Am I eligible to make a personal injury claim?
We're dedicated to protecting our clients at all times and take pride in the fact that we do not represent insurance companies, hospitals or other large corporations. Eddowes Waldron Solicitors are a well established, local team who truly understand how an accident can leave you feeling vulnerable. Our personal injury team is considered to be one of the leaders in this field in Derbyshire.
Quite simply, if you've been injured as a result of another person's negligence, you should be able to make a personal injury claim for compensation. The general rule is that you have 3 years from the date of the injury to make a claim, however it is always best to seek legal advice as soon as possible following an accident. Click the buttons below to get in touch with one of our personal injury solicitors.
Some helpful points to consider
- Establish if there were any eye witnesses and if so, make a note of their names and addresses
- Report the accident immediately to your line manager
- Ensure that an accident report is completed and submitted to your employer as quickly as possible after the accident
- See your GP or go to A&E at your local hospital to ensure that your injuries can be confirmed at a later date
- Take photographs of the scene as soon as possible after your accident
