Our Personal Injury Claims Process

Assessing your personal injury claim

During your initial consultation, we will take the time to understand what happened, how it has impacted your life, and whether you may be eligible to pursue a Personal Injury claim in Cardiff.

We will assess:

• The circumstances surrounding the accident or incident
• Who may be legally responsible (liability)
• The nature and extent of your injuries, including how they have affected your daily life and ability to work
• How much time has passed since the incident (as there are strict time limits for bringing a claim)

If we believe you have a strong case, we will explain your legal rights clearly and guide you through the process. We will also talk you through your funding options, including No Win, No Fee agreements, so you can move forward with confidence.

Collecting evidence and building your claim

If you are comfortable moving to the next stage, we will begin gathering the evidence needed to support your Personal Injury claim. This may include:

• Accident or incident reports
• Photographs or CCTV footage
• Witness statements
• Medical records and treatment history
• Employer records, where the injury occurred in the workplace

We will also evaluate any financial losses you have experienced, such as lost earnings, travel expenses, or the cost of additional care. Our goal is to build a strong, well-supported case that clearly demonstrates how the injury happened and the effect it has had on your life.

Liaising with medical professionals

To fully support your personal injury claim in Cardiff, we will arrange for an assessment by an independent medical expert. Their role is to provide a comprehensive report outlining your injuries, your expected recovery, and any long-term or permanent effects.

If you are already receiving treatment, we will work closely with your current healthcare providers to gather the necessary medical evidence. We will also ensure that any ongoing care or rehabilitation needs are taken into account as part of your claim.

Drafting a Letter of Claim

With the evidence in place, we will formally notify the party responsible (the Defendant) by drafting and sending a Letter of Claim. This sets out:

• The circumstances of the incident
• Why we hold them responsible
• The nature of your injuries
• The financial losses and other damages being claimed

The Defendant is usually given a set period to acknowledge and respond to the letter. During this phase, we continue to monitor your medical recovery and gather any additional evidence as needed.

Receiving the Defendant’s response

The Defendant (or their insurer or legal team) will either accept liability or deny responsibility. If they accept liability, we will finalise any further evidence, medical or otherwise that is required before then being in a position to progress to settlement negotiations.

If liability is disputed, we will review their reasoning and, if appropriate, challenge it. This may involve obtaining further evidence or expert reports. We will keep you fully informed and discuss your options at every stage.

Negotiating with the Defendant

Our Personal Injury Lawyers are skilled negotiators who work hard to achieve the best possible outcome for you. Where liability is accepted, we will negotiate the value of your personal injury claim, including:

• Compensation for pain, suffering, and loss of amenity
• Reimbursement of financial losses
• Provision for future medical or care needs

Most personal injury claims are settled at this stage without the need for Court proceedings. We will only recommend Court action if it is necessary to secure a fair result.

Court proceedings

In some cases, Court proceedings are unavoidable, usually where the Defendant denies liability or refuses to offer a reasonable settlement. If this happens, we will guide you through the process and represent you at every stage.

We will:

• Prepare your case for Trial
• Instruct barristers and medical experts as needed
• Keep you updated and supported throughout

Even when a case proceeds to Court, settlement often occurs before the final hearing. Our aim is always to resolve matters as swiftly and positively as possible.

Personal Injury Claims Key Questions

What evidence do you need for a personal injury claim?

To support a personal injury claim, you will typically need medical records, photographs of injuries or the scene, witness statements, accident reports, and evidence of financial losses (e.g. payslips or receipts). In many cases, CTV footage may also be used as evidence.

Your Solicitor or Legal Advisor will help you gather evidence and build a strong case, improving your chances of a successful outcome.

How much could I receive for a personal injury compensation claim?

Compensation varies based on the severity of your injury, its impact on your life both now and for the future, and any financial losses you have suffered.

Claims may include general damages (for pain and suffering) and special damages (for out-of-pocket expenses such as lost earnings or medical treatment).

Once we have an understanding of your case, we will be able to provide an estimate.

How long does it take to settle a personal injury compensation claim?

Most personal injury claims settle within 6 to 12 months, but complex or contested cases can take longer.

Factors affecting timescales include the severity of the injury, whether liability is disputed, and how long it takes for medical recovery.

Claims involving Court proceedings or serious injuries may take up to two or more years to resolve.
