Yes – is the simple answer to this!

It’s no secret formula or magic trick as to how and why we can offer our clients 100% compensation agreements when other lawyers can’t. We’re not covering it up for some other way to make up the fees either.

Simply put, you get more compensation, and we receive less legal fees. It really is as basic as that!

So I suppose the big question to ask is why on earth are we prepared to get less money in order to let you keep more money? Surely there isn’t anything in it for us – we’re losing out!

So what happens if you are a care worker and you are injured as a result of lifting and / or manoeuvring a patient? Can you make a claim for personal injury compensation?

Thanks to a government scheme known as the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) scheme, you are able to access a government funded compensation payout if you are the victim of a crime that has caused you a personal injury.

PLEASE NOTE: This is only for general guidance only, and you should always seek proper advice from a qualified personal injury lawyer to accurately calculate your limitation to claim period.

For the majority of cases in England and Wales, you have three years from the date of an accident in which to make your claim for personal injury compensation. What this normally means is that you must either have settled your claim or issued court proceedings before the three year anniversary of the accident.

There can be many hurdles when pursuing a claim for personal injury compensation – the limitation to claim is normally one of them. But victims of gynaecologist Robert Jones known as “The Butcher” who is said to have mistreated thousands of patients at the Royal Cornwall Hospital (RCH – also known as Treliske Hospital) may now be able to access the justice they deserve (Source).

An agreement has been reached with the RCH to lift the three year limitation period which should allow victims that could date back to as early as 1992 to now be in a position to make a claim for personal injury compensation. The agreed protocol is said to be a step in the right direction for helping the victims of medical negligence claims currently being made against the RCH.

Our specialist medical negligence team here at The Injury Lawyers represent countless victims of clinical negligence all on a 100% compensation AND No Win, No Fee basis.
