We know that making a claim can feel daunting. We’re here to help with that. When you submit your details, you’ll be in safe hands. Our partner is National Accident Helpline – the UK’s leading personal injury service. Their friendly legal services advisers will call you to talk about your claim and give you free, no-obligation advice. National Accident Helpline may pay us a marketing fee if you decide to proceed with your case.
If you win your case, your solicitor’s success fee will be taken from the compensation you are awarded – up to a maximum of 25%. Your solicitor will discuss any fees before starting your case.
We have built this website to provide help for people who have suffered from a personal injury. You can find information about different types of accident claims as well as how the compensation claims process works.

Having worked in the industry for several years, we have a multitude of experience when it comes to personal injury claims.
Believe us, we’ve seen it all. Now, however, we choose to work with the best no win no fee solicitors instead of for them.
We have a relationship with a leading UK injury specialist who can arrange free initial claim assessments for our visitors.
Claims.co.uk carried out a survey about the personal injury claims process, to get an idea of the general public’s knowledge of how it all works. Some of the results from the survey can been seen further down this page, and they demonstrate the need to get in touch with an expert injury lawyer to help with your claim.
The government created a streamlined system for claims in April 2010, which was expanded in 2013. Road traffic accidents, employers liability and public liability claims valued up to £25,000 are usually handled within this process.
We asked members of the public to rate their knowledge of the process of making a claim for compensation. As the chart below shows, less than 1 in 10 people rated their knowledge as ‘very good’:
We aim to provide information, helpful resources and other useful services to all victims of personal injury.
If you have any questions about your specific accident claim, we strongly recommend that you speak with one of our partner UK injury specialists as soon as possible by calling the freephone number provided, or by submitting your details using the form at the top of the page.
Most injury lawyers work on a no win no fee basis, meaning there is no financial risk to starting your personal injury claim. Your lawyer will usually arrange ATE insurance for you to ensure your claim is risk free. If successful, your lawyer’s legal fees will be taken as a percentage of the compensation you receive – in most cases, up to 25%.
Termination fees may apply based on time spent on your claim, or if your case does not proceed because you do not cooperate fully with your solicitor by, for example, deliberately misleading your solicitor, failing to attend a court hearing, or not going to a medical/expert examination.
All advice is provided with no obligation to use the solicitor’s services.
The no win no fee system was introduced in the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990, but did not come into use until 1995.
