Personal injury claims allow individuals to seek compensation when they have suffered harm due to someone else’s negligence. Whether you were injured in a road accident, a public place, or at work, the law protects your right to claim if another party was responsible.
In a busy seaside town like Blackpool, where high footfall, tourism, and traffic contribute to common hazards, accidents can happen anywhere. You could slip on a wet pavement near the seafront or be injured in a collision on the A584. Marley Solicitors has helped people across Blackpool navigate the personal injury claims process and recover the compensation they deserve.
What is a personal injury claim?
A personal injury claim is a legal process that helps you recover damages for physical or psychological harm caused by someone else’s carelessness. This could be due to a road accident, a fall in a shop, or an injury at work caused by poor safety standards.
If you’ve suffered pain, loss of income, or lasting effects from an accident that was not your fault, you may have the right to claim compensation.
Can I make a personal injury claim in Blackpool?
Yes. If your injury was caused by negligence and happened within the last three years, you may be entitled to bring a claim. Marley Solicitors can assess your case and guide you through each step with clear advice.
