We have specialist personal injury lawyers in Newcastle that can help you make a successful claim for you no fault accident.

Personal injury claims Newcastle

Generally, cases should be made within three years of having your accident.

This time frame isn’t concrete as there are exceptions depending on your circumstances. The best way to find out whether you can claim an entitlement is to speak with one of our specialist lawyers.

To make a successful claim your solicitor must prove that someone else is responsible.

How long does a claim take?

Usually, cases can take about 36 months to settle. Minor vehicle mishap cases such as whiplash and soft tissue injuries can be finalised within 12 months. As a rule of thumb, the more serious the wounds are, the longer the claims process will be. For some serious circumstances, it’s common that they can take more than three years to settle.

How much can I get?

There is no one size fits all solution we can use when it comes to calculating your final settlement.

The amount owed to plaintiffs depends on the severity of their injuries and the state in which they suffered them.

Some of the main things a solicitor will consider when negotiating your entitlements will include.

  • Any time off work and lost earnings
  • Any future lost earnings
  • Any changes in your ability to work
  • Care or support, even if given to you for free by family or friends
  • Any adaptations you might need to your home or vehicle
  • Travel and accommodation expenses

At this stage it is impossible to give you an accurate estimation of what you could receive however, you can make your own assessment online, without having to speak to a lawyer using our online estimator.

How to find the best lawyer to act for you

Although a solicitor must be fully qualified to practice law, the level of skill and knowledge varies drastically. Lawyers specialise in lots of different areas of law. For example, someone could specialise in criminal law, while others someone else might specialise in tort law.

Choosing a lawyer with experience in cases like yours will ensure optimisation of your entitlements. We only work with the most experienced lawyers Newcastle has to offer and specialise in all areas of accident and injury compensation.

Do Newcastle claimants have to use a local law firm?

You don’t need to hire a lawyer in Newcastle to handle your claim. With many lawyers now servicing the whole country, it is no longer necessary to choose a local law firm. However, if you do hire a national firm, find out first whether they are partnered with medical centres in Newcastle before you begin. This is because you will be required to have a medical to get your injuries assessed.
