THE SCALE OF THE JUSTICE GAP The UK faces a crisis in access to justice, with millions of injured victims not going on to access the justice and support they need. Opinion polling, specially commissioned by APIL, exposes the scale of this justice gap... 7.5 MILLION VICTIMS OF NEGLIGENCE HAVE NEVER CLAIMED COMPENSATION ALMOST A THIRD OF UK ADULTS HAVE BEEN HARMED DUE TO SOMEONE ELSE'S NEGLIGENCE 44% OF VICTIMS OF NEGLIGENCE DID NOT CLAIM COMPENSATION ONLY 1 IN 5 VICTIMS OF NEGLIGENCE APPROACHED A PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER This justice gap is dramatically widening - injury claims have collapsed by 60% over the past decade and fell to a record low in 2025. As a result, the 2.3 million people harmed by negligence each year are increasingly unlikely to seek redress. PAGE 6
