Accident Claims - If you have had an accident and it was someone else's fault, you may be able to claim compensation. If the accident was more than three years ago, you may be too late, but you may still be able to make a claim. However, if you were under the age of 18 when it occurred, then you have three years from the age of 18 to make your claim.

We can help you with most types of problems including breach of contract claims, unfair and wrongful dismissals, advice on compromise/severance agreements, redundancy issues, maternity and other rights, sex, gender, race, age or disability discrimination and compliance with grievance and disciplinary procedures.

Pick up the telephone to discuss the matter as soon as possible. Alternatively, complete and submit our Form and we will contact you to discuss your accident and help you decide whether or not to proceed with a claim.

We provide a specialist and personal service, which we believe is safer than that of a claims company who often employ legally unqualified staff.

Details of our services can be found by clicking on the various legal fields to the left of this page. All our departments offer free initial advice with no obligation – please phone us to discuss your matter at your convenience.

Goodge Law was established in 2001 and has successfully built up a loyal client base. Situated in the West End of London, we are conveniently positioned for clients working in town.

We pride ourselves on being a progressive and forward-thinking firm offering a personable, friendly and efficient service to our clients.

We offer all initial telephone enquiries free. However, it is useful if you check if you have any household or other insurance policies which may cover the cost of litigation or you can take out insurance just to cover the risk of losing your claim.

When can I claim compensation? You can claim if you can prove that someone else is to blame for your accident. Most claims must be brought within three years of the accident. If the accident was more than three years ago, you may be too late, but you may still be able to make a claim.

How long will my claim take? A simple claim where responsibility is not disputed can take as little as four months. However, a claim normally takes approximately 9-12 months, but can take a number of years in the event of complex issues or injuries.

How much compensation will I get? This depends on the extent of your injuries, which a medical report will help to assess. You can also claim for your financial losses arising from an accident. The longer your injury affects you and your ability to work, the higher the compensation.

If I am unable to work, how can I pay the bills? If your employer stops paying you, then you should apply for state benefits. If the injury prevents you from working, you may also be able to claim loss of earnings. If there is no dispute about blame and there is likely to be any delay, it is usually possible to obtain an advance payment of compensation before the final amount is agreed. This is known as an interim payment.

Can you visit me at home or in hospital? Yes, we can do this if you would like us to and you feel well enough to meet with us.
