Making a compensation claim with Accident Consultant means you are making a claim in a no risk situation. Here at Accident Consultant we have a team of highly experienced and trained solicitors, ensuring that your claim is handled in a friendly and efficient way.

When you make a compensation claim with Accident Consultant you are doing so in a confidential manner. All of the details that you provide us with to make your compensation claim are highly protected and not shared with anyone. Also as we work on a no win no fee agreement you keep 100% of the compensation you are awarded in a successful claim.

No win no fee agreements came into effect in 1998 and have revolutionised the way in which people can put in a claim for compensation.

are no longer restricted to people who could afford them; they are now open to everyone as they cost nothing to claim and you have nothing to pay if your claim is unsuccessful.

As well as money worries, many people who want to claim for compensation don’t end up putting in for a claim as they think it will involve court battles. In reality only a small handful of cases, if that end up going to court. 90% of all the compensation claims that are made are settled outside of court. This is mainly down to the fact that the costs involved in court cases are incredibly high and in cases with overwhelming evidence it is highly unlikely that the opponent’s defendant will risk a court hearing.

When it comes to the time you have to make a compensation claim there are limitations as to the length of time that you have to make a claim. This time limit in most cases is three years; meaning that if you tired to make a compensation claim after this three year period it is highly unlikely to be successful. There are however exceptions to this rule, for example in the case of a child who has suffered injury through no fault of their own the three year limitation will begin on the day of their 18th birthday. In industrial disease cases, the normal three-year time limit will only start when you first became aware that the injury or illness that you are suffering is due to an industrial disease; this time limitation is known as the date of knowledge. Criminal injury matters have a time limit of two years and compensation claims that are made following an accident abroad are likely to have different limitation periods.

Compensation claims can be made by anyone whose life has been affected by an accident that was caused through no fault of their own. If an injury or illness that was directly caused by an accident due to the negligence of another person has left you out of work or has left you unable to get on with your life in a normal manner then you are likely to have the basis for a successful compensation claim.
