Over three million people are injured in accidents each year – at home, in their cars, at work, or outdoors. In many cases, someone else or something else is at fault and the accident victims have a right to compensation.

Although personal injury law is complicated, with the help of our experience the process of making a claim can be quite straightforward. Kerwoods offer a free initial consultation and will be able to tell you if you have a justifiable claim. We are also pleased to say that Janet Thompson is on the Law Society's Personal Injury Panel and is a member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers and has many years of experience in assisting victims.

What we need from you:
To establish the details of your case, we will need to know:

• the date of the accident and where and how it happened;
• the contact details for any witnesses;
• the details of your injuries, medical diagnosis and treatment;
  and
• whether you are a member of a trade union, as this may entitle you to the cost of legal representation.

We may also need to see:

• proof of your loss of earnings and other financial expenses which are the result of your injury;
• documents relating to any insurance policies you have (such as household or motor insurance) to check whether these will cover the legal costs of your claim; and
• any documents that can be used to support your claim, including documents from before your accident or any evidence of previous accidents in similar circumstances.

How we can help
Once you have explained the circumstances of your injury in detail, we will be able to judge:

• how likely your case is to succeed; and
• how much you might be able to claim in compensation.
