What are personal injury claims?
A personal injury claim is the process of seeking compensation for harm suffered due to someone else’s negligence. For example, this could be an accident at work, a car crash, or a slip and fall. Personal injury claims cover a variety of different injuries and incidents.
The overall goal of a personal injury claim is to ensure that you’re compensated for any physical, emotional, and financial losses you have experienced due to the accident and subsequent injury.
Why would someone want to submit a personal injury claim?
Personal injury claims are a way to seek justice, helping you receive financial assistance. Personal injury compensation can help cover medical bills, lost income, and any other costs that may arise due to your injury.

What accidents can I claim personal injury for?
At Tylers Solicitors, we handle personal injury claims for a wide range of accidents. Remember — you can only make a personal injury claim if you were not at fault for the incident.
In a road traffic accident involving cars, motorcycles, bikes, or another vehicle, you may experience minor injuries like lacerations and soft-tissue injuries.
You may also experience severe to life-changing injuries, depending on the speed at which you were travelling. Common RTA injuries include head injuries, spinal injuries, broken bones, internal injuries, and whiplash.
If you have been in an accident at work because of unsafe conditions, you could be left with slip, trip, and fall injuries like sprains, broken bones, and head trauma.
For accidents at work involving machinery and a lack of adequate training, burns, amputations, and crushing injuries are also common. Manual-handling injuries such as back strain and herniated disks can also occur at work.
If you’re in a public space like a shopping centre, park, or supermarket, you may have an accident which causes injury. Some accident examples include slips, trips, and injuries from falling or unsecured objects. You may experience injuries such as fractures, facial injuries, or concussions as a result.
If you receive improper medical care or treatment, you may experience serious injuries as a result. Whether it’s due to misdiagnosis, incorrect surgery, or receiving the wrong prescription medication, negligence can lead to infections, brain damage, and other injuries that would have otherwise been avoidable.
Injuries caused by animal attacks, like dog bites, can be very unexpected and severe. Examples include puncture wounds, lacerations, infections, facial disfigurement, and psychological trauma.
If you can’t see your type of personal injury above, contact our team, and we will be able to advise you on whether you have a valid claim.
What evidence do you need for a personal injury claim?
If you’re making a personal injury claim in the UK, having the right evidence to hand may help you get the right amount of compensation.
If possible, try and collate the following after your incident:
- Medical records: Details of the injury, any treatments, and your projected recovery timeline.
- Witness statements: Descriptions of the incident from any witnesses.
- Photographic evidence: Photos of the injury, accident site, or supporting images of any relevant damage.
- Official reports: Any reports filed with the police, work authorities, and any businesses involved.
If you aren’t able to collate this evidence before meeting one of our personal injury solicitors — don’t worry. We will help you source and gather what you need.
