Who this is for
If someone else’s negligence caused your injury, the burden shouldn’t fall on you
Personal injury law lets a person who has been harmed by someone else’s negligence or wrongful act claim compensation for what they have suffered. The situations are wide-ranging: a slip or fall in a shop or public space, an injury at work, an accident caused by another driver, a bite from a poorly controlled animal, or harm caused by a defective product. What they share is a common structure — to succeed, a claim must generally show that another party owed you a duty of care, that they breached it, and that the breach caused your injury. The rules on fault, how compensation is calculated, and the time limits for bringing a claim all vary from one European country to another. We match you, free of charge, with a personal injury lawyer in the relevant country who can establish who is responsible and pursue the compensation you are entitled to.
Why injured people get stuck
Insurers act fast.
You shouldn’t be rushed into a bad settlement.
An early offer is often a fraction of what a claim is worth — and accepting it can close the door on what you’re still owed.
Pressure to settle quickly
Insurers frequently make a low offer soon after an accident, before the full extent of the injury and its long-term impact on your work and life are even known.
Fault being disputed or blurred
Establishing who was responsible — an employer, an occupier, another driver, a manufacturer — and proving the breach of duty is rarely straightforward without evidence and legal expertise.
Hidden long-term costs
Future treatment, rehabilitation, reduced earning capacity and ongoing care are easy to overlook when you are focused on recovering, yet they can dwarf the immediate medical bills.
What you get
A personal injury lawyer who maximises what you recover
We only match you with lawyers who regularly handle personal injury claims in the country where the accident happened.
Free, honest case review
Your lawyer assesses liability and the strength of your claim, telling you plainly what your case is worth and whether it is worth pursuing before you commit to anything.
Liability established
Your lawyer gathers the evidence — witness statements, photographs, records and expert input — needed to prove who was at fault and how the accident happened.
Full value of your losses
Beyond medical costs, your lawyer calculates lost and future earnings, rehabilitation, care and the pain and suffering you have endured, so the claim reflects the true impact.
Negotiation and court if needed
Your lawyer deals with the insurer directly, rejecting low offers and negotiating properly — and takes the matter to court where a fair settlement cannot be reached.

Frequently asked
Personal injury — common questions
What is a personal injury claim?
A personal injury claim seeks compensation for harm caused by another person’s negligence or wrongful act, such as an accident at work, a slip in a public place, or an injury caused by another driver. To succeed you generally need to show a breach of duty that caused your injury.
How is compensation calculated?
Compensation typically reflects both the injury itself — including pain and suffering — and financial losses such as medical costs, lost income and future care needs. The exact method and amounts vary by country, so a local personal injury lawyer can give you a realistic estimate for your case.
What should I do after an accident?
Seek medical attention, report the accident where relevant, and gather evidence — photographs, witness details and any records. Keep all documentation and avoid signing anything from an insurer before getting legal advice, as early offers can be far below the true value of your claim.
Is there a time limit for making a claim?
Yes. Most countries impose limitation periods, commonly a few years from the date of the accident or from when you became aware of the injury, and these vary by country. It is important to act promptly so you do not lose the right to claim.
What if the accident was partly my fault?
Many countries allow a claim even where you were partly at fault, with compensation reduced to reflect your share of responsibility. The rules differ significantly by country, so a personal injury lawyer can advise how this might affect your case.
How much will it cost to make a claim?
Many personal injury lawyers work on arrangements that limit your upfront costs, and our matching service is free with no obligation to hire. Your lawyer will explain the fee structure clearly before you proceed, so there are no surprises.
