Can I Claim Compensation?

To find out, fill out our simple on-line enquiry form or call us on 0800 465879.

 

 

How do I start my claim?

Call us now and we'll get your claim underway. We will collect all the necessary documents and negotiate a speedy settlement.

 

 

How much does it cost?


It will not cost you anything. If we accept your case, we will pursue it under a ‘No Win, No Fee’ arrangement.  That means it is free to you.

But what does ‘No Win, No Fee’ actually mean?

‘No Win, No Fee’ agreements were introduced by the government to help people injured in accidents gain access to justice without financial risk.  They are also known as Conditional Fee Arrangements (CFAs).

So:

  • you don’t have to pay solicitors fees while the case proceeds
  • if your case doesn't succeed you won’t have to pay the other side’s solicitors fees
  • if you win your case the opposing side pays your legal costs and expenses  we take out an insurance policy to cover the expenses incurred in pursuing a claim and to cover the other side’s legal expenses if your case is unsuccessful (you don’t pay the cost of this policy, we do)

In some circumstances a ‘No Win, No Fee’ arrangement may not be appropriate.  In these instances we will be able to advise you about the alternatives that are available to you.

 

 

What do I receive if I win my claim for compensation?

All of your compensation .  There is nothing to worry about.  You will receive all of your damages as long as you have kept to the terms and conditions of the ‘No Win, No Fee’ agreement.

 

 

How long will my case take?


We are dedicated to handling claims as quickly and efficiently as possible.  A typical case which involves talking to the other side's insurance company, obtaining a medical report and an offer of compensation can take from between three and six months.

 


How does the claims process work?

Since 1999, insurance companies have been ordered to co-operate with personal injury claimants under a set of court rules called the ‘Protocol’.

Insurance companies have five weeks to acknowledge receipt of a claim

They then have another three months to consider whether they accept the claim or not.

If they accept the claim they have another three weeks after they have seen the medical evidence to make an offer of compensation

If the insurance company does not admit fault or does not make an offer that is acceptable to the claimant, then the case goes to court for trial.

There is a strict timetable in place to determine when a case goes to court for trial.

A disputed case will take about eight months before coming to trial.

In cases where fault has been admitted it will usually take approximately three months to settle from the date liability has been admitted.

 

 

Can I claim for incidental expenses? 

Normally you can claim for incidental expenses, for example travel costs to and from hospital.  You should always ask for receipts and keep these safely.  It will help if you make a list of your expenses, with dates and a brief explanation of why the expense has occurred.
