At The Injury Lawyers we have a great deal of experience in road traffic accident claiming. For clients that have suffered an accident after 30th April 2010 and whose claim is within a certain value, we are pleased to inform them that their claim can be run through a fast track system that can be much quicker than other common compensation claims.
The Process…
This fast track system is begun by completing a Claim Notification Form. This form is the first correspondence the other side will receive on your claim and sets out the accident circumstances in full, together with the necessary information required for your case to be investigated thoroughly. Once this is completed, it is submitted via an electronic portal over the internet, which means that all correspondence is sent and received simultaneously, therefore making the claiming process much faster and more streamlined. After this is submitted, the other side have one business day to acknowledge the claim, and 15 business days to provide their response regarding liability. This is in stark contrast to the system of old which allowed the other side nearly 4 months to respond.
Liability means fault – so if you get an admission of liability it is the first successful step to settling your claim. Once this admission is received your solicitor will then organise for you to have a medical examination – this examination can take place at a time and location convenient for you; you therefore have the least hassle possible. Along with this, your solicitor may also collate the financial losses you have suffered as a result of your claim. These losses most commonly include a loss of earnings and/or treatment costs.
Once the above information is gathered your claim may then be ready to go forward to settlement.
Who should you instruct for your claim…
So, now you know how fast, simple and hassle free the process is, I am guessing you will want to instruct a law firm for your claim. This in itself can be the most difficult task you can face in the whole claiming process, as there are so many firms out there to choose from. I have therefore set out benefits which many firms offer that are good to look out for:
- 100% of your compensation – ensure you will receive your compensation in full with no deductions and no hidden charges to pay.
- No costs for you to pay – ensure win or lose your claim you are not a risk of paying your solicitors costs.
- Medical package – many law firms such as The Injury Lawyers offer to arrange private medical treatment at no cost to you.
If you require any further information regarding your claim or the benefits you can receive from instructing The Injury Lawyers then feel free to give us a call.
