What is a personal injury claim?
A personal injury claim is a legal process where you seek compensation for harm suffered due to someone else’s negligence. Whether this is 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 damages that you may endure.
Why would someone want to submit a personal injury claim?
Personal injury claims seek justice for victims, helping them receive financial assistance. Personal injury compensation can help cover medical bills, lost income, and any other costs that may arise due to your injury.
When you submit a personal injury claim with a trusted personal injury solicitor, you’re taking your first step to securing financial support to aid your recovery.
What accidents can I claim personal injury for?
At Tylers Solicitors, we handle personal injury claims for a wide range of accidents.

- Workplace accidents: Injuries sustained in a work environment, such as slips, trips, and equipment-related accidents.

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:

- Witness statements: Descriptions of the incident from any witnesses.
- Photographic evidence: Photos of the injury, accident site, or supporting images of any relevant damage.
