Can I make a personal injury claim in Surrey?
Yes, if you were injured in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence anywhere in Surrey. Personal injury solicitors acting for Surrey clients assess whether there are grounds to claim, investigate the evidence, arrange medical evidence and negotiate with the insurer. Whether a claim can be taken on depends on the circumstances, the evidence and when the accident happened, not on where you live.

Personal injury solicitors across Surrey
Surrey covers a wide range of local conditions. A claim arising from a motorway collision near the M25 junctions at Woking raises different issues from a fall on the cobbles in Guildford or an injury in a depot beside Heathrow at Staines. We have written a separate page for each of the towns below so that the local context is accurate rather than generic.

The county town, on the A3, with a steep cobbled High Street, a university and a large professional services sector.

Personal injury solicitors WeybridgeWhat types of accident are most common in Surrey?
Surrey’s accident profile follows the shape of the county. A dense motorway network, a substantial construction and logistics base, and historic towns built on hills and old paving each produce their own kind of claim.
Road traffic accidents
The M25, M3, M23, A3 and A24 carry heavy traffic, and the motorway junctions around Woking, Guildford and Redhill are among the busiest in the South East.
Road traffic accident claimsAccidents at work
Construction and development work, logistics and distribution around Heathrow and the reservoirs, healthcare, and farming and rural estates across the county produce machinery, manual handling and working at height injuries.
Accidents at work claimsSlips, trips and falls
Surrey's historic towns have steep streets, cobbles and older paving, and falls in shops, car parks and on those uneven surfaces are a regular source of claims.
Public place accident claimsSerious injuries
Higher speed collisions on Surrey's motorways and serious construction incidents tend to produce more significant injuries, where rehabilitation, future care and future loss of earnings all need careful assessment.
Serious injury solicitorsRail and station accidents
Surrey has an extensive rail network serving London commuters. Falls on stairs and platforms, and accidents at stations, are the kind of claim that arises from that daily travel.
Public place accident claimsFalls on defective pavements
Across Surrey's towns, falls on cracked, raised or poorly maintained paving are common. These turn on how long the defect had existed and whether the highway authority knew or should have known about it.
How we help with a claimHow does a personal injury claim work in Surrey?
Every claim is different, and not every case goes through every stage. In outline, though, a personal injury claim in Surrey usually follows this course.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Tell us what happened | Complete the free assessment or telephone the team. A short account of the accident, the injury and the date is enough to begin. |
| 2. Initial assessment | The circumstances, the injuries and who may have been responsible are considered, along with the evidence that exists and whether the claim is still in time. |
| 3. Investigation and evidence | Where a case is accepted, evidence may be gathered: accident reports, photographs, CCTV where it still exists, witness accounts and employer records. |
| 4. Medical evidence | Independent medical evidence is usually needed to establish the injuries, the treatment required and the likely prognosis. |
| 5. Assessing financial loss | Past and possible future losses are considered, including lost earnings, treatment costs, care and travel. |
| 6. Negotiation | The claim is usually presented to the defendant or their insurer and negotiated, with interim payments considered where appropriate. |
| 7. Settlement or proceedings | Many claims settle through negotiation, while some require court proceedings. Where proceedings are needed, the reasons are explained before they are issued. |
You can read more about each stage on our how our personal injury solicitors can help page, which explains what happens from first enquiry to resolution.

Frequently asked questions about personal injury claims in Surrey
Do you have an office in Surrey?
No. We do not have a physical office in Surrey, and we do not claim to. Our registered address is in Luton, and we provide access to personal injury solicitors who act for clients across the whole of Surrey. Cases are handled by telephone, email, WhatsApp and video call, and a client can be seen at a convenient location where a meeting is genuinely needed. You should not read anything on this page as suggesting we have premises in the county.
Can I make a personal injury claim if I live in Surrey?
Yes, if you were injured in an accident caused by someone else's negligence anywhere in Surrey. Whether a claim can be taken on depends on the circumstances, the evidence and when the accident happened, not on where you live. Personal injury solicitors acting for Surrey clients assess the merits, investigate the evidence, instruct medical experts where needed and negotiate with the insurer on your behalf. There is no requirement to attend a solicitor's office in person.
How long do I have to make a personal injury claim in Surrey?
For many claims the general limitation period is three years from the date of the accident, or from your later date of knowledge where that applies. Different rules can apply to children, to people who lack mental capacity, and to fatal accident and criminal injury claims. Because evidence such as CCTV and witness recollection is easier to gather early, it is worth taking advice well before any deadline feels close.
What types of accident are most common in Surrey?
Surrey's accident mix follows its roads and its geography. Collisions on the M25, M3, M23, A3 and A24 are common, particularly around the motorway junctions and where traffic filters into the local road network. Construction work, logistics around Heathrow and the reservoirs, farming and rural estates produce machinery, manual handling and working at height injuries. Slips, trips and falls on the older paving and steep streets of the county's historic towns complete the picture.
Can I claim if I was injured in a collision on the M25, M3 or M23 in Surrey?
Yes, if another road user's negligence caused your injuries. Surrey's motorways and trunk roads carry high volumes of traffic at speed, and the junctions around the M25, M3 and M23 are among the busiest in the region. Collisions on them tend to be more serious than low speed shunts in built up areas. Evidence usually comes from the police report, vehicle damage and your medical records, and dash camera footage is particularly valuable. Where the other driver was uninsured or untraced, a claim through the Motor Insurers' Bureau may be possible.
Can I claim if I was injured working in Surrey?
Yes, where the injury was caused by unsafe working conditions, inadequate training, defective equipment or a failure to provide a safe system of work. Surrey has substantial construction, logistics, healthcare, agricultural and professional services work, and employers' liability insurers usually meet these claims. Report the accident in the accident book immediately and ask for a copy of the entry, because the employer's own records often become important evidence.
How much compensation could I receive for an injury in Surrey?
There is no figure that can be applied to an injury by name. Compensation is assessed on the medical evidence, the effect the injury has on your life, your age and circumstances, and the financial losses it has caused. Our page on personal injury compensation explains how both the general damages and the financial losses are worked out, and why a reliable figure has to come from the evidence in your own case rather than from a table of averages.
Can I claim on a No Win No Fee basis in Surrey?
Suitable cases may be accepted under a Conditional Fee Agreement, commonly called No Win No Fee, subject to an assessment of liability, the evidence, the prospects of success and proportionality. If the claim does not succeed you generally do not pay our basic legal fees, and if it does a success fee may be payable. In many personal injury claims the legal cap is 25% of the relevant categories of damages including VAT.
Will I have to attend court in Surrey?
Most personal injury claims settle through negotiation without a hearing, so attending court is uncommon. Where proceedings are issued, the case is usually dealt with at a county court convenient for where you live, and Surrey has county courts at Guildford, Redhill and elsewhere. Where a hearing is needed, we explain what is involved well in advance.
Which parts of Surrey do you cover?
We provide access to personal injury solicitors acting for clients across the whole of Surrey. We have written separate pages for Guildford, Woking, Epsom, Redhill, Reigate, Camberley, Farnham, Staines-upon-Thames, Dorking and Weybridge, covering the local accident mix, the roads and stations that shape it and how claims work in each area.
