When can I make a claim?
If you have been injured or have caught an illness or disease and someone else is responsible, you may be able to claim compensation.
This can include injury, illness or disease caused by a road accident, accident at work or medical accidents.
If a member of your family has died due to an accident you may also be able to claim for compensation. This is known as a "Fatal Accidents" claim.
