An accident or an emergency can have a devastating impact on all aspects of 
your life. It can affect your health, your job or career and your finances. 
Whether you have been injured at work, or you have been in a road traffic 
accident that was not your fault you need to speak to solicitors Portsmouth 
and find out how they can help you make a personal injury claim. 
A personal injury claim is a formal process through which you can receive 
compensation from the third party, who is responsible for your injury. If you 
have been injured within the last three years then speak to solicitors 
Portsmouth today. You will probably be offered a free consultation in which 
you can discuss your circumstances and find out what options are available 
for you. Your solicitor can take up on your case on a ‘no win no fee’ basis. You 
will have to give your solicitors Portsmouth as much information as you can 
with regard to your claim and they will review this information and ask any 
additional questions where necessary. They will also book a medical review 
with an independent doctor to give evidence on your injuries. 
A personal injury claim can be made for pain and suffering, but other claims 
can include loss of earnings and future loss of earnings for those who will be 
unable to return to work for the foreseeable future. Alongside personal injury 
claims you can claim for other damages that have occurred in the accident, 
for example damage to your vehicle or work equipment. You may also have 
incurred travel costs and other expenses as a result of your accident or injury.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Your solicitors Portsmouth will put together all the available evidence and they 
will write a letter to the third party, or the defendant, outlining your claim. 
They will be informed that you believe that they are responsible for your 
injuries and then your solicitor will wait for a response. The defendant is 
usually given 21 days to submit their response. There are a few different 
possible outcomes from here. 
A positive outcome for you 
If your case is simple then the defendant will agree to the allegations and 
accept responsibility for your injuries. You will be given an offer of 
compensation which will be sent to your solicitors Portsmouth. You and your 
solicitors Portsmouth will discuss this amount and either you can accept the 
offer or you can ask your solicitors to negotiate for a better offer. Your 
solicitors Portsmouth will advise which is best for you according to your 
personal circumstances. Sometimes the defendant will not accept 
responsibility for your injuries or they will only accept partial liability for the 
injuries. Your solicitors Portsmouth will then issue court proceedings. This 
means that your case will be taken to court and a judge will decide on the 
final outcome. Most cases are settled without having to go to court, however, 
if it does then sometimes personal injury claims can take between 1 to 2 years 
to resolve, depending on the court’s schedule. 
 
 
 
 
Speak to your solicitors Portsmouth today to find out more about making a 
personal injury claim and leave your case in their experienced and specialist 
hands so that you can focus on getting your life back on track again very soon. 
It is uncertain at this time if the law surrounding upskirting is going to change; 
as mentioned before, the law and sentencing surrounding this offence came 
into effect quite recently (12 April 2019) and so, any changes may take time 
to implement.
