If after reading this, you’re still feeling unsure, you can reach a trained legal adviser for free on 0800 048 7944 for advice on your claim without any pressure.
The first step towards making a compensation claim is to get in touch with a legal adviser by submitting our online claim form or calling for free on 0800 048 7944. We will be able to run you through the claims process in more detail and answer any questions you might have. After you’ve had your questions answered and our legal adviser has found out a bit more about what you’ve been through, we’ll be able to let you know whether you could make a compensation claim.You don’t have to take it any further if you don’t want to, but if you do decide you’d like to go ahead, we can manage the whole process for you with our specialist solicitors.
During your claim, your solicitor will be able to do most of the hard work for you, leaving you with the time and space to focus on your other priorities.
They’ll negotiate with the other party on your behalf and keep you regularly updated on the progress of your claim. They’ll also be able to help you to decide whether to accept any compensation offers.There might be some paperwork along the way, but they’ll be able to explain everything to you and can do most of it on your behalf.
Your solicitor may also be able to arrange for you to receive ‘interim’ payments of compensation before your final settlement, to cover your immediate needs and the short-term costs of your injuries.
If your claim is successful, then you’ll receive your compensation – it’ll often be paid by the other party’s insurance company. It’s difficult for us to say exactly how long your claim will take, because no two cases are the same. But once your claim has been settled, you’ll usually receive your compensation quite quickly – normally within two to four weeks.
You’ll usually be able to make your claim using a no win no fee agreement. This takes the financial risk out of claiming, because it makes sure you won’t be left out of pocket if your claim isn’t successful. With no win no fee, you don’t have to pay any money if you don’t win your case. If you do win your claim, you’ll need to pay a success fee to your solicitor as a percentage of the compensation you receive – this will be discussed and agreed with you before we move forward with your claim.
