Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Have I got a claim?

A: If the accident was caused by the fault of another person whether totally or in part, you may have a claim. That other person may be a driver of the car you are in, your employer, the local Council, the owner of a supermarket/shop.

Q: But I can´t afford your help, can I?

A: We provide initial consideration and advice of a claim free of charge. We will not charge you until we write to you and tell you what we will charge and you agree. If you have a reasonable case and it is appropriate we can offer "No Win, No Fee" agreements which mean just that - you will not pay one penny out of your compensation if you win and not one penny if you lose. We will guarantee you that our No Win, No Fee scheme is really.

No loans..No credit..No catch.

In addition we also advise you on Legal Expenses Insurance, as a lot of clients are unaware that they have the benefit of a legal expense policy until we check their household and contents insurance, car insurance, credit cards and the various other sources that can potentially offer Legal Expense Insurance.

Q: How much damages will I get and how long will it take?

A: If you are successful, you will receive damages for your pain and suffering and the injury. These are set out in broad terms in the Judicial Studies Board Guidelines and we also use recent and similar cases to your type of claim to assist us in calculating an appropriate assessment of damages. In addition you will also get your out of pocket expenses including expenses such as medical expenses, loss of earnings, vehicle repairs, prescriptions, care, transport, rehabilitation, counselling, physiotherapy and such like. Clearly each case differs and we will provide you with more details when we know your exact circumstances.

In so far as the time to settle a claim is concerned, this depends on you and your recovery. Everyone wants their accident claim dealing with quickly, but sometimes it is not in your best interests to do so. This is particularly so in relation to serious accidents when it is crucial to wait until the recovery period before settling compensation. A settlement can be determined by many factors including the approach by the defendant´s, witnesses, your recovery time, the Court´s availability and such like.
