Your questions answered...
- What injuries can I claim for?
You are entitled by law to be compensated for any injury arising out of a non-fault accident you sustain which can include cuts, bruises and soft tissue injuries (whiplash).
- Is there a time limit for submitting a claim for personal injury?
There is a statutory limit of three years from the date of the accident and a claim can be submitted at any stage during this period.
- How long will my personal injury claim take to settle?
Straightforward cases should be resolved and settled within a twelve month period. However, it will largely depend on the nature of the injury involved.
- Do I need to have reported my injuries to my GP or Hospital?
If you have not been to visit your GP or hospital it should not prevent you from presenting a claim. However, it will greatly assist your claim if you have a written record of your injury either at your GP or hospital.
- Why can I be legally represented without incurring legal costs?
Your appointed panel solicitor's costs are covered in full through your Conditional Fee Agreement. So should you lose your case, you will not have to pay your solicitor for any work he has done on your behalf.
