Common questions about personal injury solicitors in Chichester
How much does a personal injury solicitor in Chichester cost?
Most personal injury solicitors work on a 'no win, no fee' basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and a success fee (capped by law) is deducted from your compensation only if the claim succeeds. Ask any solicitor to confirm this arrangement in writing before you sign anything.
How long do I have to make a personal injury claim?
In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident (or from when you became aware of the injury) to start a claim in England and Wales. Some exceptions apply, particularly for claims involving children or certain workplace exposures, so it's worth checking your specific situation early.
Will my case go to court?
The large majority of personal injury claims are settled through negotiation between solicitors and insurers without a court hearing. Court is typically only needed when liability or the compensation amount is seriously disputed.
What should I bring to a first meeting with a Chichester personal injury solicitor?
Bring any accident report, photos of injuries or the scene, medical records or GP letters, witness contact details, and evidence of any financial losses such as time off work. The more documentation you have, the faster a solicitor can assess your claim's strength.
