At Hudgell Solicitors we pride ourselves on providing immediate support to our clients, which continues throughout all personal injury compensation claims to conclusion and beyond. This includes:

• Immediate practical help – Dealing with practical issues immediately at hand, from speaking to employers to signposting to charities and organisations able to offer support.
• Independent medical opinions – If required we will secure independent medical opinions of the injuries you suffered. This can be crucial in securing admissions of negligence.
• Financial assistance – We always seek to agree early interim payments with defendants to provide vital support required, such as for home adaptations or aids and equipment should you need them.
• Rehabilitation – We work with some of the country’s best case managers and rehabilitation experts who oversee complete packages of physical, psychological and physiotherapy support.
• Support with a long-term focus – We partner with financial experts to provide advice after settlement to make sure your compensation has the maximum positive, long-term impact.

As one of the UK’s leading personal injury compensation claims teams, our solicitors have decades of experience in succeeding in even the most complex of cases and will work to secure you the compensation you need to make the best recovery possible.

The amount you can expect to receive in personal injury compensation depends on your specific case details. Factors affecting your compensation can include the nature of your injury or illness, the impact the negligence has on your day to day health, your ability to work and your future health, including any long-term care.

Compensation damages may be awarded for:

• Pain and suffering caused.
• Loss of earnings and future loss of earnings (such as being at a disadvantage in the labour market / loss of employability and reduction in potential earnings).
• Cost of surgery or medical procedures required after the negligence.
• Adaptions required to your home to help with daily living.
• Costs of occupational therapy requirements, such as aids and appliances to assist with daily needs.
• Costs of current or future care.
• Travel expenses for medical appointments or equipment.

There is no set answer, however, our team are dedicated to securing interim compensation payments wherever possible, helping people overcome financial worries and cover the cost of much-needed treatment, rehabilitation and often home adaptations.

We have secured many six and seven-figure interim payments in the most serious of cases relating to life-long injuries, ensuring vital support is provided whilst legal proceedings continue.

Agreed settlements will need to be approved by court, but our expert personal injury solicitors will guide you through this process.

If aged 18 and over, you will typically have three years from the date that the accident occurred. For under-18s, there is no time limit. However, once a child reaches 18, the standard 3 year claim period comes into effect.

Personal injury claims rarely need to go to court and usually only do so in very complex cases.
