In general, you may be able to make a personal injury claim if you have been injured due to an accident or deliberate action by a third party, where it can be shown that a third party’s action or inaction directly resulted in your injury. You may also have to show that the injury has caused lasting consequences, such as ongoing physical or emotional damage and may need to be able to show specific financial losses you have suffered as a result i.e. having to take time off work due to your injuries.
