Compensation claims - The
facts:
Generally speaking you
have 3 years to make a for your personal injury -
this runs from the date
of any event that led to the actual injury. This period is not etched in stone (click
here) but it is a serious deadline that applies in the majority
of civil compensation claim cases.
A claim
for personal injury always involves legal
documentation and you should be prepared for
some heavy reading - don't be put off because it will definitely be
a worthwhile exercise.
If you have been suffering
from your injuries then you will appreciate why we emphasise to all our
clients that the recovery rather than the compensation should take
precedence with any claim.
You will receive
appropriate damages if we deal with your compensation claim but you will also receive
help with physiotherapy and treatment wherever possible.
In order to prove your claim it will be necessary for you to be medically
examined. We arrange for local doctors to assess your
injuries and report on your recovery prospects.
This then allows us to
place a value on the claim and subsequently ensure you receive a
satisfactory claim award.
We do not charge you
one penny to pursue your compensation claim in England & Wales. ALL costs are met by
the insurers who pay the compensation and you will receive your damages
100% intact.
