If you have been injured in an accident that was somebody else’s fault, then you have the legal right to financial compensation. However, to get the compensation you are legally entitled to, you must make a personal injury claim, and that is where UK solicitors can help.
UK claim lawyer’s injury solicitors will represent you in your claim, and manage the claims process for you from start to finish. By enlisting the help of an injury lawyer, you can be sure that a strong case will be built on your behalf. An injury lawyer will act on your behalf, for the entirety of the claims process, and communicate your demands to the other side.
Legal Advice:
If you have not yet decided whether you would like to proceed with a claim, you can still get free, no obligation legal advice. The advice you receive should make you better informed about your rights, and how strong your case is, so that you can decide what to do.
The best way to get immediate legal advice, is by calling a claims helpline that is operated by a law firm. Helplines have experienced and compassionate claims advisors at the other end, who will discuss your case with you. They can help you to establish your elibility for compensation and provide you with an estimated payout for your personal injuries. Based on the information you provide, they will also be able to offer an estimated claim timeframe for completion, as well as information on the next steps you can take.
Proceeding with a Claim
If you do decide to proceed with a personal injury claim, you will be interviewed by your solicitor, to establish the facts surrounding your case, and you will attend a medical examination 2-3 weeks into the claims process, so that that the extent of your injuries, an estimated recovery period and a prognosis for the future can be established.
Aside from these things, your input into the claims process will be minimal, so that you can concentrate on recovering from your injuries. You can also return to work during the claims process, should you feel fit to do so, and on the advice of your GP.
The claims process will be managed from start to finish by your UK claim lawyer. They will collect all the necessary evidence to build your case, and they will compile this in such a way that satisfies the other side. Many personal injury claims can be processed in just 8-12 weeks, depending on their complexity. Your solicitor will be able to give you a better estimate, once they understand the circumstances surrounding your accident and injuries.
