Limitation period
British law recognizes the possibility to claim for Health Damages (Personal Injury) through the courts for up to a maximum of three years after the accident. However in practice it is extremely difficult to win a case when it is close to being three years after the accident, because there is a high risk that the opposing party will be doing everything to delay the matter as much as possible, thus leading to its limitation period. In every case, it is always best to seek legal advice at the earliest opportunity, when events are still fresh in your mind and information is easily available. Pursuing your case may be more difficult if the accident occurred a long time ago.
Lack of sufficient evidence
On the basis of information supplied by you our solicitors will make a decision based on your chances of winning, if your case were to ever go to court. If your chances are below 51% due to the fact that there is not enough evidence to back up your end of the story, then your case will not be accepted.
Small value of damages
If the total value of your compensation is less than £1,000 the Court will consider this as a minor claim which will mean that the opposing party will not cover our expenses, so the legal office will not be able to offer you a contract of ‘no win no fee’
