A personal injury does not necessarily mean a physical injury like a bruise or a broken bone, it may encompass many different types of harm that can befall you in your everyday life. That’s why our personal injury experts are experienced in dealing with a wide variety of matters. If a personal injury has been caused by someone else, you may be entitled to claim compensation for the injuries you have sustained.
It doesn’t matter whether you were in Hong Kong or abroad, at work or in a public place. Every personal injury claim is different, so any compensation you might receive depends on a number of factors such as the cause of the injuries you have sustained, the severity of your injuries and any other damages that need to be claimed for such as loss of earnings. We can help you assess the merits of any personal injuries claim. Going to court may not always be the most appropriate course of action due to the costs and inherent litigation risk. Where appropriate our professionals are shrewd negotiators who can guide you in reaching the best outcome in your circumstances.
Personal injuries can happen in many different unexpected ways. Regardless of how or where you have been injured through someone else’s negligence, we’re here to help you through it.
