What is a personal injury?
A personal injury is a physical or psychological harm caused to an individual because of someone else’s negligence, intentional actions, or strict liability. It can include serious injuries from car accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, and more.
A personal injury can be sustained at work, while travelling, playing sport or enjoying a leisure activity. No matter what the cause, we will help you rebuild your life. And, if a member of your family has been fatally injured, we will fight for compensation and represent you if there’s an inquest.

How long do you have to make a personal injury claim?
Typically, the law allows three years from the date of the injury or date you become aware of the injury to make a claim. However, exceptions can apply, and time limits may vary depending on the circumstances. Our specialist personal injury solicitors will provide a clear understanding of your specific timeframe, ensuring you don’t miss the chance to claim the compensation you deserve.

Serious personal injuries can occur in various scenarios, including road traffic accidents, workplace incidents, medical negligence, and other traumatic events. Our experienced personal injury lawyers have extensive expertise in these areas, positioning us ideally to handle a broad spectrum of serious injury cases.

What is the process for a personal injury claim?
Starting a personal injury compensation claim can seem overwhelming, but our expert team at Moore Barlow will guide you through every step. The process typically begins with a consultation, where we assess the viability of your case. We then gather necessary evidence, negotiate with the opposition, and if needed, we’ll fight for your rights in court. With Moore Barlow, you’re backed by a team committed to delivering the best possible outcome for you.
How long does a personal injury claim take?
A personal injury claim’s duration can vary widely based on case complexity, the parties involved, and the evidence presented. While some claims may settle in a few months, others, especially those involving significant injuries or disputes, can take years to resolve.
Our personal injury lawyers will ensure you’re aware of the expected time durations throughout the claims process and will work to reduce timescales where possible.
Can I make a no win, no fee claim?
Yes. Your personal injury claim can be funded through various methods, including a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), commonly known as a “No Win, No Fee” arrangement. With a CFA, you won’t pay any legal fees upfront, and you’ll only be charged any applicable fees if your claim is successful.
Other funding options might include legal expense insurance, trade union funding, or private funding, depending on your individual circumstances. It’s essential to discuss your funding options with your solicitor to determine the best approach tailored to your situation.
Our personal injury insights
Can I make a personal injury claim on behalf of someone else?
Yes, in circumstances where an individual is unable to make a claim due to their injuries or age, a ‘litigation friend’ can make a claim on their behalf. We have vast experience in these types of claims, and we’re here to help you understand your rights and obligations in this role.
You can make a claim on behalf of someone else in the following circumstances:
- On behalf of minors: You can claim for a child who suffered an injury in an accident before turning 18.
- For those without mental capacity: Claims can be made for individuals lacking the mental capacity to pursue their own case.
- For those who have passed away: If a loved one has passed away due to another’s negligence, representatives can make a claim to:
- Seek compensation for pain, suffering, financial loss (dependency and services), and funeral expenses.
- Obtain representation at inquests.
- Access inheritance not specified in the deceased’s Will.
- Seek clarity on the events leading to the loved one’s demise.
Can you help with support for rehabilitation and medical care?
At Moore Barlow, our support extends beyond legal advice. As you look to the future, in addition to pursuing compensation, we can provide guidance and access to rehabilitation services and medical care, ensuring you get the comprehensive support needed.
We provide a holistic approach to our service, considering the significant personal and financial impacts of your serious injuries. If you are no longer able to work, you could need employment, mortgage, and debt advice. If, sadly, your child has been seriously injured, they will need support for their special education needs. We can help provide support and access in all these areas.
Additionally, you will probably want help almost straight away, and we make this a priority. Early treatment can make a significant difference to your future health, so we will push hard to quickly secure interim payments to directly fund your rehabilitation.
