Claims for Injury
Claims for injury are one of the most common issues dealt with by courts and solicitors in the UK.
Anyone who has been injured by another person’s act, or failure to act responsibly, deserves compensation for the pain and suffering they have been through as well as the setback it has caused them. They will be able to get this by making a personal injury claim against the person or organisation responsible for their injury.
Who can make a claim for injury?
Anyone who has been injured badly enough for it to affect their day to day life may have a legitimate claim for compensation, if someone else caused them to be injured or was negligent in allowing it to happen. Claims usually have to be made within three years of the injury being sustained or discovered and are often made for things like car accidents or slips on a wet floor.
How long will my claim take?
Claiming for personal injury can be complicated, and will usually take at least 2-3 months to be completed. Obtaining the services of an expert solicitor will help speed things up and ensure that claims run smoothly, they will do most of the work for you and will need a bit of time to gather all the necessary evidence.
How much compensation will I get?
This is entirely dependent on the situation; each claim is treated individually and the amount you receive will be related to the severity of your injuries, the setbacks they have caused you and the level of responsibility the defendant has. Your compensation will also cover any costs that your injury has resulted in, such as medical expenses or taxi fares.
Will it cost me anything?
No. Claims for injury can usually be made on a no win no fee basis, which means that if you don’t receive any compensation your solicitor will not charge you a fee. In most cases the other side will also have to pay your legal costs, so you will keep all of the compensation.
People who suffer injuries because of the carelessness of others deserve to be compensated for their loss. If you want to claim for an injury sustained in the last three years; get started today by using our find a solicitor service.
