Paul Thomas

Very helpful, explained everything clearly and went through everything with me over the phone. Very thoughtful and pleasant to chat to.

Gemma Carr

There first response to my claim has been excellent and much quicker than I thought. My car was collected on the same day as the accident and the courtesy car organised and dropped off 11am the next day. Any emails I’ve sent have been replied to on the same day and calls answered very quick without the need to stay on hold for a long time.
This is the 2nd time I have used Winn solicitors and would definitely use them again and I would recommend highly.

How much compensation can I receive for personal injury claims in London?

The monetary value of a personal injury claim settlement is highly variable, and, in fact, depends on a number of factors. There is no standard amount, but your compensation total will take into account any time that you have been unable to work, any expenses related to your injuries (such as the purchase of special equipment, necessary home alterations, and transport costs). The severity of your injuries and future impact on your life will also be factored in.

Your Winns claims handler will be able to give you a better overview of what is likely to be included when generating your settlement amount. 

How to make accident claims in London

Can you make a claim?

If you have been injured in an accident that was not your fault then you can make a claim. Your Winns advisor will be able to give you more information, but be aware that there is a three-year time limit in which to launch a claim in the majority of cases. If you try and claim after three years (either of the incident, or of medical symptoms presenting) then your case will be time-locked and you will be ineligible for a settlement.

How to make a claim?

If you have been involved in a situation where you think you deserve compensation, then there are a few steps that you can take to help strengthen a future claim. Firstly, take photographs of the scene, and ask anyone who saw what happened if they would commit to making a witness statement. You should also report the incident to a relevant individual (such as your boss if at work, or a building manager/council representative). You should also seek medical attention to assess your injury. As well as helping you get the treatment you need, a doctor's notes can be valuable evidence for your claim.

Finally, you should always contact Winns to handle your claim. We take the stress out of the process, taking care of the claim every step of the way until a settlement is reached.

Who can make a claim?

Anyone who has been injured through no fault of their own can make a claim. That includes drivers, passengers, pedestrians, employees, patients and anyone who happens to come to harm in a public or privately owned space where they would have a reasonable expectation of safety. Those include areas without adequate safety equipment or signage, or places that have fallen into a dangerous state of disrepair.

Who do I make the claim against?

That depends on the type of personal injury. If you are involved in a motoring accident, then you will claim against the at-fault party and their insurance. If you, let's say, fall in a public place due to a badly maintained pavement then it will be the council. Likewise, an accident on private grounds, or in a private building, will be against whoever owns and maintains them. An accident at work, meanwhile, will see you making a claim against your employer, with the money coming from their Employer's Liability Insurance.

What is a public liability claim?

This is the type of claim that would apply if you were to have an accident in a public place that resulted in your injury. As long as the accident wasn't your fault, you may be eligible for personal injury compensation from whoever owns, or is responsible for, the setting where the incident took place.

What are common public liability claims?

These can include slips, trips, or falls in public places that cause injury to you. Items falling on you or wet surfaces leading you to slip over are just a couple of examples of a common public liability claim scenario. Discuss your circumstances with our team to see if you're eligible.

Does public liability include personal injury?

Public liability is a form of insurance for all companies, across different sectors, that covers them in the eventuality of an accident on site. Personal injury compensation is part of a public liability claim. If you have suffered an injury as a result of a non-fault accident in a public place then you may be eligible to start a public liability claim.

Michael was very helpful, thorough out and knew his craft. When the market is flooded with 'injury lawyers' it's good to speak to someone and they provide you with information you require and reassure you. Good stuff and recommended!

Scott Blackman

Winn Solicitors have been very helpful at every stage of the process. I was blown away at how fast they got me a courtesy car (within hours of my accident) and the care and treatment I received from On Medical (physio therapy company) was fantastic. I had quite a unique pain set and, which my physio worked through to ensure I got better as quickly as possible. Overall they have communicated really well and kept me informed at every stage. I would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and family should the need arise.

I went through Winn Solicitors as they seemed to be a reputable company who would be able to resolve my case. My case was quite trying and very long however I was helped through the process by Comfort Chingarande. Comfort was exceptional throughout and kept me constantly updated throughout the process. Whenever I needed an update or question answered he was on hand to inform me within a timely manner. If anyone uses Winn Solicitors I hope they get Comfort working on their case. Can't thank him enough for his efforts.
