Injury Claims FAQs

Who will deal with my claim?

Your injury claim will be dealt with by a very experienced solicitor who is also a Member of the Law Society’s Personal Injury Panel. We believes that it is of paramount importance for his clients to always feel able to contact their solicitor when they wish to.see http://www.sra.org.uk/solicitors/accreditation/personal-injury-accreditation-scheme.page

How much compensation will I get?

It is not possible to give an accurate assessment of an injury claim, until all medical and financial loss evidence has been obtained. We will however give an indication of what level of award is reasonable to expect after we have taken initial instructions from you.

How long will my injury claim take?

As no two cases are the same it would not be professional to say precisely how long an injury claim will take from start to conclusion. Where the injuries are minor and your opponent accepts fault for them, then a claim can be concluded much faster than when then the injuries are more complex and your opponent disputes that they caused them.

Will I need to attend a Court?

The vast majority of claims for personal injuries are concluded by way of a negotiated settlement without the need to attend a Court. The only cases that may require a court hearing are those where liability is disputed, damages cannot be agreed or where any agreed settlement has to be approved by the Court. (See If the personal accident claim goes to trial)
