No one expects to need a personal injury lawyer, but a life changing accident can happen in an instant. Injuries often bring pain, long term health difficulties and unexpected financial pressures, including loss of earnings, replacing your car and private medical costs.
At LMK LAW we are specialist personal injury solicitors. We provide expert support and representation for all types of accident and injury claims, helping you secure the compensation and justice you deserve.
CAN I MAKE A CLAIM?
Not every injury is someone’s fault. However, many accidents can be traced to a person or organisation who did something they should not have done, or who failed to do something they should have done. When someone breaches a duty of care to you, such as the duty to drive safely on the road, and this results in injury, it is known as negligence.
If you have been injured because of someone else’s negligence, you are entitled to seek compensation. Even if you were partly responsible, you may still have a valid claim. If you are unsure whether your injury was someone else’s fault, it is important that you speak with us. We will assess your situation and provide clear, honest advice.
HOW DO I MAKE A CLAIM?
Making a claim can feel daunting, especially when you are already coping with pain, stress and financial pressure. At LMK LAW we guide you through each stage and explain everything in plain language!
A STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS
1. Get Medical Help and Keep Evidence
Seek medical attention immediately. Accurate medical records are essential. Keep (if possible):
- Photographs of injuries
- GP and hospital records
- Prescriptions
- Referral letters
These documents strengthen your personal injury claim.
2. Contact LMK LAW for a Free Initial Consultation
Speak to our personal injury team for straightforward advice. We assess:
- What happened
- Who may be at fault
- Whether you have a legal basis to claim
This early advice helps you understand your options.
3. We Investigate and Assess Your Claim
Our solicitors examine:
- How the accident occurred
- Evidence of negligence
- The extent of your injuries
- Your financial losses
4. We Notify the Responsible Party or Insurer
When we take on your case, we issue a formal Letter of Claim to the person, company or insurer responsible. This starts the official pre-action protocol for accident claims in Northern Ireland.
5. Gathering Evidence to Support Your Claim
Strong evidence increases the value and success of your claim. We gather:
- Medical reports
- Witness statements
- Accident or police reports
- CCTV or dashcam footage
- Wage slips and evidence of financial loss
- Photographs of the accident scene
6. Calculating the Value of Your Claim
We use Northern Ireland Judicial Guidelines and court decisions to calculate fair compensation, including:
- Pain, suffering and loss of mobility
- Loss of earnings and future earnings
- Medical treatment costs
- Travel and rehabilitation expenses
- Care and support needs
7. Negotiating a Settlement
Most personal injury claims settle outside of court. We negotiate firmly on your behalf to secure the best possible compensation. You receive clear advice on whether to accept or reject an offer.
8. Issuing Court Proceedings (If Necessary)
If the other party denies responsibility or offers too little, we can issue court proceedings in the appropriate court in Northern Ireland. Many cases still settle before reaching a full hearing.
9. Receiving Your Compensation
When your claim is settled or awarded by the court, your compensation is paid promptly. We explain the process clearly and ensure everything is handled correctly, including legal costs.
10. Time Limits for Personal Injury Claims
In most cases, you have 3 years from the date of your accident to start your claim.
