FAQs • Personal Injury Claims

Do you work on a no-win, no-fee basis?

We will offer a no-win, no-fee arrangement if we believe the case is appropriate to do so. Please talk to us about the range of funding options available for your case.

How long does it take to complete a personal injury case?

The time a personal injury case takes to conclude can vary hugely based on the facts of the case and the nature of the claim. It could take anything from months to years to see a claim through. Most cases are resolved with six to nine months.

How much compensation can I expect to receive?

This depends specifically on the severity and nature of your injury, as well as how long the injury lasted for. The amount of compensation can vary drastically from case to case. It is a good idea to be wary of anyone who can tell you the value of your claim before you have started to make it. At Prince Evans we will always ensure that you receive the maximum compensation available to you.

Will I need to attend court?

It is not usually the case that you need to attend court. Personal injury claims rarely go to court, and it is usually only necessary if the facts of the case are disputed. In the majority of cases, when a defendant admits liability, the case settles without the need to go to court.

Can I make a claim if I didn’t seek medical attention after the injury?

People often see their GP after suffering an injury, but it is not necessary to do so in order to be able to make a claim. A claim can be made whether or not you sought medical attention at the time or later.

Can I still make a claim if the company I worked for no longer exists?

Yes, this is possible. An employer does not need to exist as a company to be liable. Additionally, if a now defunct company had insurance at the time of injury then you can make a claim against this.

I was partly at fault for my injury, can I still make a claim?

Being partly responsible for the injury is not a barrier to making a claim. An adjustment can be made at the end of the case that will reflect the degree to which you were responsible for the injury. Our team can advise you on the details.

Can I be fired for making a personal injury claim against my employer?

No, this would be contrary to employment law.
