As we continue to support #RoadSafetyWeek, our Personal Injury team have created a simple guide of what you can expect should you find yourself having to contact our team after falling victim to a road crash.
- Limitation: You will generally have 3 years from the date of the accident, to bring a claim. These rules must be followed, so try to make enquiries to start your claim as soon as you can.
- Investigating the facts: Upon agreeing to take on your claim, we will begin to access things such as police records, CCTV recordings and contact possible witnesses to establish what happened and who is at fault. We will assess the extent of your injuries and the out of pocket expenses you have incurred.
- Rehabilitation: Using our extensive experience, we can advise whether you may benefit from rehabilitation to help support your recovery. We can put you in touch with a medical practitioner who is best suited to help the injuries you have sustained.
- Alternative dispute resolution: Our team are aware of the financial and emotional effect going to court can have. We always aim to settle your claim outside of court where possible.
- Court proceedings: If liability is denied by the Defendant, the case will go to court. Court procedures, lengths and expectations vary from case-to-case but we will be there to support you every step of the way.
- Settling: Whether inside or outside of court, once liability is admitted and a level of compensation is agreed, you will receive your payment and we will close your file.
