Leg Injury Claim
Leg injuries can be quite disabling and leave you dependent on the help and support of family and friends to carry out even the smallest of tasks, which can become quite challenging for someone who has suffered a leg injury.
We have recovered thousands of pounds in compensation for many victims who have suffered a leg injury due to someone else's negligence, including injuries such as:
- Broken bones
- Fractures and cuts
- Amputation
- Thigh injuries
- Ankle injuries
- Foot injuries
- Achilles tendon damage
- Ligament damage
If you have suffered a leg injury in the last three years due to someone else's negligence, you are entitled to make a claim for compensation.
How to make a leg injury claim<
At PHC Law, we offer a No Win No Fee legal service which means that you do not have to pay any legal fees, whether you win or lose.
We will access your claim and advise how much compensation you may be entitled to. However, for your claim to be successful you will need to have received medical treatment or attended a medical establishment and provide as much evidence as you can to prove that a third party is liable for your injury.
- Photographic evidence.
- Independent eye witness statements.
- The contact details for your GP, or the hospital that you attended.
- Photographic evidence of the accident scene.
- If the accident was reported to any other party, for example the police, make sure you provide your solicitor with their contact details.
- Any copies of any medical documents.
- Any receipts of any medical treatment or physiotherapy you have received.
Are all considered vital pieces of information that will support your case.
If the accident happened while at work, this will need to have been recorded in the Accident At Work book or to another member of staff; for example, a supervisor, the person responsible for health and safety or a manager.
Similarly, if the accident happened in a public place, such as a local supermarket, the same requirements would apply.
Little or not enough evidence to support your claim may result in your case being rejected. It is important that you discuss the extent of your injury and the effect it has on your day-to-day lifestyle and provide as much evidence as you can to support your claim. Your solicitor will then be able to establish the amount of compensation that you are entitled to and will start proceedings. Our commitment to every client is to recover the maximum amount of compensation that you deserve.
How much compensation can I expect to receive for my leg injury claim?
The amount of compensation that you will receive will be based on two main factors that your solicitor will take into account: 'general damages' and 'special damages'.
'General damages' is the amount of compensation that you are entitled to for the pain and suffering that your injury has caused you and the length of time needed to recover.
'Special damages' is the amount of compensation that you will receive for any financial loss, future losses and other expenses that you have incurred as a result of your accident.
