How long a personal injury claim takes depends heavily on the complexity of the case. This can take anywhere from 6 months to several years typically, with varying factors including whether there are disputes around liability, the severity of the injury, if the claim is settled before court or a court case is required and whether long-term assessments and monitoring are needed.

If the accident resulting in your injury was partly your fault, but there was a failure in the duty of care of another party, then you may still have a case for compensation. Following an initial assessment, our personal injury solicitors will identify whether you have a viable case for compensation.
