- Typically, this is up to 25% of the compensation secured.
- This figure can vary slightly either way depending on the claim circumstances.
- It will only be deducted when your compensation is paid.
- There are no upfront costs and no hidden charges.
If you don’t win your claim, you pay nothing.
- Your lawyer may need to arrange insurance for you to ensure claiming is risk-free.
- You’ll never be left out of pocket – that’s our guarantee.
Always remember that if you fail to cooperate with your lawyer, you may have to pay termination fees which will be calculated with reference to the time spend on your claim.

What Is A Personal Injury Claim?
Throughout this site, you will see the term ‘personal injury’ used quite a lot to describe different circumstances or in relation to accident claims being made. But, what is a ‘personal injury’, what is the UK law definition of a personal injury and is there a personal injury claims time limit?
When you see sites such as ours use phrases such as personal injury or personal injury law, we are using these are terms to describe an injury (or an illness) that was caused by a third party, often through negligence. A common example of an injury may be whiplash caused by a reckless driver colliding with your vehicle.
Personal injury law simply refers to laws and pieces of legislation which relate to conferring responsibility or liability on a person who caused an accident. For example, different pieces of health and safety legislation require employers to keep those working for them safely.
If you have been affected by and hurt in an accident which was not your fault our team of UK Lawyers could help you claim compensation. Don’t worry if you are not sure if your circumstances fit into a personal injury claim, contact our team to see if you are eligible.
Road Traffic Accident Claims
Have you been injured in a road accident, traffic accident or car accident either in the UK or whilst abroad? If you were injured as a result, such as suffering whiplash and could show that another person caused the accident, the team at UK Law could help you to claim compensation.
It is not just those driving a vehicle or riding a motorbike or bicycle who could claim for injuries caused by traffic accidents. Passengers in a private vehicle or on public transport, pedestrians crossing the road and even innocent bystanders on the pavement could all be caught up in a road accident. Being involved in a car accident or other vehicle accident could cause you anything from quite minor through to very serious forms of injury.
Our friendly panel of Lawyers and solicitors are on hand to discuss your case.

Slip, Trip And Fall Claims
Slips, trips and falls may seem like innocuous types of accidents, after all, we have all slipped over at some time. But, they can lead to serious injuries with a lasting impact in some cases. If your slip or fall was caused by another person, a UK lawyer or solicitor may be able to help you in seeking compensation.
Slips and falls that lead to devastating injuries could happen in almost any environment. In fact, they are the single most common type of work accident in the UK. A loose paving tile in the street or damaged flooring in a shop could cause you to trip up. If your employer has left hazards about a workplace you could trip up. You could even slip over in a coffee shop if a spillage has not been attended to quickly enough.
The key criteria knitting these types of claims together is that the circumstances which caused your injury could have been avoided if the party responsible had acted to rectify the problem or to clearly signpost it, thus avoiding your slip, trip or fall.

Accident In A Public Places Claims
The team at UK Law could help you to claim for an accident which happened in a public place if it could be shown that someone was to blame for it taking place. When we look at accidents in public places and public accident claims, we are potentially referring to any circumstances where someone was harmed in an avoidable accident that happened in a place they could enter as a member of the public.
Given the scope for the places where this type of accident could take place and the ways in which it could be caused, there are numerous claims for accidents in public places made each year in the UK.
If your injury happened because someone had not met their duty of care to the public, such as failing to ensure that a retailer was safe for people to enter, you could be able to claim compensation from the party or organisation responsible. In the case of some public accident claims, such as accidents in the street, the party responsible may even be the local authority.
Medical Negligence Claims
Medical negligence claims deal with what may be one of the widest sets of circumstances in which an accident may take place. Similarly, there is also a very wide range of different injuries and effects which people could suffer.
The simplest definition of when you could make a medical negligence claim is when you have been harmed as a direct result of the negligent medical care you received. Whilst certain medical procedures or medications could have harmful side effects, if you were harmed because the person treating you did not act correctly, failed to make a correct diagnosis or failed to recommend the right treatment, you may have the basis of a claim.
Please get in touch with our advisors today to learn more about when and whether you could make a medical negligence claim.

Housing Disrepair Claims
If you find that your rented property or accommodation deteriorates and your landlord does not carry out the necessary repairs, it could be a distressing situation. You may find that if your living conditions have deteriorated, your quality of life may also deteriorate.
As a tenant renting in the private sector, from a housing association or local authority, your landlord is obliged to maintain your property and ensure that it is kept in a good state of repair. If they do not do so, you could be able to make a claim against them for housing disrepair. A property that has been allowed to fall into disrepair could lead to your being injured, your personal property being damaged by conditions such as damp, or you could contract a related illness.
You can find out more about your landlord’s obligations to maintain your home in the Landlord and Tenant Act, 1985.
Data Breach Claims
If your data has been breached, it can cause significant damage to both your finances and mental health.
If, for example, your bank accidentally sends out your new card to the wrong address, along with a PIN number, you could lose out financially if the person who received them went on to empty your bank account.
In such circumstances, it’s possible to claim compensation.
As another example, if you’ve given evidence in a criminal case and the police accidentally reveal your identity to the defendant, this could cause you significant distress. Again, it’s possible to claim compensation for this.
Get in touch with UK Law today for free advice on pursuing compensation for a data breach. It’s important to act fast as time limits in these cases can be tight.

No Win No Fee Agreements Under UK Law
Under personal injury law, you might be able to claim compensation if you suffered due to negligence. If you have an eligible claim and decide to seek compensation using the services of UK Law, our panel of solicitors could offer you a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). This is a type of No Win No Fee arrangement.
This means your UK Law personal injury solicitor typically won’t charge upfront for their services. There usually aren’t any ongoing fees under a No Win No Fee arrangement either.
If a claim is successful, a success fee will be taken from the award. The law limits the amount that can be taken. However, should a claim not succeed, the claimant is not usually asked to pay for their solicitor’s fees.
For more information on hiring a No Win No Fee lawyer for injury claims, get in touch with our advisors at any time.
