Personal Injury

Few of us truly appreciate how an accident can completely change our life trajectory.  

At Faradays Solicitors, we understand the devastating impact of a personal injury caused by the negligence of another person or organisation, and have a strong track record in securing compensation for our clients, even in the most complex types of claims.

We hold your hand throughout the compensation claim process, advising and representing you, ensuring you are always kept informed of your matter’s progress.  We work to settle your claim quickly, while making certain you receive the best compensation award possible.

Please contact us on 0207 281 1001 or at enquiries@faradayssolicitors.co.uk.

Our expertise in personal injury law includes the following:

Accidents

Accidents happen in a split second, but their impact can last for years, if not a lifetime.  Our team works with claimants who have suffered injury due to:

  • workplace accidents
  • trips, slips, and falls
  • motor and pedestrian accidents
  • accidents abroad

Accidents which have resulted in brain, spine, neck injuries, severe burns, or amputation of a limb, usually mean the victim must to go through extensive and painful rehabilitation.  In addition, they may need to fund adjustments to their home to ensure access to a wheelchair and/or go through counselling to deal with the mental health consequences of their injuries.

When you instruct Faradays Solicitors on personal injury matters, you can be confident a partner will be overseeing your case from start to finish. Personal injury claims resulting from serious injury are often complex, taking many months, sometimes years to settle.  We will be at your side throughout the process, driving forward your compensation claim to a satisfactory conclusion.

Small Claims

Faradays Solicitors advises and represents clients on all types of small claims, including:

  • whiplash 
  • broken bones
  • minor burns and scalds
  • strains and sprains
  • lacerations

Minor injuries can cause significant pain and result in time off work, loss of income, and medical costs.  Our personal injury solicitors will provide expert advice on your legal position and represent you if we believe your claim has merit.  Due to our experience in personal injury law, a majority of claims are settled outside of court, saving our clients the stress of having to go through a trial.

Sexual and Physical Abuse Claims

Sexual and physical abuse can have devastating consequences on a victim’s life.  We have worked with adults making claims for historic sexual and/or physical abuse that has occurred in boarding schools, children’s homes, sports clubs, community organisations and Scouts.  Our personal injury solicitors are also trained and experienced in dealing with child victims of sexual abuse.

We deal with all claims involving sexual and/or physical abuse with sensitivity and patience.  We acquire as much detail as possible from police and medical reports, sparing victims the trauma of having to retell the story of their abuse.  We also strive to settle cases outside of court, so victims are not forced to attend a trial.

Criminal Injury Compensation Claims

Criminal law is one of our main areas of expertise.  We have experienced solicitors who can assist victims of crime with making a claim for compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA), even if the perpetrator hasn’t been caught.

If you have been the victim of a violent crime, saw a crime happen to a loved one, or were injured whilst taking a ‘justified and exceptional’ risk trying to stop a crime, and have suffered a physical and/or mental injury as a result, we can assist you with claiming compensation.  We deal with every case with the utmost care and sensitivity and will ensure you receive the compensation you need to rebuild your life.

Rehabilitation

Ensuring clients who have suffered a personal injury receive adequate and timely rehabilitation is a crucial part of our job.  Section 4 of the Personal Injury Pre-Action Protocol states solicitors for both parties (claimant and defence) should “consider as early as possible whether the claimant has reasonable needs that could be met by medical treatment or other rehabilitative measures”.   The Rehabilitation Code 2015 provides a framework for the claimant’s solicitor and compensator (usually the insurer) to work together to ensure the victim of personal injury or clinical negligence receives the rehabilitation they need to recover.  Although the Rehabilitation Code 2015 is voluntary, we put pressure on insurers to provide rehabilitation as soon as possible so our clients can recover and return to their normal lives, if possible.

No Win, No Fee

We offer Conditional Fee Arrangements (also known as No Win, No Fee) to clients to mitigate the risk of bringing a personal injury claim.  No Win, No Fee means that if your compensation claim is unsuccessful, you will not have to pay any legal fees (although you will need to pay for any expenses relating to your case).  We can also arrange After The Event insurance for you to cover an adverse costs order should you claim be unsuccessful.

Because we shoulder the risk in a No Win, No Fee arrangement, we assess the merits of a claim carefully before we commit to representing a client.  This means that any case we do take on has a strong chance of success.

Our commitment to our personal injury clients goes beyond ensuring they receive compensation.  Every member of our team is driven to support victims of personal or criminal injury receive the funds and rehabilitation services they need to move forward to a positive future.
