What to know about the Claims Process
Once you have consulted a legal firm about the personal injury claim that you wish to make, there are several things that you will need to do in order for the claim to proceed.
The solicitor will require all the information that relates to the case. All information on the injuries sustained and the actual incident itself should be presented to the solicitor. Any medical reports should be included and if there are witnesses they should make statements.
It is only after receiving and assessing this information that the solicitor will decide whether to proceed with the case or not. It is at this point that the person or organisation that you are claiming against will also be contacted by your no win no fee lawyer to inform them that a claim is being made against them.
This notification serves more than one purpose, because if the person or organisation is prepared to admit liability early on in the process there may be a possibility of settling the claim out of court. It is hoped that most cases can be settled this way, particularly if the liability of the other party is clear.
If the case does come to court, your solicitor should be able to conduct all the proceedings for you without you having to attend. They will also take care of any paperwork involved.
The time involved will vary from case to case, but your solicitor will keep you informed every step of the way when you use a no win no fee legal firm.
