For all other claims, you are welcome to make an enquiry via our website or our contact centre for information which may assist your friend/relative who has been involved in an accident.

There are several things you can do to help support your case if you have been injured or been involved in an accident and feel you may be entitled to make a claim:

• Gather photographic evidence: clear pictures of the accident area can be really helpful although it may not always be possible
• Obtain witness statements: these help us build your claim
• Record any injury details and/or symptoms: This will support any medical evidence and show the rate of your recovery.
• Record any financial losses: This includes any expenses you’ve personally made as a direct result of your injury.
• Household Assistance & Adaptations

If you have been injured at the workplace then you should also:

• Ask for help: A trusted colleague or your trade union representative can help you sort things out.

In some types of situations, one or another party can be at partial fault. If you think this might be the case, we advise you to contact us for a free consultation where we will distinguish your chances to claim.

Claims 24 work on a no-win – no-fee basis.
No win, No fee is a risk-free way of getting compensation for an injury or illness that wasn’t your fault.
It means there are no upfront costs, and there are no legal fees to be paid in the unlikely event that your claim is unsuccessful.

If you win your claim, we may make the following deductions:

• A success fee of between 25% for winning – could be more in some cases
• The solicitor’s fee if this is unrecoverable – this is usually capped to a success fee
• The 3rd party insurers normally cover all legal fees, disbursements and expenses but if there is a shortfall, then this may be deducted from your compensation as a success fee usually capped at 25%

We believe there should be no surprises when making a claim with us, so anything you need to know when making a decision will be made clear from the get-go. Come and talk to us for free for impartial advice.
