GENERAL NOTES
ACCIDENT CLAIMS INFORMATION
Even the
most minor of accidents can lead to a personal injury. The disruption for you or
your family can be severe and if the accident was not your fault in the
first place then it is entirely appropriate that you should find out if
you are entitled to compensation.
Making a
personal injury
claim in today's legal environment is far easier than ever before for
the simple reason that the NO WIN NO FEE concept is central to the
process. What this essentially means is that if a lawyer agrees to take
your case on - he also agrees to charge you nothing if you lose the
case. This gives you a 100% guarantee that should the worst happen you
will not have a legal bill to pay. The lawyer in return receives a bonus
as part of his bill which is paid by the insurers of the negligent party
- if they win your case. So they are not taking on the risk without some
reward but what underpins this arrangement is the safeguard for you that
you will not owe anything if you fail to win the claim.

the notes below in this section to learn more about The Claims
Connection personal injury claims scheme.

DO I ACTUALLY NEED A PERSONAL INJURY SOLICITOR?
You do not
necessarily need a solicitor to pursue a claim but if you have suffered
personal injury then it is highly recommended that you do
in fact instruct one. Insurers would be quite happy for you to deal
direct with them because they have experienced staff who will negotiate
a quick and potentially satisfactory settlement for you. But your
chances of a fair settlement are substantially reduced if you do not use
a personal injury solicitor.
Your
solicitor will advise you of exactly what you are entitled to claim and
what level of compensation you should receive. The solicitor will then
negotiate a fair claim settlement on your behalf ensuring that you recover
everything that you are entitled to. Do not accept anything less.

WILL I HAVE TO PAY ANY COSTS
With The
Claims Connection scheme - NO FEES WILL BE PAID BY YOU - this applies to
all accidents in England &Wales. All costs will be recovered as part of your
compensation claim and the losing party picks up the bill. If we dont
win your case then our NO WIN NO FEE arrangement means that you still
owe us nothing. We have more information about no win no fee if required. Read more here.

WHAT ABOUT LOANS AND INJURY CLAIM INSURANCE?
We do not
ask you to pay interest or take out a loan on any insurance that we deem
necessary to fight your case. If our solicitor decides that you do in
fact need insurance to protect your interests then they will obtain this
at no cost to you. You may wish to learn more about the need for
insurance in certain personal injury cases. Read more here.
DO I RECEIVE 100% COMPENSATION
Yes - you do
receive 100% of your compensation award. We do not make any deductions from your
claim because your damages reflect your pain and suffering and belong to
you.
WHAT CAN I CLAIM FOR
In relation
to a claim for personal injury you can claim for - pain and suffering, loss of
amenity, treatment costs physiotherapy if such treatment is recommended, loss of
earnings, miscellaneous items and potentially many other items in the case of more serious
personal injuries.
