There are many reasons why making a claim for compensation can be beneficial:
Compensation for your injuries
I thought I would begin with the most obvious reason why people begin claims for their personal injury. Compensation for your injuries is meant to reflect the severity of the injury, the length of time you have suffered, and the effects the injury has had on all areas of your life. If you have suffered an accident that was due to the negligence of another person or company, it only seems fair that you are compensated for this pain and suffering.
Recouping your Losses
Compensation is meant to put you back in the position you would have been in had the accident not occurred – if your accident has left you out of pocket, recouping your losses is an important part of claiming for compensation. Common items of loss claimed for are lost earnings, travel expenses, and treatment costs.
No costs for you pay
If you instruct the right law firm and check the no win no fee agreement thoroughly for any hidden costs that you could be at a risk of paying, you should find that you should not have to bear any of your solicitor’s costs for the running of your claim whatsoever. If you win your claim, your solicitor’s costs are recovered from the other side, and if you lose your claim, law firms often have insurance in place to cover their losses. So, with the right law firm on board, you have nothing to lose by giving it a try.
Treatment
There are many law firms out there who set themselves apart from the rest by offering a better service. Obviously, these services need to be enquired into before instructing a firm to proceed with your claim – an example is arranging treatment to help you back on your road to recovery and normality. At The Injury Lawyers, we are able to arrange private treatment at the early stages of your claim, and at no cost to our clients whatsoever – win or lose, the costs are either recovered by the other side, or from insurance.
Better Health and Safety Standards
By beginning a claim for personal injury, it often means that, depending on the accident you suffered, the defect is repaired fast to prevent it from harming anyone else, or general health and safety standards are tightened. This avoids the same thing that happened to you from happening to another person in the future.
