Claims process - Key stages
At our initial free consultation, we will discuss the claims process in detail and how your particular case is expected to proceed to ensure that you fully understand what will happen.
There are however 3 basic stages as outlined below:
Stage 1 - Funding
We will discuss your specific options although most people will use a “No Win No Fee” agreement with insurance protection. (See Frequently Asked Questions)
Stage 2 – Liability
We will investigate and gather the evidence necessary to prove that your Opponent has caused your injury, including their identity, insurers and precisely why they are at fault and how your injury could have been avoided. We will launch your claim against your Opponent and enter into negotiations with their representative. Consideration will also be given to any Rehabilitation needs that you may have whilst negotiations are ongoing.
Stage 3 – Damages (or compensation)
We will identify and gather the evidence to prove the nature and extent of your injury and consequential financial losses and expenses as well as any future ongoing damage and expenses to enable your claim to be properly assessed and valued. We will enter into settlement negotiations to ensure that you receive the compensation that you deserve.
We are committed to making the claims process of pursuing a claim as straightforward as possible and to achieve an out of Court settlement at the earliest opportunity. If however your Opponent will not accept fault or we cannot agree on the amount that you should receive in compensation, we will proceed to Court to resolve the dispute for you.
Whilst this will take longer to resolve, we are committed to your case throughout to make sure that you receive the best outcome possible.
