Are you Entitled to Cl im Compensation? If you have been njured in a non fault accident you c uld be entitled to claim compensation for the njuries suffered as a result of the ccident and also any other elements of f nancial loss also incurred as a r sult of the incident. The essential b sic elements that make up an ntitlement to claim compensation are: - The
ccident is caused by another party (n n Fault) - The other party (defendant) is kn
wn - The accident occurred within the last thr
e years or three years from wh n you were aware of your ntitlement Despite years of widespread media c verage it is amazing how many p ople are still unsure as to wh ther they can claim compensation. The m st common claims are the following: - Whiplash cl
ims from road traffic accidents - Slip and tr
p compensation claims - Work place compensation claims
- Medical n
gligence claims How to Claim Compensation Although it is wholly feasible and ethical to pursue an injury compensation claim yourself through the civil courts, by far the most popular method adopted by claimants to claim compensation is through the instruction of a personal injury solicitor. The simple fact is practically all personal injury lawyers will offer free and independent legal advice in first assessing the case, and if they are then happy to take on the claim most will offer the claimant what is known as a 'conditional fee agreement'.
Conditional Fee Agreement Practically all njury lawyers offer these conditional fee greements to people wishing to claim c mpensation, essentially they ensure the claimant d es not have to pay penny in l gal costs if the case is l st and even if the case is won and the cl imant receives a compensation award, the l wyer will claim their fees from the ther side. Accident Claims Management Companies These companies are essentially middlemen or marketing companies who try and capture the details of potential claimants in order to sell the 'lead' onto a personal injury solicitor. Some offer highly respectable services but there are a few who might interfere or slow the whole claims process down. When ever possible look for services that put you directly through to the solicitor and always ensure the claims management company is registered, authorised and regulated by the Ministry of Justice.
