You are entitled to make a personal injury claim if you were injured in an accident for which you were not responsible. It is however necessary to show that the person who was responsible for causing the accident was negligent. If you have been the innocent victim of an accident then a claim can be made for pain and suffering and any financial losses. Most people who consider applying for compensation are unaware about how to proceed and thats where we come in to help you through the complexities of a compensation case.
There are many formal definitions of negligence, which so far as UK law is concerned, should amount to the same thing. One of the most commonly used definitions of negligence used in personal injury claim settlements is as follows :-
Lack of due care or failure to do what is reasonable and prudent under the circumstances. Omission of something that a reasonable person, guided by those considerations that ordinarily regulate the conduct of human beings, would do, or doing something that a prudent, reasonable person would not do.
Our solicitors are all members of the Law Society panel of personal injury experts and are specialists in the field of accident compensation. Cases are dealt with on a no win no fee basis and compensation is paid in full with no deductions whatsoever. There is no necessity to finance your personal injury claim in any respect and you will not be asked to take out any loan or pay for any insurance. Our claims are guaranteed to be completely risk free.
Compensation in a personal injury claim is awarded for pain and suffering which is calculated by using other previously decided cases as a guideline and for financial losses which may include loss of wages, diminution of future wages, loss of congenial employment, damaged or lost personal property, medical bills and general expenses. Receipts or estimates of costs incurred will be used to calculate the worth of the tangible losses. The overall amount of compensation that may be awarded depends on a number of factors including :-
- the extent and severity of the injuries
- the overall recovery period
- whether or not there are any long-term symptoms
- monetary losses caused by the accident
- whether you were partly to blame
There are strict time limits on making application for compensation which must normally be settled or legal proceedings must have been issued in a court of law within three years from the date of an accident or the date of discovery of the injury. The general limitation period does have some exceptions including different time periods for children and for people who cannot manage their own affairs due to mental illness. Also the period does not start running until the injury becomes obvious. The court has a wide discretion to defer the start of the period or extend the period but the court rarely applies its discretion and it is important that you appoint a specialist solicitor immediately for advice if you are in any doubt about these matters.
A personal injury is inconvenient, painful and usually problematic and often brings with it a series of troubles and complications that can make life difficult. It is for this reason that the law facilitates damages claims to compensate for injuries and financial losses. If you have been unfortunate enough to suffer as a result of negligence by another person in the last three years then you are legally entitled to claim. This could include compensation the pain you have suffered, loss of earnings, the potential loss of earnings from future work, any mental issues you may have suffered and physical problems that have caused you concern. These problems are serious and the courts operate to protect the interest of people just like you who have experienced them.
