What is a Personal Injury Claim?

A personal injury claim allows you to seek compensation if you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful actions. These injuries may happen at work, on the road, in public places, or because of faulty or dangerous products.

If someone else is at fault, you may be entitled to claim. Personal injury law can help secure compensation that covers medical costs, lost earnings, pain and suffering, and other expenses linked to your recovery.

The amount awarded will depend on how serious your injuries are and the financial impact they’ve had on your life.

In most cases, you’ll need to begin your personal injury claim within three years of the accident — or three years from when you first realised the injury was linked to someone else’s actions. Acting promptly gives you the best chance of a successful outcome.
