FAQ's

Why should I bring a claim ?

You have a right to claim compensation and most people or organisations responsible for your injury will have insurance cover specifically for this purpose.

If you do not claim then you may lose out financially, for example loss of earnings, medication expenses, travel costs to and from medical appointments etc.

 If you are injured by someone you have a right to claim and there will almost always be insurance in place to pay your compensation.


How much compensation will I receive ?

You are entitled to claim not only for your injury, but also for any financial losses suffered as a result of the injury, including:

Loss of earnings, including overtime and bonuses
Travel to and from medical appointments
Medication including prescriptions
Private medical treatment
Care given by members of your family
Damage caused to any of your personal effects

There are many items for which you can make a claim. If you have a claim not listed above we can still help you,  and this will be discussed with you in detail as your claim proceeds.


Can I claim for private medical treatment ?

Does it matter where I live ?

What does No Win, NoFee, No Risk mean ?

This means that you can have a firm of specialist personal injury Solicitors conducting your personal injury claim with no financial risk to yourself.

If the case is unsuccessful then we don't get paid and you don't pay anything.

If the case is successful then your compensation and legal costs will be claimed from the Defendant's insurance company. You can therefore claim compensation for your injury and financial losses with the assistance of a firm of specialist personal injury Solicitors without financial risk to yourself.

What are my chances of success ?

Your claim will be initially assessed and this assessment will be undertaken by an experienced and specialised firm of personal injury Solicitors.

If the firm of specialist personal injury Solicitors thinks your case does not have sufficient prospects of success then you will be informed straight away. This information will be provided by way of a FREE 'no obligation' discussion.

If your case does have reasonable prospects of success then you will be informed and arrangements will be made to discuss matters with you further on a 'no win, no fee, no risk' basis. 

If neccesary we can arrange to visit you at home to discuss matters further.


Do I have to go to court ?

Please do not let the worry of attending court put you off making a claim for compensation. The vast majority of claims settle without going to court, in fact very few cases ever do go to court.

Whilst going to court can never be ruled out there is a very high percentage chance that you will not need to attend court at all.


Does making a claim involve a lot of my time ?

It can be difficult to assess how long a claim takes to conclude. Some cases will conclude within months, whilst other cases can take longer, especially if the injuries are more severe.

The length of time the case is likely to take will be discussed with you at the initial consultation and throughout the duration of your case.

On a 'No win, No fee, No Risk' basis a firm of specialist personal injury Solicitors will not get paid unless the case is successful and will not get paid until the conclusion of the case. It is therefore not in the firm of Solicitors interest to prolong the case any longer than necessary.

One real advantage with 'No win, No fee  is that the firm of specialist personal injury Solicitors has to win your case to get paid, and only gets paid after they have won the case.

We aim to provide you with a fast and efficient service and one which has no financial risk to yourself. We also aim to inconvenience you as little as possible, and for that reason we would try meet you at your home at a time convenient to you for the initial consultation.

We deal with many aspects of your case without your involvement, and when your involvement is needed we deal with matters by telephone.

You are likely to have to see a medical expert or consultant instructed by us, in order to obtain a medical report on your injuries, even if you have recovered from these injuries. This is important both to assess the extent of any injuries, and therefore the amount of compensation claimable, and to ensure you receive any necessary treatment to help your rcovery. 

If treatment is recommended we are usually able to get appointments, paid for privately by the Defendant's insurance company, far quicker than you could see a similar consultant under the NHS. 

Early diagnosis and treatment of an injury can improve prospects of recovery. 

Generally contact with you will be by telephone, letters and/or e-mails.
