streamlined.<\/p>\n<p>Under previous rules, the negligent driver\u2019s insurer were allowed a period of around 4 months in which to investigate your claim, and further to an admission of liability, it could still take a matter of months before you received your compensation.\u00a0 Under the new protocol, your claim is submitted via an online portal.\u00a0 The other side now only have 1 day in which to acknowledge receipt of your claim form, and then are allowed a further 15 working days in which to come back with their position on liability.\u00a0 Once liability has been admitted for your accident you will be medically examined, and your injury lawyer will put together all details of any losses arising from your accident and submit these, along with your medical report, to the other side.\u00a0 Once this is done, your injury lawyers will negotiate the best settlement for you.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>If you instruct The Injury Lawyers, you will be in expert hands, and will be
