Injury compensation - The
facts:
Generally speaking you
have 3 years to claim injury compensation. This runs from the date
of any event that led to the injury. This period is not absolute (click
here) but it is a serious timeframe that applies in the majority
of civil injury compensation claims.
Injury compensation
claims involve legal documentation and you should be prepared for
some heavy reading - but don't be put off by this because it will
definitely be worthwhile.
If you have been suffering
from your injuries then you will appreciate why we emphasise to all our
claimants that the recovery rather than just the settlement should take
precedence.
You will receive adequate
an adequate settlement if we deal with your claim but you will also receive
help with physiotherapy and treatment wherever possible.
In order to prove the
compensation claim it will be necessary for you to be medically
examined. We always arrange for local doctors to assess your
injury and report on your recovery prospects.
This then allows us to
place a value on the claim and subsequently ensure you receive a
satisfactory award.
We do not charge you
to pursue your case. ALL costs are met by
the insurers who pay the claim and you will receive your damages
100% intact.
