Entitlement to make a personal injury claim

Am I entitled to make a claim for compensation?

To ensure that we at Minster Law are able to pursue a personal injury claim on your behalf, you need to be able to answer yes to the following questions:

If you can answer yes to the above, or are unsure about any of the answers, request a call back from one of our specialist advisors or call us on 0800 030 4012.


 

Can I make a personal injury claim on behalf of someone else?

If the accident has resulted in an injury to a dependant child, then you are able to bring a claim for personal injury on their behalf. The child may still be obliged to attend a medical examination.

For fatal accidents/injuries, dependants of the deceased (defined as dependent children, a spouse or common law spouse, or other dependants who had a relationship with the deceased) may make a claim.

Outside of this, for cases such as an elderly relative, you may request a call back or call us on 0800 030 4012 on behalf of the injured party. However, the injured person may still be required to attend a medical examination, make a statement and, in the rare situations where a case proceeds to court, they may also be required to attend the court hearing. Any compensation will be awarded to the party who has suffered the injury.

Why should I make a personal injury claim?

Personal injury claims can range from a minor whiplash injury or broken bones, through to permanent disability, and can have a severe impact on your quality of life – this could be for a short-term period, or for the rest of your life.

No matter how big or small the injury that was suffered, a claim for personal injury compensation is intended to provide financial support for any area of your life that has been affected by your accident, such as:

In short, any compensation awarded is intended, as far as possible, to restore you to the original personal and financial position you were in prior to your accident, or to compensate you for any elements where this is not possible.
