Personal injury
Hurt in an accident that wasn't your fault?
Have you suffered an injury or a loss as a result of a road traffic accident? You may be entitled to compensation, and we can tell you the best route forward.
Personal injuries come from accidents and incidents such as road accidents, work accidents, incidents in public places, CICA claims and product liability claims. In many of these cases someone else is at fault: you are the victim and want to find out whether you have a right to compensation.
Personal injury claims can be hard to assess. With Concept Law Solicitors, you will be properly advised on the best route of action for you and your claim. Our experienced team of qualified solicitors has an up to date, in-depth knowledge of how the law is applied, so they can advise you accurately and confidently and work to obtain the best result for you.
If your claim is successful, we are dedicated to obtaining the maximum amount of compensation in the shortest possible time. We are passionate about providing a quality, value for money service while causing you as little inconvenience as possible.

Personal injury questions
I have had an accident, but I am not sure whether I can make a claim?
Even if you are unsure whether you can make a claim, please call us on 01282 700200. Our qualified solicitors will take further details from you and assess whether you have a claim. They will do this for free.
How much time do I have to make a claim?
Three years from the date of the accident. There are a few exceptions to the rule. For example, where a child has been involved in an accident, the limitation period runs for three years from the day the child turns 18, so until their 21st birthday. For more information about the time limits involved in making a claim, please contact us.
How much compensation will I receive?
It is very difficult to estimate how much you may receive without knowing the full circumstances of your accident. Each compensation claim is dealt with individually and on its own merits.
If you have suffered a whiplash injury in a motor accident, your compensation is set by a tariff introduced by the government in 2021.
How long will it take before I receive my compensation?
There is no set time in which a case will conclude. Some cases last a couple of months, others can take up to a year. The normal period is between 6 and 9 months, but it all depends on the circumstances of the individual case. Most of our time is spent writing and replying to letters. We reply to all correspondence as quickly as possible, but delays can occur because third parties can take their time in replying.
Will I have to go to court to obtain compensation?
We will always try to deal with your claim in the way that is most convenient to you. Very few personal injury claims proceed to court. If there is no dispute about who was at fault for the accident and the level of injuries received, your claim is very likely to be settled outside of court. In some cases where there is a dispute you may have to attend court, and your solicitor will advise you fully about this.
Will I need to visit a doctor or go to hospital?
Although it is not essential, a medical record is helpful in pursuing your claim. There needs to be some form of medical evidence of the injuries you sustained, and a visit to the doctor as soon as possible after the accident helps prove the extent of your injuries. We may then arrange for you to see a medical expert to assess your injuries.
If you have suffered a whiplash injury in a motor accident, you are not entitled to receive compensation for those injuries unless you are examined by a medical expert.
What is an interim payment?
An interim payment is an amount paid to you in partial settlement of your claim. It does not mean your claim has been fully settled: the third party will still deal with any outstanding parts of your claim.
