What should I do first after a road traffic accident in London?

After a road traffic accident in London, prioritise safety, seek medical treatment, and obtain evidence such as photos, witness details, and the police report. Contact a specialist personal injury solicitor promptly; they will explain fault, assess eligibility, and outline potential compensation and next steps.

What compensation can I claim for a workplace injury?

Compensation for a workplace injury may cover medical costs, loss of earnings, care and rehabilitation, and pain suffering where applicable. Your claim depends on injury severity, impact on daily life, and employer responsibilities. A solicitor will quantify losses and advise on realistic settlement values.

How long do I have to start a personal injury claim in London?

Limitation periods vary by case, but typically you have three years from the date of injury to begin a claim. Some injuries may have different timelines, especially for minors or clinical negligence. Early legal advice helps protect your rights and maximise potential compensation.

Do I need a personal injury barrister for my case?

Many cases settle through solicitors, but some require specialist advocacy. A personal injury barrister can represent you in higher-value or complex disputes, particularly at trial. We assess each case to determine whether counsel, including a barrister, will improve prospects and outcomes.

What costs are involved in a personal injury claim in London?

Most personal injury claims operate on a no win, no fee basis, with success enabling recovery of legal costs from the other party where permissible. You should discuss conditional fee arrangements, disbursements, and potential future costs with your solicitor.

How do I prove fault in a road traffic accident claim?

Proving fault relies on robust evidence such as witness statements, CCTV, dashcam footage, accident reports, and expert analysis. Our team helps collect and present this information, establishing responsibility and supporting your claim for compensation for injuries and losses.

Will my personal injury claim affect my insurance premiums?

Typically, a personal injury claim does not directly affect your existing insurance premiums. However, insurers may review renewals or quotes in light of a claim, which could influence future policy terms. We provide practical guidance to minimise any financial impact.

What should I bring to my initial consultation?

Please bring medical records, accident reports, witness details, and a timeline of events. Also include correspondence with insurers, payslips if relevant, and details of losses or ongoing treatment. This information helps our lawyers assess eligibility and establish a strong initial strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to make a personal injury claim in London?

In England and Wales, you generally have three years from the date of the accident or the date you first knew of the injury. There are exceptions, especially for child claimants and disabled claimants.

Do I need a solicitor for a road traffic accident in London?

Most road traffic accident matters benefit from specialist representation. Aldwych Legal takes a senior-led approach, guiding you through liability and damages, and we work with a personal injury barrister when needed to secure robust evidence and persuasive quantum.

What compensation can I expect for a serious injury in London?

Damages cover care, rehabilitation, loss of earnings, and pain. In serious or catastrophic injuries, we quantify future needs and present values to ensure life-long support; cases consider treatment, adaptation, and support services specific to London living.

How is liability assessed in public liability claims in London?

Public liability claims hinge on occupier or local authority duty of care. We gather CCTV, incident reports, and medical records, then test negligence against London premises standards; our team coordinates expert evidence to establish breach, causation, and value.

If fault is admitted early, should I still pursue a claim?

Early fault admissions can help, but you should still secure formal evidence and medical assessments. We advise on liability accuracy, preserve records, and negotiate from a position of strength, with ongoing assessment of damages and settlement options.

For complex liability or high-value injuries, we appoint a personal injury barrister to advise on quantum and court procedure; at Aldwych Legal, senior solicitors coordinate the team, ensuring seamless advocacy when litigation becomes necessary.

Most claims in London are funded on a conditional fee basis (no win, no fee). There are usually no upfront fees; if successful, a proportion of damages may cover our costs. We explain terms clearly before you commit.

How long does a typical personal injury claim take in London?

Timelines vary; initial investigations, medical reports, and liability disputes influence pace. Most claims settle within 12–18 months; serious injuries or court proceedings can extend, requiring careful management by our senior-led team.

Should a website visitor seek to ascertain the nature of our establishment, Aldwych Legal, it becomes essential for us to clarify the intricacies of our professional classification. Aldwych Legal is a legal consultancy, not a traditional solicitors’ firm. As an international legal consultancy and legal support organisation, we position ourselves distinctly apart from the conventional categorisation of a regulated solicitors’ practice. It is of paramount importance to transparently disclose that Aldwych Legal’s operational framework and support services remain independent of regulatory supervision by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and the Bar Standards Board (BSB). Our multidisciplinary team consists of legally trained professionals who operate within the framework of unreserved legal activities permitted under the Legal Services Act 2007. Where a matter requires a reserved legal activity, we collaborate with, and where appropriate introduce clients to, carefully selected external solicitors and barristers from our professional network. These regulated practitioners operate under their own authorisation and regulatory obligations. Aldwych Legal continues to deliver high-calibre legal support, strategic advisory work, and comprehensive case preparation with the same diligence and rigour expected of any premier legal service provider, while maintaining full transparency regarding our regulatory status. For full details of our regulatory status and operating framework, please refer to our Legal Services Act 2007 page and our Terms & Conditions.
