Our Nottingham Personal Injury Claims process
Starting a Personal Injury claim can feel like a big step, especially when you’re still coming to terms with the physical and emotional impact of what’s happened. That’s why here at Nelsons, we always aim to make things as straightforward as possible. From the very first conversation, our Personal Injury Lawyers in Nottingham take time to understand what you’ve been through, explain your options in plain English, and outline exactly what to expect next.
Once you decide to move forward, here’s how the process typically unfolds:
1. Initial consultation
We begin with a discussion about your accident and injuries. This gives us the opportunity to understand your situation and provide an honest assessment of whether you have a claim.
2. Evidence gathering
A strong claim is built on solid evidence. We’ll gather all the relevant documentation, from witness statements and accident reports to medical records and photographs, to ensure we have a clear picture of what happened and who’s responsible.
3. Independent medical assessment
You’ll meet with an independent medical expert who will assess your injuries and prepare a detailed report. This helps us understand the full impact of the incident, both now and in the future, and ensures your compensation reflects your needs.
4. Negotiation and resolution
We’ll handle all communication with insurers and other parties, negotiating on your behalf to achieve the best possible outcome. Most claims are settled without the need for court proceedings, but if your case does go to trial, our team will represent you with professionalism and determination.
Throughout the process, you’ll have a dedicated Personal Injury Lawyer in Nottingham keeping you informed at every stage. We believe in clear communication – so you always know what’s happening, why, and what comes next.

Case Study
Here from some clients that we have helped.
Workplace accident – catastrophic amputation injuries
After a life-changing accident involving industrial machinery, we supported a client with a claim against his employer for catastrophic amputation injuries and significant psychological trauma. We secured early access to defendant-funded rehabilitation, including specialist prosthetics, 24/7 care, adapted accommodation and ongoing psychological support.
The claim settled for £5.75 million, ensuring lifelong care, financial security and access to the rehabilitation and equipment needed to support long-term independence.
“Life is still very challenging, but with the support put in place, I’m learning to manage things day by day. I’ve never forgotten what Nelsons did for me in making life more bearable.”
Workplace accident – fall from height causing serious orthopaedic injuries and PTSD
After a serious fall at work, we supported a client with a claim against his employer due to his serious orthopaedic injuries and PTSD. We investigated multiple potential defendants to establish liability and secure an early admission. We arranged orthopaedic and psychological rehabilitation to support recovery and return to work.
The claim settled for £500,000, covering loss of earnings, treatment and the long-term impact on our client’s ability to continue in his previous role.
“I can’t thank the team enough – they were professional, supportive and exceeded my expectations from start to finish.”
Road traffic accident – multiple injuries and complex trauma
After a serious road traffic collision involving multiple vehicles, we supported a client with a claim for significant orthopaedic injuries, internal injuries and head trauma. We secured early funding from the Defendant for private rehabilitation and surgery, enabling quicker access to treatment and supporting recovery.
The claim settled for £400,000 after four years, reflecting the severity of injuries, ongoing treatment needs and long-term impact on daily life.
“The support I received meant I could focus on my recovery, knowing the claim was being handled and my future needs were taken into account.”
Workplace accident – fall resulting in spinal injury and paraplegia
After a fall from unsafe scaffolding, we supported a client with a claim against a homeowner in a complex liability dispute. We pursued the claim through a High Court trial, successfully establishing liability despite arguments of contributory negligence.
The claim concluded with an award of £1.43 million (after reduction), reflecting lifelong care needs and the significant impact of the injuries on our client’s independence and quality of life.
Road traffic accident – serious orthopaedic and soft tissue injuries
After suffering serious orthopaedic and soft tissue injuries as a passenger in a taxi involved in a head-on collision, we supported a client with a claim for compensation and rehabilitation. We secured funding for physiotherapy and psychological counselling and arranged support from a case manager who worked with her employer to facilitate a phased return to work.
The claim settled successfully, helping our client access ongoing treatment as needed and continue her recovery following the accident.
"The compensation has enabled me to carry on with life as normal and has given me the option to access further treatment privately, allowing things to be done much quicker and helping my recovery. I would never have got the outcome I did without you and Nelsons.’’
