The content on this website is general information only and is not legal advice. Accidental Lawyer is not a law firm or a claims management company, does not provide legal services, and using the site does not create any solicitor-client relationship. For advice about your own situation, always consult a solicitor regulated in the relevant UK jurisdiction.
1. No legal advice
All articles, guides, tables, figures and other materials on accidentallawyer.co.uk are provided for general educational and informational purposes only. They describe how the UK personal injury claims process generally works. They are not, and must not be treated as, legal advice or a recommendation about any particular course of action. The law changes, and how it applies depends entirely on the specific facts of your case. You should not act, or refrain from acting, on the basis of anything on this site without first obtaining professional advice from a qualified, regulated solicitor.
2. We are not a law firm or claims company
Accidental Lawyer is an independent information website. It is not a firm of solicitors, a barristers' chambers, a claims management company, a regulated legal services provider, or an insurer. We are not authorised or regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or any other regulator, because we do not carry out regulated activities. We do not run, manage, fund or refer claims.
3. No solicitor-client relationship
Reading this website, using any tool on it, or contacting us by email does not create a solicitor-client relationship, a retainer, a duty of care in respect of any claim, or any other professional or advisory relationship between you and the operator of this site. We cannot and do not advise on, value, or take responsibility for any individual claim.
⚠ Time limits are strict
Personal injury claims are subject to strict legal time limits (usually three years, with important exceptions). If you wait too long you may lose the right to claim entirely. Do not rely on this site to work out your deadline — get advice from a solicitor as early as possible.
4. Estimates and figures are illustrative only
Any compensation amounts, brackets, ranges or estimates shown on this site — including in the homepage "what could my claim be worth?" tool — are illustrative and based on general published guidance such as the Judicial College Guidelines and reported cases. They are rounded, simplified, and may not reflect the latest figures. They are not a valuation of your claim and do not take account of your individual losses (such as lost earnings, care or future costs), which are often the larger part of a claim. Only a solicitor who has reviewed your medical evidence and circumstances can give a reliable assessment.
5. Accuracy and currency
We take reasonable care to ensure the information here is accurate and up to date at the time of writing, and we date each page. However, we give no warranty or guarantee that the content is complete, current or free from error. Laws, court rules, official portals and guideline figures change over time. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for any loss or damage arising from reliance on this site. If you believe something is inaccurate or out of date, please tell us at [email protected] and we will review it.
6. Jurisdiction
The United Kingdom has more than one legal system. England & Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland each have their own courts, procedures and, in some areas, different rules and time limits. General statements on this site may not apply equally across all of them. Always check the position for the jurisdiction relevant to your accident with a locally regulated solicitor.
7. External links and third parties
This site may refer or link to third-party organisations and official bodies (for example the SRA, the Law Society, Citizens Advice and GOV.UK). We provide these as a convenience and to help you find reliable help; we do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy or availability of any external website, and a reference is not an endorsement. We do not receive referral fees for directing you to any solicitor or firm.
8. Advertising
This website is supported by third-party advertising, including Google AdSense. Adverts are labelled and are independent of our editorial content. Advertisers do not influence what we write, and the appearance of an advert is not a recommendation by us. Third-party advertising vendors may use cookies; please see our advertising partners' own policies for details of how they process data.
