UK PERSONAL INJURY SOLICITOR ADVICE

Depending on how your accident was caused (whether there was negligence on the part of someone else) and depending on the damage that has resulted, you may be able to make a compensation claim. A personal injury solicitor can guide you through the legal system and the claims investigation process. They are trained in advocacy and negotiation and are best equipped to negotiate or settle your case with minimum fuss, whilst ensuring that you receive the maximum amount of compensation possible.

Dealing with the repercussions of an accident can be extremely tough for family members as well as the victim. The recovery period can vary - in severe cases chronic conditions can be a life-long problem. If you are no longer working because of the accident and you do not have a steady income, the bills never seem to end. The financial burden associated with an accident can leave you financially strained for a very long time. That's where we come in. We can help you to get the compensation you deserve and need to continue normal life without undue financial worries.

You will be much better off if you have a solicitor to act for you, than to try to negotiate a settlement with an insurer on your own. A personal injury solicitor is experienced in dealing with insurers and will be able to advise you as to the amount of compensation you could reasonably expect in your situation.

Occasionally the effects of an injury do not show up for some time or they can take a very long time to heal. Your personal injury solicitor will take into consideration the likely prognosis with regard to your injuries and what your future needs are likely to be.

Time limits do apply and generally you have only 3 years from the date of the accident to file a claim in court. This time limit may be extended in only exceptional circumstances, however time does not start running until the age of 18 years and time may never start running for the mentally incapacitated. It is important that you do not delay in seeking legal advice and that you ask your lawyer how long it is that you have to make a claim.
