Making a personal injury claim will help ease yours and your family’s financial burden which is especially important in cases involving serious or life changing injuries such a brain or spinal injury, loss of limb or severe orthopaedic injury, where long term care and assistance, ongoing therapy and treatment, aids and equipment or adapted vehicle and housing may be required.

If you have been seriously injured as a result of somebody else’s negligence, we can help you claim compensation.
Depending on the circumstances of your accident and the severity of your injury, we may also be able to help you claim compensation in cases where:
You can make a personal injury claim for:
Partner, Personal Injury
We will take a statement from you and any witnesses regarding the circumstances of your accident and gather evidence such as police reports, health and safety reports and accident reports at work or in a public place. If necessary, we will obtain expert evidence relating to your accident such as engineering evidence.
This will help us to advise you whether you have a claim against your opponent, and if so, we will gather your medical records and instruct appropriate medical experts to advise on how your injuries were caused and the nature and extent of your injuries.
We will gather details of your financial losses from you and advise you on the value of your claim. We may discuss the possibility of trying to settle your claim by way of negotiation. The majority of cases are settled by negotiation. Very few ever get to trial. Where we do end up going to Court, each step of the process will be fully explained to you beforehand and we will continue to support and advise you throughout.
Every claim is different, but on average our serious injury claims are concluded within 2-3 years of instruction depending on whether your opponent admits liability and/or the severity and complexity of your injury and recovery. In serious injury cases involving children (usually brain or spinal cord injury), it can take many years to reach a stage where the long term medical outcome is known.
An initial interview is always provided free of charge. In serious injury cases, we often visit our clients in hospital or at their home if they are unable to get to our offices. At the meeting we will discuss how to fund the claim. We have a number of funding options available, all of which ensure you will have nothing to pay if your case is unsuccessful. In the majority of cases, we can act under a Conditional Fee Agreement (“no win no fee”).
In personal injury claims you have 3 years from the date of accident or injury (or date of knowledge that the accident caused the injury), within which to issue court proceedings, unless you are a child or a person lacking mental capacity. In the case of a child, the 3 year limitation period starts to run on your 18th birthday and proceedings must be issued by your 21st birthday. In the case of a person lacking mental capacity as a result of their accident, the 3 year limitation period starts to run when their mental incapacity ceases.
However, there are some circumstances where exceptions can be made, so please do contact us so that we can advise you appropriately.

I’ve been very lucky to have Martin & Roshni collaborate to help me when I needed a solicitor to takeover from a very horrible accident. They both are very caring, professional and succeeded getting the best outcome in my case. This is the second time in using this solicitor’s firm and always the same high standard service.
I came to Boyes Turner desperate after searching the web for a firm to use for my sons case. He was only a few months so my mind was all over the place, but from the very first point of contact I felt a sense of relieve and belonging. I was welcomed and looked after by amazing staff who always communicated everything so well and went the extra mile to explain things and ensure I understood what was happening every step of the way (THANK YOU SUSAN BROWN). Susan was amazing I felt like I not only had a solicitor but someone who understood my emotions as a mother and always handled me with so much compassion and that was all I needed to keep me going for the 6 years of the case. Years went by in a breeze because of how professional Boyes Turner was. I am so grateful I went through it all with them and mananged to get my son a good compensation. We look forward our new life where my sons needs are priority after struggling for so long. Thank you Boyes Turner and thank you Susan Brown. My family and I are ever indebted.
