Personal Injury Claims We Handle in Boston

Accidents at Work

Boston’s food processing plants, port operations, distribution centres, and agricultural workplaces all carry inherent risks. If you have been injured at work due to your employer’s negligence – whether through faulty machinery, inadequate training, unsafe working conditions, or failure to provide proper protective equipment – you may be entitled to compensation. We handle claims involving industrial injuries, manual handling injuries, repetitive strain injuries, exposure to hazardous substances, and falls in the workplace.

Road Traffic Accidents

The A16 and A52 are busy routes through Boston carrying significant volumes of commercial and agricultural traffic. Whether you have been involved in a collision as a driver, passenger, motorcyclist, cyclist, or pedestrian, we can help you claim compensation for your injuries. This includes accidents on Boston’s main roads, at roundabouts, on rural fenland lanes, and in car parks.

Slips, Trips and Falls

Injuries caused by uneven pavements, wet floors in shops or supermarkets, poorly maintained paths, or hazards in public places are common and often preventable. If you have been injured because of a defect or hazard that should have been addressed, you may have a valid claim against the responsible party – whether that is a business, a local authority, or a property owner.

Catastrophic Injuries

Serious injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, amputations, and severe burns change lives permanently. Our team has experience handling high-value catastrophic injury claims, working with medical experts and rehabilitation specialists to ensure your compensation reflects not only your current losses but your future care needs, loss of earnings, and quality of life.

Fatal Accidents and Inquests

If you have lost a family member as a result of an accident or negligence, we can help you pursue a fatal accident claim. This includes dependency claims for financial losses, bereavement damages, and funeral costs. We also represent families at inquests, ensuring their questions are answered and their interests are properly represented.

Occupiers’ Liability

Property owners and occupiers have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. If you have been injured at a shop, restaurant, gym, leisure centre, or on any other person’s property due to a hazard they failed to address, you may be able to claim compensation.

Holiday Accidents

If you were injured during a package holiday – whether at a hotel, on an excursion, or due to food poisoning caused by poor hygiene – you may be able to claim under the Package Travel Regulations. We can advise you on your rights and whether you have grounds for a claim.

How Does a Personal Injury Claim Work?

Understanding the claims process can make a stressful situation feel more manageable. Here is what to expect when you make a personal injury claim with Bird & Co.

1. Free Initial Consultation

You contact us by phone, online, or in person at one of our offices. A solicitor discusses the circumstances of your accident, assesses whether you have a viable claim, and explains the next steps. There is no charge and no obligation to proceed.

2. Investigation

If you decide to go ahead, we gather the evidence needed to support your claim. This may include accident reports, CCTV footage, witness statements, photographs of the scene, and records from your employer or the responsible party.

3. Medical Assessment

We arrange an independent medical examination with a specialist relevant to your injuries. The medical report documents the nature and severity of your injuries, your prognosis, and any ongoing treatment or rehabilitation you need. This report is central to valuing your claim.

4. Negotiation

We submit your claim to the other side (typically their insurer) and negotiate on your behalf to secure fair compensation. We handle all correspondence and push back against low offers. You are kept informed throughout and no settlement is accepted without your agreement.

5. Settlement or Court

The majority of personal injury claims settle through negotiation without the need for court proceedings. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, Bird & Co will not hesitate to issue court proceedings and pursue your case to trial.

Typical timescales: Most personal injury claims take between 12 and 18 months to resolve. Straightforward cases with clear liability may settle more quickly, while complex claims – particularly those involving serious injuries or disputed liability – can take longer. We will give you a realistic estimate based on the specifics of your case.

What Compensation Can You Claim?

Personal injury compensation is made up of two parts:

General Damages

This covers the pain, suffering, and loss of amenity caused by your injuries. The amount depends on the type and severity of your injury, how long your recovery takes, and any lasting impact on your daily life.

Special Damages

These are the financial losses you have incurred (or will incur) as a direct result of your injury. They can include:

• Lost earnings – both income you have already lost and projected future earnings if you are unable to return to your previous role
• Medical and rehabilitation costs – treatment, physiotherapy, counselling, medication, and any private medical care
• Travel expenses – costs of travelling to medical appointments, hospital visits, and solicitor meetings
• Care and assistance – the cost of care provided by professionals or family members during your recovery
• Adaptations – modifications to your home or vehicle if required due to your injuries

Every claim is different, and the compensation you receive will reflect your individual circumstances. We assess your losses thoroughly to ensure nothing is overlooked.

No Win, No Fee Personal Injury Solicitors

We handle personal injury claims on a no win, no fee basis, formally known as a conditional fee arrangement (CFA). This means:

• No upfront costs – You do not pay anything to start your claim or at any point during the process.
• No financial risk – If your claim is unsuccessful, you do not owe us any legal fees.
• Success fee – If your claim succeeds, a success fee is deducted from your compensation. This percentage is agreed with you before you proceed, so there are no surprises. We will explain exactly how this works during your free initial consultation.

This arrangement exists so that anyone with a genuine personal injury claim can access legal representation, regardless of their financial situation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims in Boston

How long do I have to make a personal injury claim?

In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident (or the date you became aware of your injury) to start court proceedings. For children, the three-year limit begins on their 18th birthday. If the injured person lacks mental capacity, the limitation period may be suspended. These time limits are strict, so it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible after an accident.

How much does it cost to make a personal injury claim in Boston?

Nothing upfront. We handle personal injury claims on a no win, no fee basis. If your claim is unsuccessful, you pay nothing in legal fees. If your claim succeeds, a pre-agreed success fee is deducted from your compensation. We explain all costs clearly during your free initial consultation before you decide whether to proceed.

How long does a personal injury claim take?

Most claims are resolved within 12 to 18 months. Simpler cases with clear liability and straightforward injuries may settle more quickly. Claims involving serious injuries, ongoing treatment, or disputed liability can take longer. We will give you a realistic timeline based on the specifics of your case.

Do I need a local solicitor for a personal injury claim in Boston?

No. Personal injury claims do not require face-to-face meetings in most cases. Evidence gathering, medical reports, negotiations, and correspondence are all handled remotely. Bird & Co serves clients across the Borough of Boston from our Lincolnshire offices in Grantham, Lincoln, and Newark. Where a face-to-face meeting is needed, we offer home visits across the Boston area.

What evidence do I need for a personal injury claim?

Useful evidence includes photographs of the accident scene and your injuries, details of any witnesses, medical records and GP notes, an accident report (if completed at your workplace), and records of any financial losses such as payslips or receipts. If you do not have all of this, do not worry – we will advise you on what evidence is needed and help gather it as part of the claims process.

Can I claim if the accident was partly my fault?

Yes. If another party was at least partially responsible for your accident, you may still be able to claim compensation. This is known as contributory negligence. Your compensation may be reduced to reflect your share of responsibility, but you can still receive a significant award. We will assess the circumstances honestly and advise you on the likely impact.
