What is a personal injury claim?
“Personal injury” is the legal term for an injury or illness that’s been caused (or made worse) by someone else’s negligence. If you’ve sustained an injury in these circumstances, you may be able to make a personal injury claim to recover compensation from those responsible. This compensation can be used to fund medical treatment, therapy, and supplement any lost earnings you've experienced due to your injuries.
More information on personal injury claims can be found in our guide.

"If I’d not contacted Irwin Mitchell, I'd probably be in a sticky situation now. My career was swept out from under my feet, potential sponsors, funding. They made sure I was compensated rightly for the losses."
James Ellington
Personal Injury client
Rising athletics star James was on a training camp for the World Championships in Tenerife when he was involved in a collision as a motorbike passenger. He broke his leg, ankle, and pelvis. We helped him secure payments to fund a rehabilitation package and ease some of the financial burden. A year later, James was able to compete again.

Can I make a no win no fee personal injury claim?
You only ever pay anything if your no win no fee claim is successful, which means:
- You won’t have to pay a penny out of your own pocket
- There is no financial risk to you if your claim is unsuccessful.
- If your case is unsuccessful you won’t have to pay any legal fees – either to your own solicitor or to your opponent’s.
You might already have legal cover through legal expenses insurance on your home/car insurance, or through being a member of a trade union.
We’ll discuss all the possible funding options with you during your initial consultation.
