Putting Our Clients First: Personal Injury Support You Can Trust

At Hopkins Solicitors, we understand that being injured, whether at work, in a public place, or on someone else’s property, can be a life-changing experience. Beyond the physical pain, there’s emotional strain, financial pressure and uncertainty about what comes next. That’s why our Personal Injury team is committed to putting you at the heart of everything we do.

Every injury claim is more than just a case number. It’s a story, a person and a journey toward recovery. Our mission at Hopkins Solicitors is to provide compassionate, expert guidance through every step, from the first call to the resolution of your claim.

Understanding Personal Injury Claims

Personal injury law exists to protect people who have been harmed due to someone else’s negligence. For many of our clients, this might mean:

• Employer’s Liability: An accident at work caused by unsafe working conditions or employer negligence.
• Public Liability: Accidents that happen in public spaces, such as slips trips and falls.
• Occupiers’ Liability: Injuries on private property, including shops, gyms, or leisure facilities, where the property owner has failed to keep the area safe.

These claims aren’t just about compensation, they’re about holding the responsible parties accountable and ensuring our clients feel supported while navigating the legal system.

Why Client Care is at the Centre of What We Do

At Hopkins Solicitors, we know that an injury doesn’t just affect your body, it affects your life. We pride ourselves upon being an approachable friendly law firm that genuinely cares about you.

That’s why our approach is built around empathy, understanding, and clear communication.

Our Approach

Listening to Your Story: We start by listening. Your experience matters. By completely  understanding your situation, we can advise on the most effective way to pursue your claim.

Clear Guidance: Legal processes can feel overwhelming. Our team explains each step clearly, ensuring you know what to expect and feel confident in the decisions you make.

Supporting Your Recovery: Your physical and emotional recovery is our priority. We coordinate with medical experts, physiotherapists, and other professionals to ensure your needs are met while your claim progresses.

Accessibility: We are always available to answer questions and provide reassurance. Whether it’s a quick call, email, or meeting, we put you first, your peace of mind is just as important as your claim.

Employer’s Liability: Protecting Workers’ Rights

Injuries at work can be distressing, especially when you rely on your income to support your family. Employer’s Liability claims arise when an employer fails to provide a safe working environment.

Common scenarios include:

• Slips, trips, and falls in the workplace
• Accidents involving machinery or equipment
• Occupational illnesses due to unsafe conditions

Our team has extensive experience handling Employer’s Liability claims, guiding employees to obtain the compensation they need to recover and move forward.

Public Liability: Safety in Public Spaces

Accidents can happen anywhere. A trip on a wet supermarket floor, a fall in a poorly maintained park, or a collision in a leisure facility can leave lasting consequences. Public Liability claims exist to protect ordinary people who suffer due to someone else’s negligence.

At Hopkins Solicitors, we take the time to:

• Gather evidence professionally and thoroughly
• Support you through medical assessments
• Handle communication with insurers so you can focus on recovery
• We aim to make the claims process as smooth, stress-free and transparent as possible.

Occupiers’ Liability: Holding Property Owners Accountable

If you’re injured on someone else’s property, the owner may be responsible if they failed to ensure your safety. Occupiers’ Liability claims often involve:

• Slips and falls on uneven surfaces
• Accidents caused by faulty equipment or poor maintenance
• Injuries in public buildings or private facilities

Our compassionate approach means we carefully consider your personal circumstances, ensuring that your wellbeing is prioritised alongside your legal rights.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How long do I have to make a Personal Injury Claim in the UK?

In most cases, you have three years from the date of your injury to make a personal injury claim if you are aged 18 or over. If you were under 18 at the time of the injury, the three-year time limit begins on your 18th birthday.

How much compensation can I claim for a personal injury?

Compensation awarded in a successful personal injury claim is assessed on a case-by-case basis, as every claim is unique. The amount you may receive will depend on factors such as the severity of your injuries, any medical treatment or procedures required and the length of time it takes you to recover.

Do you offer No Win No Fee personal injury claims?

Yes, we do. Under this arrangement, also know as a Conditional Fee Agreement, the client only pays for our legal fees if the case is successful. If you would like to find out more about this, please click through to the ‘No Win, No Fee’ Solicitor Services page.

Can I claim compensation if I was injured at work?

Yes, you can claim compensation if you were injured at work if it was proven that the injury was caused by unsafe conditions, lack of proper training, faulty equipment or inadequate safety measures (Employer Negligence). Employers have a legal duty to protect your health and safety. Claims are made against their insurance, and you cannot legally be dismissed for making a genuine claim.
