Your rights

If you or someone in your family has suffered an injury or contracted an illness through no fault of your own, you may have the legal right to compensation for lost earnings, your pain and suffering or other losses such as care expenses. APIL can advise you about how best to seek the most appropriate legal assistance.

Who should you talk to?

Personal injury is a very complex area of the law so using an accredited specialist is important to ensure your compensation claim is handled properly.

You might be approached by unqualified non-specialists, who may only be interested in obtaining a percentage of your damages and not in providing you with the best or most appropriate legal assistance for your particular needs. Care should be taken, as these companies are often just acting as middlemen, passing your case on to someone else to handle.

An APIL accredited injury lawyer is committed to acting in your best interest and will deal with you personally. He or she will explain what compensation you may be entitled to and will always give you clear and honest advice with your welfare in mind. APIL lawyers are specialists and receive ongoing training to make sure they are always up to date with the latest developments in personal injury law.
