Personal Injury Claims for Czech Clients

Czech nationals work across a wide range of sectors in the UK, from IT and hospitality to construction and healthcare. If you have been injured because of another party’s negligence, you may have the right to claim compensation under English law. The English courts generally award considerably higher damages for pain and suffering than the Czech legal system, and the process is more predictable in clear-cut liability cases.

We handle workplace injuries, road traffic accidents, and accidents in public places for Czech clients across England and Wales, all on a No Win, No Fee basis.

Medical Negligence Claims for Czech Clients

Accessing NHS care can involve unfamiliar processes for Czech nationals, and navigating this in a second language can mean important information is missed. When that leads to a clinical error, such as a wrong diagnosis, a delayed referral, or a surgical complication, our Czech solicitors can help you assess whether you have a medical negligence claim.

No Win, No Fee, How It Works

We believe cost should not stand between you and justice. That is why almost all of our cases are run on a Conditional Fee Agreement basis, which works as follows:

  • No upfront costs. Your claim begins without any payment from you.
  • If your claim fails, you do not pay for our legal work.
  • If your claim succeeds, a pre-agreed success fee is deducted from your compensation. The remainder is yours.
  • After the Event insurance can be arranged to protect against the other side’s costs in the event the claim is lost.

Our Czech solicitors explain the fee arrangement in plain terms before you make any decision.

Why Osbornes Law?

  • Czech-speaking solicitors. You can speak to us in Czech. We do not rely on interpreters for client meetings, and we explain legal concepts in language that makes sense.
  • Decades of personal injury expertise. Osbornes Law has been helping injured clients since the 1960s. We have the experience and the resources to handle straightforward and complex claims alike.
  • Independent recognition. We are listed as a leading personal injury and medical negligence firm in both Legal 500 and Chambers UK.
  • No need to come to London. Our offices are in Camden, but we act for Czech clients across England and Wales using phone, email and video call.
  • A solicitor you can rely on. Every client is allocated a named solicitor who manages their case personally. We do not pass files between departments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a Czech-speaking solicitor I can speak to?

Yes. Our team includes Czech-speaking solicitors who can handle your case entirely in Czech if you prefer. All key documents and advice can be provided in Czech or English.

I am based outside London, can you still help me?

Yes. We act for clients across England and Wales. Most contact is via phone, video call and email, and in-person attendance at our London offices is rarely required.

Does my right to claim depend on my visa or residency status?

No. Personal injury and medical negligence claims in England and Wales are based on where the incident occurred, not the claimant’s nationality or immigration status.

How long does a typical claim take?

A clear-cut personal injury claim might settle in a matter of months. Claims involving more complex injuries, disputed liability or medical negligence typically take between one and three years. We keep you informed throughout and always explain the reason for any delay.

What if I think I may have contributed to the accident?

You may still be able to claim. Under the law of contributory negligence, compensation can be reduced proportionally to reflect your share of responsibility, but you are not automatically barred from claiming simply because you played some part in the circumstances of the accident.
