What are the costs of making a claim?
We operate a no win no fee policy, which means that if your claim is unsuccessful, you will not be required to pay any legal fees. Even if you are successful we guarantee that you will not be asked to pay our fees. We seek to recover our costs from the other side's insurers. We also pledge to make no deductions from your compensation. The cheque comes directly from the other side and is made payable in your name so you will receive 100% of your compensation.
What is the length of a claim?
This will depend on the extent of your injuries. Straightforward claims will be settled within a couple of months some may take slightly longer. In any event we aim to deal with your claim as efficiently and as quickly as possible. We do not recover our fees until you have been paid.
What is the value of my claim?
At this early stage it's difficult to give you a precise figure, but potentially it could easily be several thousand pounds. It will depend on the medical evidence that we obtain.
How much time do I have to pursue a claim?
If you are over 18 years of age and your accident happened in the United Kingdom, you would have 3 years from the date of your accident to make your claim.
If you are under 18th years of age, the three year limitation period would start from your 18th Birthday.
However, the sooner you start your claim, the better it is.
Will making a claim affect me?
Pursuing a claim should not affect you in any way. Claiming for the injury you have suffered is your legal right. E.g. If you have suffered an accident at work then your employer cannot legally dismiss you for bringing a claim. This is why employers have insurance policies, and it is the insurance company that will pay your compensation.
Will I need to attend the court?
It is very unlikely that you will have to go to court, 99% of our cases are dealt with, without the need to go to court.
