A look at some of the personal injury claims YouClaim have helped with

YouClaim come to the aid of thousands of people every year who have suffered a personal injury through no fault of their own and want to claim compensation.

We have a panel of expert personal injury solicitors who specialise in a whole range of different types of claims and so you can be sure that no matter how your injury was caused, we have someone that is qualified to help you.

Anyone that comes to us to make an accident claim will not have to pay out a single penny at any time. That's right, pursuing damages with YouClaim is completely free and you can even keep 100% of any compensation you're awarded. Now you can't say fairer than that.

To demonstrate how YouClaim might be able to help you, we've compiled the stories of a few of those people who have won compensation after contacting us on 0800 10 757 95:

Mr Gray from Manchester
Mr Gray, a 34-year-old father of two, was driving to pick up his young sons from Saturday morning football training when he was hit from behind at a junction. The other vehicle had been travelling too fast and was unable to stop in time, causing a significant impact that sent Mr Gray's car skidding several yards forwards.

The force of the smash left him with a painful whiplash injury and he was forced to take a week off work from his job as a decorator. Despite being back at work, the neck injury still caused him some discomfort and it was nearly a month before the pain had disappeared completely.

He decided to seek compensation from the driver of the car that had hit him and contacted YouClaim to see if we could help. We most definitely could help and one of our personal injury solicitors who specialises in car accident claims took on the case.

The insurance company of the driver that had hit Mr Gray accepted liability for the car crash and the case was settled without having to go to court. Not long after the settlement was agreed, he received a cheque through the post for just under 2,000.

This was the full figure that had been offered by the other driver's insurance company and Mr Gray's personal injury solicitor had not taken a penny for himself. In fact, thanks to YouClaim, the whole thing had cost Mr Gray absolutely nothing and he ended up several thousand pounds better off.

Mrs Kaur from Leicester
Factory worker Mrs Kaur was left in agony when an accident at work resulted in her losing her little finger. She was using a powerful stamping machine when her hand became caught in the mechanism and her little finger was badly mangled. She was rushed to hospital but doctors were unable to save her finger and were forced to amputate the remaining skin and bone.

The personal injury was hugely painful and Mrs Kaur had to take over a month off work. Now with only four fingers on her left hand she was unable to continue doing her previous job and so had to be reassigned elsewhere in the factory.

On returning to work she discovered that the machine she had been working on when she was hurt was supposed to be fitted with a safety guard. Further investigation revealed that its guard had been broken more than a year ago and so she had been unaware that it was even supposed to have one.

Angry that her employers had risked her safety in such a way, she decided to make a personal injury compensation claim against them and so logged onto the internet to find a company that could help her. Typing in 'work accident' she found YouClaim and, impressed with the fact that we wouldn't charge her a thing, gave our friendly claims team a call.

We agreed to take her claim on and instructed an injury solicitor who was an expert in work-related accidents to pursue her employees for damages. The factory owners initially denied liability for Mrs Kaur's personal injuries but, as the evidence piled up against them, eventually accepted responsibility and agreed to pay her in the region of 7,500.

This included money for the pain and suffering she had endured, all the travel and prescription expenses she had paid for as well as the loss of earnings that her month off work had resulted in. After consulting with Mrs Kaur, her personal injury solicitor accepted the offer and it wasn't long before she received a cheque for the full amount.

Mr Harrison from London
Mr Harrison was a dock worker who, back in the late 1970s, had been responsible for stripping out old ships that were due to be scrapped. Whilst carrying out this work he was frequently exposed to asbestos dust but, unaware of the dangers of the substance, had not worn any protective clothing.

Twenty five years later and the father of three teenage children, Mr Harrison began to suffer breathing difficulties and was diagnosed with mesothelioma. The doctors blamed this deadly condition on his contact with asbestos and gave him less than six months to live. He tragically died four months later, leaving behind a heartbroken family.

Unable to support the three children on her own, Mr Harrison's devastated widow contacted YouClaim and explained that she wanted to pursue a compensation claim against the company for whom he had worked in the 70s. We agreed to take on the case and promised her that it wouldn't cost her a penny.

It was soon discovered that Mr Harrison's former employers had already been the subject of several industrial illness claims and had paid out significant compensation to others whose relatives had died from asbestos-related diseases.

Not wanting to be the subject of further negative media attention, the company quickly agreed a settlement with Mr Harrison's widow and she received just under 200,000. Every penny of this went directly to the family and neither YouClaim nor the personal injury solicitor we appointed to fight Mrs Harrison's case took a cut.
