If you have suffered an injury that was not your fault and have suffered pain or financial loss as a consequence, personal injury law exists for you to attempt to claim some kind of financial recompense. It is important to note that this area of law is not in place to mirror that American sue or be sued culture and that any claim you bring is completely valid and justified.
First and foremost, you would need to approach a reputable firm of solicitors that specialise in this area of law (e.g. an actos lawyer ). They will run through the details of your claim and advise you almost immediately whether you have a realistic chance of winning the case.
If your case does not look to be strong enough, it is less likely that you will be able to secure a payment basis of no win no fee. However, if a solicitor feels that you have a good chance in court, you should be able to rely on this excellent term.
The next criterion that you need to consider is who was responsible for the personal injury. You have to be realistic here. If that culpable person does not have two pennies to rub together - you cannot get blood out of a stone - therefore there would be no point in bringing a claim against them.
Alas, it all boils down to the potential funds that would be available to pay your costs and compensation. That is why public bodies and companies are usually the most likely to see civil action brought against them in this way.
