A Step-by-Step Guide to Achieving the Best Results in Your Personal Injury Claim

A personal injury claim can often involve a long and arduous process.

The purpose of this blog is to discuss some simple steps which a client can take to minimise any difficulties they encounter in their case.

I would recommend the following:-

1. Be responsive – in personal injury cases it is common to encounter delay that is outside of the representative’s control such as obtaining medical records through the NHS or court hearing dates. However, a client can minimise these delays by responding promptly to any correspondence that their representative sends to them and by providing any information or documentation requested in good time.
2. Read all documents carefully – it is extremely important that the documents that are relevant to the client’s case are an accurate reflection of their life. The client will be in the best position to ensure that the documents are accurate and up to date.
3. Be truthful and upfront with your representative – it is essential that a client is full and frank with their representative and makes them aware of any potential issues which may impact the claim whether these have occurred before or after the accident or afterwards. Part of the role of a legal representative is to assess these issues and respond accordingly. If the representative is unaware of any such issue then they will be unable to advise on the best way forward.
4. Provide the representative with clear and accurate instructions – it is very important that all of the information provided to the representative is both clear and accurate. If a client finds it difficult to provide instructions over the phone then it may be more beneficial for them to provide these instructions in writing by email or letter.
5. Be as organised as possible – when I take initial instructions from a client I always ask them to keep any documents that they think may be relevant to their case in a file in case they are needed at a later date. These documents may relate to who is responsible for the accident or proving any losses that have been suffered.

In conclusion, it is important that the client and the legal representative work together as a team and build an excellent rapport in order to navigate their way through the personal injury case process and achieve the best possible outcome.
