Can you claim?

There are three questions to ask:-

(1) Did your accident happen within the last three years? ( children under 18 are treated differently and the 3 years only start from their 18th birthday)

(2) Did you sustain an injury that can be shown to have been caused by the negligence or omission of another party? Even if your own actions may have contributed to the accident happening, a claim may still exist.

(3) If the answer to the above questions is yes, will your injury attract a monetary award that makes the claim economic for you to pursue.

If you answer the first questions with a 'Yes', then you should seek legal advice regarding a possible claim. Once we have considered what injury has been sustained, we will be able to give an initial assessment to question 3. You can speak to us at no cost to yourself regarding this and then you are free to either take the matter further or leave things as they stand.

You are at no time obligated to instruct this firm whatever our initial advice to you has been. We believe it is important to give you the information that empowers you to make an informed decision as to what YOU want to do.

The vast majority of people who have sustained an injury through no fault of their own do not make a claim as they do not realise they can or are worried about the likely cost of taking it further by instructing a solicitor. Put simply, if there is not any legal basis or merit to your claim, it will not succeed and we will not pursue it for you.

The availability of no win-no fee agreements has assuaged fears of incurring large legal fees and Crosby & Moore Solicitors fully support the use of these as they have given access to justice to many people who would otherwise suffer in silence.
