This is a question that cannot be answered accurately
by any representative in the early stages of a claim.
Each claim is considered on its own merits.
People deal with injuries in very different ways, and
recover at different speeds and there are many factors
that intervene with every single claim.
Generally we can say that the average personal injury
claim - ie: claims involving straightforward injuries
(simple fractures - soft tissue injury - whiplash etc)
with no issue on liability - will settle within
6-12 months
Our solicitors will not recommend any offer of
settlement is accepted until we have acquired a clear
and decisive opinion from a doctor on your symptoms and
future outlook. Only then can we assess quantum (the
value) of the claim.
You should never rush settlement of an accident
claim. If you do and if you suffer a relapse or
deterioration then there is no going back. It is vital
that you get the right compensation award for your
personal injury and this can only happen when the full
facts have been considered and you are certain as to how
your recovery will proceed. Making a personal injury
claim is not about easy money or a quick compensation
process leading to a quick return.
It is about ensuring your future well being and
receiving a monetary award to compensate you for the
pain and suffering caused. At the same time your
treatment and personal needs may need to be assessed.
Always consider the bottom line that there is no
going back if you settle an accident claim early. You
will know when the time is right and - so will we.
