Q15. Where can I find a personal injury lawyer?

A15. If you are intending to claim compensation for a personal injury then engage a legal representative such as a lawyer to do so.

Find a personal injury lawyer who specialises in accident claims and has the knowledge and experience to do so.

It is important that you find the right lawyer for you so do some research and spend some time doing so.

The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) is a good source of information about finding a lawyer and has a section dedicated to this on their website.

Another option is the Law Society: or speak to an adviser at the Citizens Advice Bureau.

To find out more visit our taking legal action section which contains information about finding a lawyer, solicitor or claims assessor.
