Accidents on the Road 

Car accidents can cause short or long-term injuries and have a devastating impact on those involved. If you or a loved one has been involved in a car accident that wasn’t your fault, you should speak with a member of our team. We often encounter causes such as reckless driving and poor quality roads which have led to easily prevented incidents. We help residents of Derby and the rest of the UK every day. Please contact us today to discuss the specific details of your potential claim.

Medical Negligence Cases 

We often trust medical professionals with our health and wellbeing. In some cases this trust is undermined due to negligent care by a specialist or organisation. This is where we can support you. Our lawyers have dealt with various medical negligence claims, for example: misdiagnosis and cosmetic surgery-related injuries. We can discuss the specifics of your potential claim and guide you through the legal process to secure the compensation you deserve.

Personal Injury Cases 

If you have visited a public place, e.g. a shopping mall or cinema, and have suffered from an accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to claim. Most public places must meet basic regulatory safety standards. If the owner or organisation has failed to take precautions to meet these standards then they could be liable for your injury.

How much compensation am I owed?   

Compensation must be decided on an individual basis because the specifics of each accident and resulting injury are also unique. The extent of your injuries and whether your injuries have caused you financial losses – such as being unable to return to work – are taken into account when calculating compensation.   

While compensation is unique, there are general estimates of how much clients will usually receive for a specific type of injury. To calculate how much compensation you could be owed, use our compensation calculator.   

How do I make a claim?   

At first, you must provide some initial details about your accident in Derby – such as the date it occurred and where it happened. 

Medical notes, photographs of the accident scene, or any other information that you collected or produced at the time of or relating to your accident will become crucial evidence in your case. Therefore, it is important and useful to keep any evidence – such as journal entries or text messages – relating to your case safe so that it can later be used to claim compensation. If you are sent for further medical assessment, this will take place at doctors near to you in Derby as you should not be inconvenienced when trying to make a claim.
