If you have been injured in an accident that was not your fault, you may be wondering whether you are eligible for a personal injury claim. The answer to this question will depend on what happened, who was responsible and how the injury has affected you.

Generally speaking, you may be able to make a personal injury claim if you were injured because another person, business, employer or organisation failed to take reasonable care. This could include an accident at work, a road accident, an accident in a public place or another situation where someone else’s actions caused you harm.

Not every injury leads to a valid injury claim. To claim compensation, you need to show that someone else was at fault and that their actions caused your injury. There is also a legal time limit for starting a claim in England and Wales.
