While you are legally allowed to file a personal injury claim on your own in the UK, many people find the process complex and overwhelming. From gathering strong evidence and negotiating with insurers to understanding time limits and accurately valuing your claim, having a solicitor makes a huge difference.

A personal injury solicitor can:

  • Ensure all paperwork and deadlines are handled correctly.

  • Collect and present medical reports and witness statements effectively.

  • Negotiate with insurers to secure the maximum compensation.

  • Take your case to court if necessary.
