Civil Compensation Claims
County Courts are located in the bulk of the UK’s major cities and deal with civil as opposed to criminal matters. They tend to handle cases involving modest sums. As a rule-of-thumb, if the value of a personal injury claim exceeds £1,000 it will be dealt with in the mainstream County Court; if it less than £1,000, it is likely to be handled by the Small Claims Court which is substantially different from an ordinary court - procedures are straightforward and clear and the atmosphere is relatively informal.

Legal Advice Essential
If you need advice on procedure some assistance is available directly from court staff, although there are restrictions on how far they can go. Furthermore, it may be a mistake to make a direct approach intending to issue proceedings with the Small Claims Court, without taking legal advice, as doing so effectively limits compensation to a maximum of £1000 when even minor injuries can result in settlements that are significantly higher.
