Claims & Compensation Checkers
Use free tools to understand whether you may have a claim, what time limits could apply, what evidence may be needed and what compensation factors may be relevant.
Check time limits and preserve evidence first
Begin with the claim limitation checker because many claims are subject to deadlines and exceptions can be complex. Next use the checker for the incident type, then record dates, reports, photographs, witness details, medical evidence and financial losses. Do not delay professional advice because an online estimate appears favourable or unfavourable.
Compensation figures are indicative and depend on liability, causation, medical evidence, losses and procedure. The Limitation Act 1980 is a primary source for many England-and-Wales time limits. If you seek representation, use the SRA’s solicitor-checking guidance to check a solicitor or firm.
