Myth busting: pursuing a claim is too much hassle
Some people are put off pursuing a personal injury compensation claim as they worry that the claims process will be too much hassle or too stressful.
Straightforward process handled by us for you
In fact, the claims process itself is relatively straightforward. And as specialist injury lawyers, we take the stress out of the process for clients. We deal with all matters on your behalf, from the very first call through to conclusion, all while keeping you updated and advising you. Our goal is to ensure that you receive the maximum possible settlement that you rightfully deserve and we are there to guide you through every step of the process.
Restoring your financial position
The purpose of a claim is to put you back into the financial position that you would have been in but for the injury. Many people are out of pocket when an injury occurs, through no fault of their own, and being unable to work can lead to severe financial consequences. We can recover any loss of earnings that you have suffered and any out-of-pocket expenses you have incurred, e.g. attending private physiotherapy or sports massage after an accident.
Future needs considered too
In more serious cases, we can recover compensation for your future care needs too. Your home or personal vehicle may require to be adapted. You may need specialist equipment around the home or workplace to make your life easier in light of any injury. Your future earning capacity may be reduced. Our specialist lawyers have a bank of experts ready to assess your individual needs and provide costings for any additional help you may need, which we would seek to include in your personal injury claim.
Access to private medical treatment and rehabilitation services
As part of the claim process, many insurers offer to provide access to private medical treatment and rehabilitation services, such as access to physiotherapy. Having access to such treatment can speed up your recovery from injury and improve your long-term outcome.
Safer organisations and workplaces
Another reason it is worth making a claim is that it can encourage organisations and workplaces to improve their safety measures to prevent similar accidents or injuries from happening again. Very often we hear clients say “I just don’t want this happening to anyone else”. A claim can have the effect of encouraging workplaces and organisations to take health and safety much more seriously. In turn, this can reduce the number of future accidents.
Recognition and closure
Finally, a successful claim provides recognition of the wrong done to you and can provide closure to allow you to move forward.
