We share our knowledge and many years of experience to help you understand the key aspects of British law. In our guides, we explain complex procedures in a simple way and advise on what steps to take in difficult situations.
From the experience of our team and collaborating solicitors, we know that every case requires an individual approach. Accidents happen suddenly and are often the result of other people's wrong decisions, or negligence by employers or institutions. In such situations, it is worth pursuing your rights and the compensation you are entitled to, with the support of a solicitor.
At AMS Solicitors, we perfectly understand that the period after an accident is exceptionally difficult. Physical injuries and the inability to work are mentally and financially draining. Every day, we handle cases of people injured in various circumstances – in road traffic accidents, at work, in public spaces, and as a result of medical errors. The help of a solicitor makes the entire process clearer and easier to navigate.
To be able to claim compensation, several conditions must be met:
Our extensive experience is reflected in our history of successful cases. We approach each case with full commitment, utilising our knowledge and experience.
It is also important to have the details of the at-fault party:
The amount of compensation depends on many factors. In addition to physical injuries, the costs of treatment, travel for rehabilitation, lost earnings, and other expenses are also taken into account. The amount of the benefit is often a matter of negotiation, as the defendant usually tries to reduce it. A solicitor acts in the interest of the injured party and strives for the best possible terms.
In the UK, courts use official tables that specify the ranges of compensation depending on the scale of injuries. These categories include minor, moderate, serious, and severe injuries. Based on the evidence presented in the case, the solicitor will estimate the amount that can be awarded.
The length of time a case takes depends on its nature. Simpler cases are concluded in a few months, but typically it takes from 6 to 18 months. For serious injuries or problems in establishing fault, the process can be longer. There is also the possibility of obtaining a partial payment while the case is ongoing (interim payment), which is later deducted from the final amount. It is comforting that most cases in the UK are settled out of court.
AMS Solicitors operates on a “No Win – No Fee” system. This means that if the case is not successful, the client does not incur costs. The standard success fee is 25% of the awarded compensation and is not higher. Additional fees may only arise in situations where the client does not cooperate with the solicitor – e.g., avoids contact or provides false information.
An accident, especially abroad, is a stressful and often disorienting experience. In such a situation, you should:
