London’s hospitals include some of the country’s leading teaching hospitals and specialist treatment centres. This can make clinical negligence claims more complex, and our solicitors understand the legal and practical challenges involved.
Whether you were hurt on the road, at work or in hospital, we will work closely with you to secure compensation and rehabilitation that reflect your needs.
Nicola Bickham's ability to deal with complex medical evidence and liaise with experts without recourse to counsel is excellent. She has excellent insight into how a claim should be run and is empathetic with clients, but willing to give straightforward and robust advice.
FAQs
You may be entitled to compensation if negligence caused your injury on the Underground, Overground, a bus or a tram. Claims can arise from slips and trips, unsafe conditions, collisions or failures in health and safety procedures.
Seek medical attention first, then report the accident to the police where appropriate. Gather as much evidence as you can, including photographs, witness details and details of any vehicles involved. Early legal advice helps preserve your evidence and explain your options.
If negligent treatment at an NHS or private hospital caused you avoidable harm, you may be able to bring a clinical negligence claim. Our solicitors regularly advise patients treated at hospitals across London and can assess whether you have grounds for a claim.
A No Win No Fee agreement (or a Conditional Fee Agreement) is an agreement which protects you against having to pay legal fees if you lose your case. Regardless of how your case is funded we will always keep you informed of your costs all the way through your case and we will always answer any questions you may have about costs as the case progresses.
You usually have three years from the date of your accident to start court proceedings. Different rules apply to children and to adults who lack mental capacity, so it is best to take advice early.
On average it takes between 1-2 years for a case to settle. It will depend on whether a claim is disputed. We will give you an estimate as to how long we think a case will take at the start and update you throughout. We will always ensure that a claim is resolved as soon as possible.
Most personal injury and clinical negligence claims settle without a trial. If court proceedings become necessary, our experienced litigators will guide and support you at every stage.
