What Is An Accident Claims Solicitor Covering Shoreham-by-Sea?
If you have been injured in an accident that was caused by negligence on the part of someone else, you could potentially be entitled to sue the negligent party for compensation if it can be proven that they are liable and that they breached their duty of care towards you.

An accident claims solicitor is a legal professional that handles compensation claims, in the field of personal injury law, on behalf of injured persons.

Victims of violent crimes may be able to claim compensation, whether the culprit was caught or not, from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority. The CICA is a Government-run agency that allows those who have been affected by violent crime to claim for damages or compensation.
Claim Compensation After Public Place Injuries And Accidents
A public liability claim is a compensation claim for an accident in a public place such as a park, pedestrianised shopping centre, supermarket, gym, literally anywhere you can go as a member of the public without a prior invitation. They are usually made against a local council or private company or business that manages the space. If you have been injured in a public place in Shoreham-on-Sea because of an accident that was not your fault, call us today to find out your eligibility to make a claim and who may be liable for your accident.
Medical Malpractice Compensation Cases
Medical malpractice, also known as medical negligence or clinical negligence is when a medical practitioner such as a dentist, doctor or nurse provides a patient with substandard care causing them to suffer unnecessarily. If the patient is avoidably injured because of medical negligence, as long as it can be proven that a medical practitioner has acted in a negligent way then there may be cause for a medical negligence claim. Whether you were injured because of negligence on the part of a doctor, nurse, dentist or another medical professional, call us today to see if you are entitled to claim.

Questions And Answers
Providing answers to questions commonly asked by accident victims.
Q: How are personal injury claims valued?
A: As every case of personal injury is different, claims must be valued individually, based on their unique details. There are typically two different types of damage that make up a personal injury payout; general damages and special damages. General damages account for your injuries, both physical and psychological, that you suffered as a result of your accident. On the other hand, special damages account for the tangible losses that you’ve incurred in relation to your injuries, such as medical expenses or loss of income. If you can prove that you suffered these financial losses, which can be done by retaining receipts and the like, you could be able to recover them as part of your personal injury claim.
Q: How long do I have to make a personal injury claim within the time limit?
A: If you had an accident within the last 3 years that you’d like to make a personal injury claim for, it’s likely that you’re still within the time limit to do so. In general, claimants have 3 years from the date of their accident to make a claim. If they try to claim once this time limit has already expired, they may not be able to do so. In some cases, exceptions can be made to this 3-year limitation period, however. For example, if you believed your injuries were your own fault but recently realised that they were the result of your employer’s negligence, 3 years may have already passed. However, in this case, the claims time limit could begin from the date of this knowledge rather than the date of your accident, meaning you would have 3 years from the date that you realised third-party liability. To see if you’re within the relevant time limit to make a claim, please get in touch for a complimentary consultation today.
Q: How Do I Make An Accident Claim?
A: Our panel of accident claims solicitors Shoreham By Sea have a broad range of expertise handling personal injury claims, so we’re bound to find a personal injury solicitor with the right sort of experience to handle your personal injury claim.
Q: Do Claims Need To Be Made With Local Injury Solicitors?
A: No. Accident Claims UK operates a nationwide service, which means that our solicitors can cover much of the country. Many people believe they have to use a “solicitor near me” to handle their claim, however, some personal injury claims are handled remotely using the phone and email these days. Therefore, it is not always necessary to use a “solicitor near me” to handle your claim.
Q: Will A Doctor Look At My Injuries
A: If you have been injured or made ill because of negligence, or any other type of accident caused by negligence, you will need a medical assessment to make a full negligence claim. During your medical assessment, a doctor will create a medical report where they could diagnose your injuries, prescribe what medical treatment you will need going forward and will explain what ongoing effect your injuries are likely to have on your future quality of life if any. Your accident claims solicitor will use the medical report to value your claim.
Q: Where Will I See A Doctor?
A: Accident Claims UK works with a panel of trusted physicians in your local area. We will arrange for you to see one of these physicians (listed below) for your medical assessment or another depending on availability.
