\"\"So – how do you make a claim for compensation?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The best thing you can possibly do is to get in touch with a quality injury lawyer<\/a> who specialises solely in personal injury claims<\/a>, and who has years and years of experience.\u00a0 They are best able to help you through your claim for compensation.\u00a0 After all, they do this everyday for a living.\u00a0 This professional injury lawyer will also be able to provide you with free legal advice to make sure that you have excellent prospects of success for your claim.<\/p>\n

If your injury lawyer genuinely believes that you have a claim for compensation<\/a>, they ask you for all the detailed circumstances of your accident so that they can produce a letter of claim<\/strong>.\u00a0 A letter of claim is the first contact you \u2013 well, the injury lawyers on your behalf – have with the other side; that is the negligent third party.\u00a0 This letter will detail the exact nature of your accident, the location of your accident, and details of your injury.\u00a0 It will then proceed to set out why we believe the Defendant is negligent and is therefore responsible for your injuries and should pay you compensation.\u00a0
\n<\/p>\n

Under the Pre-Action Protocol<\/strong> for Personal Injury claims<\/a>, the other side has a period of 21 days to acknowledge receipt of this letter<\/strong>.\u00a0 As soon as they do they are then allowed a period of three months to investigate your claim \u2013 normally through their insurers or solicitors.<\/p>\n

Is your claim really going to take almost four months to establish liability? No<\/strong> – not necessarily.\u00a0 This is purely the period of time the other side are allowed to have as a maximum.\u00a0 They could acknowledge your letter of claim in 7 days, then hold their hands up and admit liability in a further 7 days time.\u00a0 Your claim could be settled at any point between the submission of your letter of claim and the end of the three month period for investigations.<\/p>\n

At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we are well aware of how important it is to keep you up-to-date with the progress of your claim.\u00a0 That is why we update you at least every 14 days<\/strong>.\u00a0 This is on top of the fact that we never charge you a penny for our work – we work on a genuine no win, no fee<\/a> agreement which means we cannot charge you if we win your case or should it not be successful.<\/p>\n
