Can I make a personal injury claim?
Personal Injury applies to physical and/or psychological harm resulting from an accident caused by someone else’s negligence.
According to figures released by The Law Society, over three million people are injured in accidents each year – be it at home, in their cars, at work, in public places or outdoors.
If you have sustained an injury which you believe was caused by someone else, you may have a right to claim for damages (compensation). Although personal injury law is complicated, with the help and guidance of Simpkins & Co Solicitors, the navigation of your claim’s process will be made easier. We offer a free initial consultation and will be able to tell you if you have a valid claim.
We can also act for you on other cases of personal injury including industrial disease claims and medical negligence.

What are the costs of legal advice?
In the first instance we offer a FREE initial consultation with one of our personal injury specialists. We will discuss your case and then advise you on the likelihood of your claim succeeding.
Whilst legal aid for personal injury cases in the UK is no longer available, if you win your case the Defendant (other side) will be liable to pay your legal fees on top of your compensation.
Simpkins & Co Solicitors may be able to act on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis, plus we can advise you on whether you may have legal expenses insurance cover already in place via other means.
This will be fully explained at your FREE initial consultation.
Other funding options will also be explored and if available they will be fully explained to you.
