How do I know if I have a claim?
If you feel you were not at fault in your accident you can make a claim. As long as the accident was within three years, a successful claim can be made.
However, if you are unsure, try giving our friendly team a call to discuss your case.
What should I do if I’m injured?
If you are injured in the event of an accident, it is best to get medical assistance in order to assess your injuries. You should see a GP or if you require immediate help, to seek advice from a local Accident & Emergency department.
Once you start you claim, we will appoint a medical expert to assess your injuries. Following the assessment a report will be made detail your injuries, give instructions on recovery times and whether further treatment is required such as physiotherapy to help aid your recovery. This assessment will help aid the value of compensation you receive.
How long do I have to claim?
You have 3 years from the point of accident to make a claim.
In the case of a person under 18 years, they have 3 years from their 18th birthday to make a claim for compensation.
What is the cost of making a claim?
None. If you win, the insurance company of the other party at fault will pay all costs. If you lose you will not need to pay anything.
If I make a claim against my work place, can they dismiss me?
Your employer can not dismiss you for making a claim. If this does happen it can be unfair dismissal. Your employer should have insurance cover for you and therefore, if you make a claim, the insurance company will pay for the damages you have suffered and not your employer.
How do I know if I have a claim?
You have a claim if you are not a fault. The injury can be either physical or psychological or both. The guilty party could have been a driver, employer or fellow colleague, or local council.
How much compensation can I get?
This all depends on the injury you have. Different injuries and how long it will take to recover will attract different amounts. The amounts offered are based upon how similar cases have been awarded previously. You can use our interactive tool to get an idea of compensation amount you may receive.
Is there lots of paperwork?
No. We and the solicitors will take care of your paperwork. You will need to make sure the details of your claim are correct and accept or reject any offers that are made.
