Can I make a personal injury claim in my city?

Yes. If you have been injured in an accident that was not your fault — on the road, at work, or in a public place — you have the right to claim compensation. This right applies across the UK. A specialist can assess your case and advise on the best way forward, often on a no win, no fee basis.

Will my claim be handled on a no win, no fee basis?

Most personal injury claims in our network are handled on a no win, no fee basis. This means you typically pay nothing upfront, and the solicitor's fee is deducted from your compensation only if your claim is successful.

How long do I have to make a personal injury claim?

In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident to start a claim. For children, the three-year period begins on their 18th birthday. However, it is always better to start sooner while evidence is fresh.

What types of personal injury cases do you handle?

Our specialist network covers road traffic accidents, workplace injuries, slips and falls, medical negligence, and public liability claims. If you are unsure, submit an enquiry and we will point you in the right direction.

How much compensation could I receive?

Compensation depends on the severity of your injury, recovery time, financial losses, and impact on your life. A specialist will review your specific circumstances and give you a realistic estimate during your initial consultation.

Do I need to pay anything upfront?

No. The initial review is free. If a specialist takes on your case, it is typically on a no win, no fee basis with no upfront costs.

Personal Injury in Cardiff

Been injured in Cardiff?

Cardiff's rapid growth as a capital city has brought significantly increased road traffic on the M4 corridor, the A48 and A470 approach roads, and the city's expanding Bay area. The M4 Brynglas Tunnels section near Newport is a notorious accident bottleneck, and the A48(M) spur to Cardiff city centre sees frequent incidents.

Cardiff's construction boom — including the Central Square development, the Cardiff Bay regeneration, and major residential schemes — has created a substantial construction workforce. Scaffold falls, machinery incidents, and unsafe site conditions are regularly reported.

The city's retail and hospitality economy — concentrated around St David's Centre, the Bay, and the city centre — generates significant slip, trip, and fall claims. Welsh law mirrors English law for personal injury claims, giving Cardiff residents the same right to recover compensation.

Local Accident Context

The M4 motorway through South Wales, particularly the Brynglas Tunnels section, is a consistent accident bottleneck. The A48(M) spur to Cardiff city centre, the A470 through the city, and the A4232 to Cardiff Bay are the main accident corridors. The city centre's one-way system and high pedestrian traffic create frequent cyclist and pedestrian incidents.

Medical & Rehabilitation

Cardiff has major trauma centres at the University Hospital of Wales and the Cardiff Royal Infirmary. The Cardiff and Vale University Health Board provides rehabilitation services across South Wales. Private physiotherapy is available in the city centre, Pontcanna, and Whitchurch.

Legal framework

The law of England and Wales applies. Personal injury claims in Cardiff follow the same legal basis as in England. The limitation period is 3 years from the accident date. Cardiff Civil Justice Centre handles personal injury claims, and the procedural process is identical to that in any English city.

Common Claim Types
