The compensation claim for a fall injury or trip accident ranges from £1,000 for minor sprains to over £250,000 for severe injuries such as spinal damage or head trauma.

Any claim examples, timeframes, or case outcomes mentioned on this page are for illustration purposes only. The claim amount you could receive depends on the specific facts of your case and liability coverage.

We operate on a No Win No Fee basis, meaning you only pay if your claim success is achieved. If successful, a success fee (capped at 25% of your liability damages) plus any agreed After the Event (ATE) insurance cover premium may be deducted from your claim settlement. There are no upfront legal costs.

Key factors influencing claim payout include the severity of the injury, with more serious conditions such as fractures, head injuries, or permanent disabilities leading to higher average payouts. Financial losses also play a crucial role, as compensation claims may cover lost earnings, medical expenses, and rehabilitation costs.

Additionally, the long-term impact of the personal injury, such as reduced mobility, chronic pain, or the need for ongoing care, can significantly affect the final injury settlement.
