The Claims Process
The process of filing a claim starts with you contacting our legal firm and speaking to an advisor or a solicitor. Once we have evaluated the merits of your claim one of our accident claims solicitors will then write a letter to the party that is thought to be responsible for the injury and explain to them what has happened to you, and give them a limited amount of time to answer the letter. This is usually between thirty and ninety days.
The other party will either respond saying they admit to responsibility and they will offer to make restitution, or they will deny liability for the injuries. If they admit to responsibility then they will make an offer to settle with you. Our solicitor will be able to determine if the amount they are offering is a fair price.
If they do not accept responsibility the claim may have to proceed to a court hearing.
With accident injury claims there is a 3 year time limit to starting a claim which starts from the time you suffered the injury, or discovered an injury or illness was caused by negligence. With regards to this time limit we would advise contacting us straight away to get an accident claim started.
