If you've had an accident in the last three
years that wasn't your fault, finding the right
injury solicitor can ensure you are compensated
properly for your injury. An injury solicitor
has the specialist knowledge to be able to assess
your claim and let you know straight away whether
you will be eligible for damages or not.
As most injury solicitors operate on a no win
no fee basis, they will not take on a case that
is unlikely to go to court, as their firm will
not benefit from such a claim. This is because
under UK law it is the third party in the case
who covers their costs once the case is complete
and if the solicitor does not consider your case
strong enough to win they risk losing their fees.
This means that it's always worth investigating
with an expert whether you should seek legal
help or not. You will not be liable for any fees
incurred during the course of your case either
as, under the law that governs how injury costs
are awarded, the third party involved will have
to cover these as part of your settlement.
There are many types of case that an injury
solicitor will undertake since UK law seeks to
compensate injury victims in most circumstances.
No matter what the situation that brought about
your injury, it's a good idea to seek legal help
with medical costs and loss of earnings at least
so you don't lose out financially due to your
injury. The law looks to aid those who have suffered
an injury in a road accident but it is also there
to protect those who have fallen victim to criminal
acts, accident at work through employer negligence,
medical negligence, industrial disease and accidents
that fall under the public liability law such
as a fall due to a faulty pavement.
Any specialist injury solicitor will be happy
to talk through your case with you and advise
you how best to proceed. They will also be able
to take into account the circumstances in which
your injury arose and can estimate how much you
may be able to claim for once your case has been
fully assessed with reference to medical records
and other relevant information.
As a general rule of thumb, in order to strengthen
your case you should always document the site
where the injury took place as soon after the
event as possible and refer to a medical specialist
so an official record of the nature and extent
of your injury is created for reference. If you
have sustained a serious injury, your assessment
for a claim may take longer but having a definite
record, including a police reference number if required regarding
the accident is an essential part of the compensation
process.
Once you have collated all the evidence to support
your claim your injury solicitor will be able
to advise you as to the damages you should receive
once the case reaches court and you should make
sure at this point that you will receive 100%
of that award.
