About Personal Injury in Portsmouth

Personal injury claims in Portsmouth

Portsmouth's personal injury landscape is shaped by its status as a major naval city, its island geography, and its large student population. The naval base and associated defence sector creates workplace injury risks, while the A27 and M27 generate regular road traffic claims.

Portsmouth's road network includes the A27, M27, and the approaches to the Gosport Ferry. The naval base and associated defence sector — including BAE Systems and the Royal Navy — generates workplace injury claims. The large student population around the University of Portsmouth creates student-related claims.

Frequently asked questions — Portsmouth

Can I claim for a road accident on the A27 near Portsmouth?

Yes. A27 accident claims are handled in the same way as other road traffic claims. If another driver's negligence caused the accident, you can claim against their insurance.

I was injured at a naval base or defence facility — what are my rights?

If your injury was caused by inadequate training, defective equipment, or unsafe working practices, you can claim against your employer's liability insurance. Defence sector claims can be complex, and specialist legal support is recommended.
