\"\"Although claiming for compensation<\/a> is actually quite straightforward, especially when you have a quality injury lawyer on your side who is willing to fight tooth and nail for the maximum compensation you deserve, there are several stages that you may be interested to know a little more about the whole process.\u00a0 Here is a quick guide:<\/p>\n

Stage 1<\/strong>: Letter of Claim<\/p>\n

This is typically the first piece of correspondence you have with the other side<\/strong>.\u00a0 It outlines your accident, your injuries and explains why we, your injury lawyers, believe that the Defendant has been negligent and should provide you with compensation for your injuries.\u00a0 Once sent to the Defendant, the Defendant has 21 days to acknowledge the Letter of Claim and begin their investigations.
\n<\/p>\n

Stage 2<\/strong>: The investigatory period<\/p>\n

Once the Defendant has acknowledged the letter of claim they will either investigate your claim themselves or pass the claim to their insurers or claims handlers who will investigate on their behalf.\u00a0 The Defendant has a period of 3 months to complete their investigations and come back with their position on liability, i.e. an admission or denial of liability.\u00a0 At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we only take on claims if we genuinely believe they will be successful – so we fully expect an admission of liability within this 3 month period.\u00a0 However, should the Defendant deny liability they must provide all necessary documentation to support their position.\u00a0 We will then review your claim and seek a further opinion of a Barrister and see where we go from there.<\/p>\n

Stage 3<\/strong>: Admission of liability received<\/p>\n

Where the Defendant has admitted that they were at fault for your accident it is now a matter of seeking to get a medical report compiled so that your injuries are properly assessed and your claim can be properly valued.\u00a0 Your medical appointment will be at a time and place convenient for yourself and will generally not take too long either.<\/p>\n

Stage 4<\/strong>: Settling your claim<\/p>\n

If you are happy with your medical report, this will be disclosed to the Defendant and we will ask that an offer of settlement is received within 21 days.\u00a0 Each time we receive an offer in respect of your claim we will review it and provide you with the necessary advice.\u00a0 If an offer is not satisfactory we may issue court proceedings but this in no way actually suggests you will end up going to court.\u00a0 A case reaching a hearing is actually very rare, and normally issuing proceedings helps speed up the settling of your case and getting you the maximum compensation you deserve.\u00a0 Once settlement is reached, if all goes well, you should have your cheque within a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n
