PERSONAL INJURY SOLICITOR
We offer a risk free compensation claims service. Win or lose there is no charge. Our network of specialist solicitors are all members of the Law Society panel of personal injury experts. For free advice from a specialist personal injury solicitor either use the helpline or complete and send the contact form.
Once a personal injury solicitor has judged that your claim is likely to succeed, we will send a letter of claim to the person responsible for your accident. This letter is usually dealt with by insurers who will try to settle the claim out of court. They
have a total of three months to investigate the issue before they must give us an answer
on whether they will be admitting liability and paying compensation or denying the allegation. If there
is no response within this time period then legal proceedings can be started to
help establish liability. Often at this stage the insurers will offer compensation however if it is insufficient we will take your case to court to allow a judge to decide on the appropriate level of damages.
Compensation is intended to make up for the
injuries and problems you have sustained. The amount is intended to put you back in the
position where you would have been had the injuries not been sustained. Damages can be paid for emotional and physical problems and financial loss.
