How to Proceed the Personal Injury Claim

The personal injury lawyers review all medical evidence (usually notes from the GP and hospital) and give advice on what additional details should be collected. In a few cases, it is necessary to get a statement from a doctor who specializes in the applicable area.

Advancing the process

After forming a positive opinion on the merits of the claim, they write to the relevant person asking them to acknowledge responsibility for the damages. If liabilities are accepted then they can start negotiations on the worth of the compensation in financial terms.

If the responsible person does not accept the liability, this is when we will take legal case in your support. The process may be postponed at any time if the responsible party wants to agree on a payment.

Scope of compensation

You can get settlement for these aspects:

• Physical and psychological damage: Suffering, pain and the affect the injuries have on your way to live a good life. Medical proof is required to sustain this request;
• Your ability to keep up the employment. You may not be able to work or restricted in the type of job you can Here too it is essential to obtain medical evidence;
• Loss of yield from date of damage to date of claim; and
• Other extraordinary expenses you may have need to pay, such as damaged clothing, medical expenses, the health care cost, the cost of transportation,

Two significant factors must be considered when making a claim:

• If you are partially liable for what has occurred with you the amount of compensation may reduce to account this; and
• The complainant has a duty to mitigate the damage, i.e. to reduce the damage to a minimum.
