Making a claim
When we receive your enquiry we will assess the initial information you gave us and contact you to discuss your claim in more detail.
Cost
We are transparent about costs and usually offer a ‘No Win No Fee’ arrangement to fund your case. This means that if you win your case you will have to pay us our fees and disbursements (such as the cost of an Insurance Premium if you take out Legal Expenses Insurance to protect yourself).
We recover the majority of the legal costs from your Opponent or their Insurers. Although there is often a deduction from your compensation which is capped so that the maximum amount that can be taken from any compensation awarded to you and put towards payment of your legal costs, is 25%.
If you lose your claim you usually do not have to pay anything, including not having to pay for disbursements.
What can I claim for
Compensation for the pain and suffering that you have experienced, and any future pain and suffering.
Compensation for medical costs, rehabilitation and physiotherapy that you may need or have already paid for.
Compensation for any loss of earnings that you have had, future loss of income that you would have earned, and any past or future financial losses or expenses caused directly by your injury.
How long does it take
The length of time to conclude a claim varies from case to case depending on a number of factors which we may not have control of.
We have concluded cases within 6 months if claims are straight forward, the other side have admitted responsibility quickly, and the injury was not very serious. Other cases have been resolved within 12 months and some can take a number of years to conclude if they are for very seriously injured claimants or involve very complicated legal issues, or the opponent denies fault and the case has to be taken through Court Proceedings.
Help with rehabilitation and support
We may be able to persuade your Opponent to pay for the costs of any rehabilitation and support you may need, or to arrange that rehabilitation and support ourselves and to claim the costs back through your claim.
Area of claim coverage
We deal with accidents from all over England and Wales and also for accidents that occur whilst on holiday abroad.
