- Accident at work claims

No Win No Fee Personal Injury Claims in Newark
We believe that access to justice should not depend on your financial position. For this reason, many of our personal injury claims are funded under a no win no fee agreement, also known as a Conditional Fee Arrangement.
This means there is nothing to pay upfront when you begin your claim. If your case is successful, our fees are calculated as a pre-agreed percentage of the compensation recovered. If we do not secure compensation for you, you will not be required to pay our legal fees.
In some cases, it may also be possible to fund a claim through an existing legal expenses insurance policy, such as cover included with home insurance. We will discuss all available funding options with you at the outset.

How to Make a Personal Injury Claim
We aim to make bringing a personal injury claim as straightforward as possible. When you instruct our Newark team, we will guide you through the process and handle the legal work from start to finish.
1. Free initial consultation
Your claim begins with a free initial consultation, where we will talk through what happened, the injuries you have suffered and how they have affected your life. We will advise whether you may have grounds to claim and outline the next steps.
2. Case assessment and evidence gathering
If you decide to proceed, we will gather the evidence needed to support your claim. This may include medical records, witness statements, accident reports and any available photographic or digital evidence.
3. Managing your claim and liability
We will formally notify the party responsible for your injury and manage all correspondence on your behalf. If responsibility is disputed, we will advise you on how this affects your case.
4. Medical assessment and valuation
An independent medical expert will assess your injuries. Using this report and evidence of any financial losses, we will calculate the full value of your claim and advise on an appropriate settlement figure.
5. Settlement or resolution
Most personal injury claims are resolved through negotiation without the need for court proceedings. Where a settlement cannot be agreed, we will advise you clearly on your options and represent you robustly if court action becomes necessary.

Personal Injury FAQs
How long do I have to make a personal injury claim?
In most personal injury cases, you have three years to bring a claim. This time limit usually runs from the date of the accident itself, or from the date you first became aware that your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence. There are important exceptions, such as claims involving children or individuals who lack mental capacity. Our Newark personal injury solicitors can explain exactly how the limitation rules apply to your circumstances.
How long does a personal injury claim take?
The length of a personal injury claim depends on factors such as the severity of the injury and whether the other party accepts responsibility. Straightforward claims can sometimes be resolved within a few months, particularly where liability is admitted early. More complex cases, including serious or long-term injuries, may take a year or longer. Throughout your claim, we will keep you updated and work to progress matters as efficiently as possible.
What happens if I lose my personal injury claim?
If your claim is funded under a no win no fee agreement, you will not be required to pay our legal fees if the claim is unsuccessful. This arrangement is designed to remove financial risk and allow you to pursue compensation with confidence. Before your claim begins, we will clearly explain how funding works and ensure you fully understand any potential costs involved, so there are no surprises later on.
