\"\"At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we are well aware that people who want to bring a claim for compensation<\/a> generally want it over and done with as fast as possible.\u00a0 That is why we vow to get you the maximum compensation you deserve in the shortest possible time<\/strong>.\u00a0 That said, although we do all our work at our end as fast as we can, there will always be periods of time where we have to wait for the other side to respond and allow them time to do this.\u00a0 Of course, we can chase them up and make sure everything is going smoothly at their end as well; but inevitably there will be some small periods where we simply have to wait.\u00a0 Here is a quick guide to your compensation claim<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Most accidents, except for minor road traffic accidents<\/a>, will be dealt with under the Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims<\/a>.\u00a0 This Protocol has been designed to achieve a speedy end to your compensation claim.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The first stage is to produce a letter of claim which outlines your accident precisely, details your injuries, and confirms why we believe the other side were negligent.\u00a0 Your expert injury lawyers will produce this for you and this letter should not take long at all.\u00a0 Once it is ready your lawyers will send it to the Defendant who then have a period of 21 days<\/strong> to acknowledge the letter of claim.\u00a0 In the most part, Defendant\u2019s acknowledge this letter well within those 21 days and then either pass it ot their insurers or solicitors to deal with.
\n
\nOnce the Defendant has acknowledged the Letter of Cliam they are then allowed a period of three months to investigate your claim.\u00a0 In other words, to make sure that your accident happened and to establish whether they consider that they are at fault and should pay you compensation.\u00a0 The important thing to note is that, although they have this three month investigatory period, this in no way means that the investigations will definitely take three months – they could be over a done within in a week or a month<\/strong>, it really depends on the Defendant.\u00a0 At The Injury Lawyers, to make sure you have piece of mind, we will regularly chase the other side for their position on liability, to make sure we get their response as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

At The Injury Lawyers we will only take on your personal injury claim if we genuinely believe that it will be successful<\/strong>.\u00a0 As such we fully expect the Defendant\u2019s admission of liability within the three month investigatory period.\u00a0 Once we receive this we will refer you to a medical expert who will compile a legal medical report for you.\u00a0 This will be done at a time and place convenient to you and as soon as possible.\u00a0 Your lawyers will then await the medical report back from the expert, have a look through it and provide you with a copy to make sure you are happy with it.\u00a0 If you are, your lawyers will then disclose the medical report to the Defendant and invite offers to settle within 21 days<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

All in all, your claim for compensation could be over in just a few months<\/strong>, but we generally say that a period of six to nine months is typical<\/strong>.\u00a0 What we can say for certain is that at The Injury Lawyers we will do everything we can to make sure you ge the compensation you deserve as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

We are open between the hours of 9am and 10pm on weekdays<\/strong> and 9am and 5pm on the weekend<\/strong> should you wish to discuss any potential claim you may have with us or should you wish to gain an update on the progress of your case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
