\"\"Most people are now aware that if they have been involved in an accident which was not their fault, and a result of which is that they have sustained an injury, then it is likely that they will be able to make a claim for compensation<\/a>.\u00a0 This is mainly due to a greater awareness and the flurry of television adverts in recent years which briefly explain that in certain cases where you have been injured, a compensatory award may be appropriate.\u00a0 So how then, if you have been injured by a negligent third party, do you go about making a claim for compensation<\/a>?<\/p>\n

The first step is to get in touch with a quality injury lawyer<\/a> with years of experience.\u00a0 This is because they specialise in this area of law, and it is likely that they will have pursued numerous claims with similar circumstances to your own.\u00a0 This professional injury lawyer should be able to give you some free no obligation legal advice<\/strong>.\u00a0 This is certainly how we work at The Injury Lawyers<\/a>.\u00a0 At The Injury Lawyers, we also provide our services at no cost to our clients. Whether your case wins or loses, we will not be charging you<\/strong>.\u00a0 That is unless after we\u2019ve done months of work, or even years of work, you decide you no longer want to go ahead with your claim.\u00a0 The injury lawyers you chose should work under a genuine no win, no fee<\/a> agreement.<\/p>\n

Your quality injury lawyer should explain the likely stages of your claim<\/strong>.\u00a0 These are dealt with by way of the Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury claims<\/strong>. The first stage of this process is for your injury lawyer to produce on your behalf the letter of claim<\/strong>.\u00a0 This will outline all your accident details and state why we believe the negligent third party are liable for your injuries and should compensate you.\u00a0 This will then be sent to the negligent third party who has a period of 21 days to acknowledge the letter and pass it over to their insurers \/ solicitors \/ claims representatives, or start their investigations.\u00a0 By law, the other side are entitled to three months to investigate your claim<\/strong>.\u00a0 Importantly, this is not to say that they will require this full three months investigatory period.\u00a0 In many cases the other side are able to provide their position on liability much sooner<\/strong>.
\n<\/p>\n

During this three to four month period you should ensure that the quality injury lawyer you instruct has your genuine best interests at heart.\u00a0 At The Injury Lawyers<\/a>, we understand that you want your claim to be dealt with as soon as possible, and you want to know what is going on every step of the way.\u00a0 This is why we leave no stone unturned, chase the other side for their response frequently, and make sure we contact you and provide you with an update at least every fortnight.<\/p>\n
