Who Cannot Claim

This guide explains who cannot claim in clear, plain English so you understand your position before you decide what to do. Personal injury law in England and Wales can feel complicated, but the core ideas are straightforward once they're broken down.

If you're dealing with who cannot claim after an accident that wasn't your fault, you don't have to work it out alone. Below we cover what you need to know, and you can request a free, no-obligation assessment from a specialist solicitor at any time.

The basics

At its simplest, who cannot claim comes down to who was responsible, how you were affected, and what you are entitled to recover. A solicitor gathers evidence, values your claim and negotiates on your behalf.

What affects your claim

Several things influence the outcome:

• The strength of the evidence you can provide
• How clearly fault can be established
• The severity and lasting impact of your injury
• Your financial losses, now and in the future
• Whether you were partly responsible

What to do next

Keep any evidence you have, note down what happened while it's fresh, and seek medical attention if you haven't already. Then speak to a specialist who can tell you whether you have a claim and what it could be worth — for free.
