What injuries can I claim for?
You do not have to sustain a serious injury to be entitled to compensation. You are entitled in law to be compensated for any injury arising out of a non-fault accident which you sustain which can include cuts, bruises, soft tissue injuries.

Is there a time limit on submitting a claim for personal injuries?
There is a statutory limit of three years from the date of the accident and a claim can be submitted at any stage during this period.

How long will a claim for personal injuries take to settle?
This will largely depend on the nature of the injury involved. Straightforward injuries should be resolved and settled within a twelve month period.

How is my claim funded?
We know that being involved in an accident is stressful enough and many people are put off by the cost of paying for specialist legal services but at Orbis Solicitors, we aim to take all the worry out of pursuing a claim for you. Any compensation you receive is 100% your own and unlike other law firms, we will never make any deductions from your damages to cover our fees.

Do I need to have reported my injuries to my GP or hospital?
It can be beneficial to have a written record of the injuries either at your GP or hospital but this is not essential. If you have not been to visit your GP or hospital it should not prevent you from presenting a claim.

Can I be compensated for losses other than injuries?
You are entitled to recover any loss which you incur as a result of an accident including damaged clothing, expenses and loss of earnings.
