WHAT YOU CAN CLAIM

3 types of damages, explained plainly

Understand what you may be entitled to before you start. We break down each category in clear language, with no legal jargon.

Special damages

Recovery for financial losses like medical bills, lost earnings and travel costs directly caused by the claim.

Exemplary damages

Punitive awards for particularly serious wrongdoing. Rare, but they can be claimed in certain cases.

Interest on damages

You can also claim statutory interest on both general and special damages from when the loss occurred.

Aggravated damages

Additional compensation where the defendant's behaviour made the harm worse. Distinct from exemplary damages.

TIME LIMITS

A clear deadline check before you claim

Most contract and tort claims carry a six-year limit; personal injury claims run three years from the incident. Acting promptly protects your right to claim, and we'll confirm the exact date that applies to your circumstances during a free 15-minute consultation.

HOW WE GUIDE YOUR CLAIM

A clear path through the claims process

We walk you through each stage of a civil claim, explain what happens next, and keep things moving. No legal jargon, no surprises.

Pre-action protocol

We review your case, gather evidence, and open negotiations with the other side before any court paperwork begins.

Letter before claim

A formal letter sets out your claim and gives the other party a chance to respond. This often settles matters early.

Issuing a court claim

If negotiations stall, we prepare and file the claim with the court. You get clarity on costs and next steps.

Mediation attempt

A neutral mediator sits with both sides to explore settlement without a hearing. Most claims resolve at this stage.

Trial if needed

When settlement is not possible, we prepare your case for court and support you through the hearing itself.

Joseph didn't sugarcoat what my claim was worth. He told me the realistic figure up front, then worked to get me every penny of it. That honesty mattered as much as the result.

Straight answers on claim amounts, timelines, and legal costs.

How much compensation can I claim?

Claims up to £10,000 are covered. The final amount depends on evidence, medical reports, and how the incident affected you. We work to build the strongest case possible.

How long will my claim take?

Simple claims can settle in weeks, while disputed ones may take several months. We keep you updated at every stage and push things forward as quickly as the process allows.

Do I need a solicitor for a civil claim?

Not always. We guide you through the paperwork and process, so you know exactly what to do. For complex cases, we can advise on when a solicitor's input is worth the cost.

What does it cost to start a claim?

Our packages start from £300 with fixed fees agreed upfront. You'll know the total cost before we begin, with no surprise bills along the way.

What if I can't afford the fees?

The free 15-minute consultation helps you understand your options and whether a claim is worth pursuing. We can also discuss flexible payment arrangements where possible.

Can I claim for lost earnings and expenses?

Yes. You can include lost earnings, travel costs, and other out-of-pocket expenses directly linked to the incident. Keep receipts and records to support your claim.
