Personal Injury Solicitors in Park Gate

Park Gate sits close to the industrial estates and marina businesses along the Hamble and Solent, and personal injury claims here often trace back to a workplace accident - a fall from height, an injury caused by unguarded machinery, or a manual handling injury from repetitive warehouse work - rather than only the road traffic accidents that dominate claims elsewhere.

Most personal injury solicitors act under a conditional fee, or no-win no-fee, agreement, meaning there's no fee if the claim doesn't succeed and legal costs are usually recovered from the other side if it does. The claim itself turns on proving that someone else's negligence caused the injury and that the injury caused a genuine, quantifiable loss, whether that's medical treatment, lost earnings, or the ongoing cost of care.

Claims generally need to be started within three years of the accident, though this is extended for children until three years after their eighteenth birthday. So it's worth seeking early advice, even if you don't pursue a claim immediately.
