What is a personal injury?
Personal injuries can include either a physical, mental or other psychological injury or illness. Personal Injury is used as a term that covers a wide range of injury types.
Some examples of personal injures can include:
- A whiplash injury personal claim or other car accident injury.
- An accident at work can be for trips or falls from height, burns, fatal accidents, or industrial work accidents such as a work related mesothelioma claim from exposure to cancer causing asbestos for example.
- A product liability injury is from faulty or defective goods.
- Medical Negligence claim claims are against hospitals, doctors and dentists.
- A stress related injury personal claim can be made in cases where it is proven that someone (i.e. employers) has caused the long term injury to health.
- Criminal injuries are severe accidents and incidents that involve physical or mental assault and injury.
These are just some of the most common types but there are many more types of injuries suffered each year that people may be eligible to claim for.

What are the time limits for filing a Injury Personal Claim?
If you have been the victim of an accident that was not your fault, then you can seek compensation for personal injury providing the accident claim for injury damages is filed with three years, or two years for criminal injury claims. The three year limitation period applies from the date of knowledge of the injury for industrial injuries and medical negligence claims.
Making a Personal Injury Claim
You may be delaying a claim for accident injury, but as well as missing out on compensation for yourself, personal claims for someone else’s negligence may well be helpful to other members of the public or fellow employees as your claim may well in turn prevent another accident happening. It is very important when making a claim that you have reported the incident to the relevant authority, hospital, doctor, employer, insurance company, retailer, police etc if required so that there is some record of the incident. Remember to keep all evidence of the accidents, doing this may include things like bus tickets, a product receipt, try and remember accurate dates and times the incident happened, and note any witnesses you may have to the injury. This will help assist you later in when you claim compensation for personal injury. Don’t delay any longer; make a claim now with our specialist solicitors by clicking the red button below.
