Your free check
Pick the closest option to begin. Nothing is decided at this stage.
Time limits usually apply, so this helps us point you in the right direction.
Fairweather Group Ltd, trading as claim.co.uk, is a claims management company authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, FRN 935899 (as stated in its own terms and conditions).
The honest version
People across England and Wales, including near you, use our free check to work out where they stand after an accident that wasn't their fault.
An accident at work, a crash while driving for work, or a fall in a public place that wasn't your fault can leave you dealing with pain, time off, and bills, while you're still not sure whether you actually have grounds to claim. Most people we hear from aren't looking for a windfall. They just want to know, in plain English, whether what happened to them counts.
The clock is also running. Personal injury claims usually have to be started within three years of the accident, or from the date you realised your injury was linked to it, with different rules if you're claiming for a child or for an adult who can't manage their own affairs. It's easy to let that window close while you're weighing up whether it's worth the hassle, or who to trust among the many claims companies out there.
That's the whole reason this page exists. A free check costs you nothing, commits you to nothing, and tells you whether it looks like there is something worth taking further.
What you can check
Faulty equipment, unsafe lifting, a missing guard, a spill nobody cleaned up, or training you were never given. If your employer's failure played a part in you being hurt, that's worth checking. You do not need your manager's permission to look into it.
Vans, HGVs, company cars, deliveries and site-to-site journeys. Being on the clock when someone else caused the collision doesn't stop you looking into a claim. If you were injured in a road traffic accident in England or Wales, you may be able to make a claim yourself, for free, using the Official Injury Claim service.
A broken pavement, an unlit stairwell, a shop floor left wet with no sign. Where someone responsible for a space didn't keep it reasonably safe and you were injured because of it, a check will tell you whether it looks like there's a claim.
The process
Three steps, and you can stop at any of them.
Takes about 2 minutes · No obligation · Free to check
Tell us where and roughly when you were hurt, and a little about the injury. It takes a couple of minutes, costs nothing, and you're not agreeing to anything by doing it.
We compare your answers against the criteria the solicitors on our panel look for. We don't advise you, value your claim or decide anything about it; that isn't our role and we're not a law firm.
If it looks like you could have a claim, we introduce you to a single regulated personal injury solicitor. They contact you the way you asked to be contacted and explain their own terms and fees before you agree to anything. You can take a 14-day cooling-off period, or walk away.
Costs, in plain English
The check itself is free. claim.co.uk doesn't charge you for the check or for the introduction. We are paid by the solicitors we introduce you to, never by you.
No Win, No Fee — the maximum success fee the legal panel will charge is 50% inclusive of VAT. That fee is only ever taken from compensation you actually receive, and the solicitor will tell you the exact fee that applies to your case before you agree to anything.
You do not have to use a claims management company at all. You are free to approach a solicitor directly, or to pursue a personal injury claim yourself, at no cost.

Yes, and the solicitor must explain them to you. A termination fee can apply if you end the agreement after it has started. You may also have to pay costs in some circumstances, for example if you do not cooperate with the solicitor or you are not truthful about what happened. Ask the solicitor whether After the Event insurance is included in your agreement and what it covers.
Personal injury claims usually need to be started within three years of the accident, or from the date you became aware your injury was connected to it. Different time limits can apply if you are claiming for a child, or for an adult who lacks the mental capacity to manage their own affairs.
