\"\"If you have been involved in a road traffic accident<\/a> since April 2010 and you are thinking of making a claim for compensation<\/a> for the injuries you have suffered, then good news – the whole process if now faster and more efficient.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Prior to April 2010 you could have been waiting a few months for an admission of liability from the other side, and then a couple more months to get your compensation payout sorted.\u00a0 Thankfully the whole process has been overhauled and you could have your whole claim settled in just a few weeks or a couple of months.<\/p>\n

You are now required to submit what is known as a Claim Notification Form<\/strong> via the Ministry of Justice online portal.\u00a0 This is straightforward – especially with the right expert injury lawyer on your side.\u00a0 The form will take roughly 20 minutes to complete and your injury lawyer should go through this with you.\u00a0
\n
\nIt just notes those involved in the accident, where the accident happened, the nature of your injuries and nature of your accident.\u00a0 Once completed it is submitted electronically to the Defendant\u2019s insurer who must acknowledge it within 1 business day.\u00a0 Upon acknowledgement the Defendant\u2019s insurer then has just a further 15 business days to come back with their position on liability.\u00a0 Often, such is the straightforward nature of road traffic accidents, an admission of liability can be received much sooner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Once liability is admitted your injury lawyer will set you up an appointment with a medical expert<\/strong> so that a legal medical report can be compiled.\u00a0 This will demonstrate that your injuries relate to your accident and provide a prognosis from which your claim can be valued.\u00a0 With your permission, the medical report will be disclosed to the Defendant and then it is just a matter of settling your claim.<\/p>\n

At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we fight tooth and nail for the maximum compensation you deserve and will advise on any offer of compensation you receive.\u00a0 What\u2019s best is that when you receive your compensation you will get to keep every penny of it<\/strong>.\u00a0 Under our genuine no win, no fee agreement<\/a> we cannot take a penny away from your compensation and will instead seek to recover our costs from the Defendant.<\/p>\n
