When you first call us, we’ll hold an initial discussion where we will ask you questions about your circumstances and explain how we’ll be able to help you.

If you decide to make a claim with us, we’ll then move on to the next step of gathering evidence and building your argument. This is an essential part of the process and we may need your help to gather certain information, such as medical records and photos of your injuries. We’ll work to make sure that this is as simple for you as possible so you can continue to focus on your recovery.

Once we’re confident that we have built a strong case for you, we’ll approach the party responsible for your injuries - known as the defendant - to inform them that a case is being made against them.

The defendant will then need to respond to the claim. They may accept the claim and we’ll negotiate your compensation amount with them and their insurer. However, there is a chance that the defendant will dispute your claim, and court proceedings may become necessary.

Most compensation is claimed through negotiation. If your claim needs to go to court, you can be confident we will represent your interests and use our decades of experience to defend your rights.

Once your claim is successful, we’ll make sure your compensation is paid in a timely manner.

You can make a claim for minor cuts and bruises if they were caused by someone else’s negligence. While the severity of the injury may affect the amount of compensation you receive, even minor injuries can still disrupt your daily life and cause pain, discomfort or inconvenience. 

Compensation may also cover any related costs, such as medical treatment, loss of income, or other expenses incurred due to the injury. Our team will assess your case and guide you on the likelihood of success based on the specific circumstances of your injury.

You may be eligible to claim compensation for cuts and bruises if:

• The injury was caused by someone else’s negligence or failure to follow safety protocols.
• The incident occurred within the legal time limit for making a claim (usually three years in personal injury cases, though exceptions may apply).
• You suffered physical or emotional harm as a result of the injury.

Our team will review the details of your case to confirm whether you meet the eligibility criteria and help you move forward with your claim.

To support a claim for cuts and bruises, you should gather the following evidence:

• Photographs of your injuries and the location where the accident took place.
• Medical records documenting your injuries and any treatment received.
• Witness statements from anyone who saw the incident occur.
• Accident reports, such as workplace reports or incident logs, if the injury occurred in a public place or at work.
• Financial records showing any costs incurred due to the injury, such as medical bills, travel expenses, or loss of earnings.

Providing comprehensive evidence will help strengthen your case and improve your chances of receiving fair compensation.

The amount of compensation you could receive for cuts and bruises depends on several factors, including:

• The severity of your injuries and the impact they’ve had on your life.
• Any medical expenses you’ve incurred.
• Loss of income due to time off work.
• Emotional distress and pain caused by the injury.

Compensation for minor injuries may be lower, but other factors, such as financial losses or long-term effects, can increase the amount. Our team will provide a more accurate estimate based on the specifics of your case.

Most cuts and bruises compensation claims are settled out of court through negotiation with the other party or their insurance provider. However, if the other party disputes liability or a fair settlement cannot be reached, the case may need to go to court.

If this happens, we will handle the entire process for you and represent your best interests in court, ensuring your case is presented effectively.

Yes, if a child or someone lacking mental capacity has suffered cuts and bruises due to someone else's negligence, you can make a claim on their behalf. You would act as their "litigation friend," which means you can pursue the claim and make decisions on their behalf. 

There are different time limits for these claims; for children, the three-year limit starts when they turn 18, and for those lacking capacity, the limit may not apply until they regain capacity (if applicable).

With a “no win, no fee” arrangement, also known as a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), you won’t need to pay any legal fees upfront.

If your claim is unsuccessful, you won’t be responsible for our legal fees. If you win, we will deduct a pre-agreed percentage of your compensation to cover the costs. This arrangement reduces your financial risk, as you only pay if your claim is successful. 

Before starting the claim, we will explain all the details of the agreement to ensure you’re fully informed and comfortable with the process.
