Many people never bother putting in a claim for compensation, even when they are entitled to do so. One of the biggest fears is losing the claim. So we address the big question – is it worth the hassle and the cost?
First things first, we operate a genuine no win, no fee basis. We only take your claim on if we think we have a good enough chance of winning the case. If we don’t win, we write off our fees so we don’t get paid. It’s a cost benefit analysis for us – are we prepared to fund the case on the basis that we might not be paid?
So if we take your claim on, that’s our way of saying we think we can win your case.
As a firm of expert personal injury lawyers, we are best placed to deal with your claim and we win a lot of our cases. You can rest assured we will fight for your case as well – not only because that’s our job, but because we don’t get paid if we don’t win!
So is it worth the hassle? Well for road accidents that occurred on or after April 2010, or for most other claims that occurred after 31st July 2013, the case will be pursued using an online portal system. This streamlined way of dealing with claims is designed to get a straightforward claim resolved in as earlier timeframe as possible.
For road accidents, the insurers only have 15 business days to admit liability. Thereafter it’s just a case of valuing your claim using expert medical evidence.
For the non road accident portal claims, they only have 30 business days. So the timeframes involved are strict and short.
If they admit liability in the short period of time, and your injuries are resolved quickly, there is no reason why the claim cannot be settled in a few short months. Most cases are settled outside of court so you shouldn’t concern yourself with the possibility of a long drawn out legal process.
If you call our free claims helpline on 0800 634 75 75 we can submit the Claim Notification Form directly to the insurers on the same day you call us. That’s the claim started, and all we need to do is wait for a response.
