How much will a claim cost me?
Under a ‘no win, no fee’ agreement, you will only pay for our services if you win your case and receive damages. If you lose your case, your accident claim will not cost you any money in legal fees. Alternative funding options are also available to you depending on the circumstances of your case. We can explore these with you when you call.
Our lawyers will arrange an insurance policy for you. The policy covers any liability to pay for disbursements and the costs of your opponents. The premium for the policy is self-insured, which means you do not have to pay for the policy in advance.
How long will my claim take?
A claim can vary in terms of the time taken to complete. This will depend on a number of factors including:
- The extent of your injuries
- The length of time you’ve been in hospital and/or at home and off work
- The care required
- Whether the other side admits responsibility
A simple claim, where there is an admission of liability and your injury is relatively minor, can be finished in a matter of weeks. However, if there’s no admission of liability and your injuries are more serious, cases can take considerably longer. This is because the case will involve more in-depth evidence gathering and consultation with experts. It may also be necessary to issue court proceedings.
We’ll be able to give you a better idea of timescales once you have told your lawyer more about your case and we’ll always keep you updated throughout the process.
What's the time limit for making an injury compensation claim?
With any personal injury claim, there are strict time limits that need to be adhered to. You have three years after the injury occurred, which is usually the date of the accident, to make your claim.
There are some exceptions to this rule for claims for medical accidents (known as medical negligence), where the injury or condition may not become apparent for years. In these circumstances, the time limit period may begin on the date that you became aware.
