What Is A Personal Injury Claim?

Personal injury claims are a legal process to get compensation for injuries you have sustained that were not your fault. It involves telling the other person that you are making a claim, proving who was at fault for the accident. Further, it involves agreeing on how much compensation is appropriate. Most personal injury claims resolve without anyone having to go to court. But we support you through every aspect of your personal injury claim whether it settles quickly or not.

Who Is Able To Make A Personal Injury Claim?

Anyone who suffer injury in a public place and it is not their fault may make a claim. Some of the most common types of personal injury claims include accidents at work, car accidents, and medical negligence claims. When making a personal injury claim, you must usually know who you believe was to blame for your injury. This could be your employer, the driver of another car, or the doctor who was responsible for your care. In some unusual situations, it may be possible to make a personal injury claim without knowing who was responsible. This is usually the case in incidents involving unknown drivers (‘hit and run’ accidents) or where you were the victim of a crime and were injured as a result. In those instances, it may still be possible to make a personal injury claim, but the procedure may be slightly different.

If your kin make a claim on your behalf

In some of the most severe cases of personal injury, the victim may receive substantial brain injuries or may even not have survived the accident. In those instances, their next of kin may be able to make a claim to hold those responsible accountable. So if the instances are these, the help of an experienced team of personal injury specialists can be invaluable in allowing you to cope with the losses you have suffered and pursuing your personal injury claim at the same time. If you are in this situation, please call us on 0121 565 4317 or claim online and our expert team will call you back to discuss your case.

Who Decides How Much Compensation I Deserve?

The amount of compensation you may be eligible for as a result of your personal injury claim will depend on your specific circumstances. There are official guidelines, which have been drawn up by the Judicial College which show the range of compensation that can be expected for a particular injury. These ranges tend to be very wide, to allow for a large amount of variety within a single injury. There are also other factors that influence how much compensation you might receive. It includes any expenses you suffer because of your personal injury or if you receive multiple injuries in the same accident.

If both parties are unable to reach an agreement, we may need to go to court. In almost all personal injury claims, the amount of compensation is agreed by negotiation between the parties. Although we are acting on your behalf, it is always your decision whether to accept an offer of compensation. We will give you advice, but the final decision to accept or reject the amount of compensation offered is yours.

What If My Personal Injury Claim Is Unsuccessful?

If we are unfortunately not able to win your personal injury claim, it is important that we don’t leave you out of pocket. This is why we recommend that you have a no win no fee agreement with ourselves. Under a no win no fee agreement, we only take payment from the compensation you will receive. This means that you will not have to pay anything if you do not get any compensation. By taking a percentage of your compensation payout, we are able to offer you a risk-free way to resolve your personal injury claim and receive the compensation you are entitled to.

Not all personal injury claims are eligible for us to take on a no win no fee basis, for example, medical negligence claims. If we are not able to offer you a no win no fee arrangement, we will discuss other funding options with you.
