Below are some common questions
often asked by clients making claims:
How much will it cost?
The service will cost you nothing, whether you win or lose the claim.
Will you make any deduction from my award?
No. You will keep 100% of the compensation. This is unlike other claims
companies who charge a fee, or take a percentage of the compensation as
their fee.
How does my solicitor get paid?
If a claim is successful we get paid by the third party 'at fault' insurance
company. This does not affect your compensation in any way.
How long do I have to make a claim?
You can make a claim for personal injury if the accident has taken place
within the last three years. Criminal injury claims must be made within
two years.
If I make a claim for an accident at work, will my employer sack
me?
It's illegal for an employer to sack you for making a personal injury claim
against him. Employers have legal obligations to ensure that employees are
working in the safest way possible, bearing in mind the job you do and the
types of materials and equipment you handle.
How do I know if I am eligible to make a claim?
If you think the accident wasn't your fault and it happened within the last
three years, simply complete the online form, making sure you include your
contact details. We will respond promptly and let you know if you are eligible.
How does the process work?
If you meet the criteria to make a claim, we will then act on your behalf
to prepare and submit the necessary paperwork to the relevant organisations,
keeping you informed of progress every step of the way.
Usually, the whole process can take place over the phone and by email. However,
if a claim is of a serious or complex nature we may request a meeting with
you.
How long does it take?
Simple cases can take as little as six weeks, while more complex cases may
take up to two years. We are experienced practitioners in this field and
always endeavour to complete a case as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Will I have to go to court?
It's unlikely. 85% of claims are settled out of court.
