What is a Personal Injury Claim?

A personal injury claim is the legal action of seeking compensation when negligence causes you harm, giving you the opportunity to secure compensation that reflects both the immediate and long-term impact of your accident. Crucially, it goes beyond the injury itself, aiming to cover the wider consequences that follow. These consequences could include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and lost income, but also the potential effect on your independence, your family responsibilities, and your future prospects.

In Sale, our solicitors build each case carefully by gathering medical records, expert reports, and witness evidence, so that we can meticulously present the full picture of what you’ve been through. This evidence is used to negotiate with insurers or, if necessary, to present your case in court. Whatever the circumstances of your case, we always focus on securing a settlement that addresses the injury and the changes it’s caused to your life.

What are the common causes of serious injury claims?

Serious injury claims can result from a wide range of circumstances, including:

• Road traffic accidents (drivers, passengers, cyclists, pedestrians, motorcyclists, e-scooter riders, and public transport users)
• Accidents at work (falls from height, machinery accidents, industrial disease, asbestos exposure)
• Medical negligence (surgical mistakes, misdiagnosis, prescription errors, birth injuries)
• Serious slips, trips, and falls in public places
• Sporting accidents and recreational injuries
• Fatal accidents resulting in claims for families and dependants

Each of these situations can have a lasting impact on your health, your livelihood, and your family life, and our Sale solicitors understand that as well as anyone else here at Slater Heelis – which is why we’re so focused on getting you the compensation you deserve.

When do you need a personal injury lawyer in Sale?

You may well need a personal injury lawyer in Sale when the consequences of your accident start to affect your work, your income, your treatment, your care needs, your family responsibilities, or your long-term future. These are the moments when experienced legal support can make all the difference – ensuring that there’s full recognition of what you’ve lost and what you still need.

We make sure that your case takes into account the full impact of what’s happened , from your immediate requirements to the long-term adjustments that may be necessary. Our team can arrange rehabilitation, pursue interim payments to cover urgent costs, and work to secure the compensation that gives you and your family stability and security.

Your injury may be classified as serious if it:

• Requires long-term or ongoing medical treatment
• Results in permanent disability or reduced mobility
• Involves a traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury
• Leads to amputation or significant loss of function
• Causes severe burns, scarring, or disfigurement
• Results in the loss of sight or hearing
• Has long-term psychological effects such as PTSD
• Has a major impact on your family life or ability to work

Can I make a serious personal injury claim?

If you’ve been injured because someone else failed in their duty of care, you may be entitled to make a serious personal injury claim. That applies whether the negligence occurred on the road, in the workplace, in a healthcare setting, or in a public place.

You may be awarded compensation that can provide for your treatment and rehabilitation, replace lost earnings, and cover the costs of care, equipment, or adaptations that help you live your life after injury. The amount depends on the type of injury, how serious it is, and the effect it has had – and will continue to have – on your daily life and financial situation.

It’s important to note that time limits do apply. In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident, or from the point when you realised your injury was linked to negligence. There are exceptions for children and for people without mental capacity, so it’s always advisable to seek advice as early as possible to ensure your options remain open.
