Personal Injury Claim Solicitors
Personal Injury usually comes under the jurisdiction of civil law, and if you win your case in the civil court you can be awarded damages for various grievances, resulting directly or indirectly from the injury.
In order to bring a successful claim for damages, the claimant must establish that the other party is at least partly responsible for the injury sustained, which means that the claim will not be affected by some liability being attributable to the claimant.
Personal Injury Compensation Claims
Personal injury claims can be of general damages for the injury itself and special damages attributable for any resulting financial loss, which can include hospital care and medical expenses as well as loss of earnings suffered as a result of the injury, and any other reasonable costs such as travel expenses.
You must be able to back up your claim with legal evidence, and in this aspect the help of a legal adviser will be also invaluable.
Some people are reluctant to undertake official procedure after suffering an accident, as they believe that the Person at Fault will be Held Liable for the payment of damages.
However, this is a Common Misunderstanding, and in fact it is the person's insurance firm that will be responsible for paying any award. As long as the person is fully insured they will not suffer any personal loss of pocket.
This means that it is quite feasible to make a claim against a family member or friend, for instance in the case of whiplash suffered as a result of an incident while the claimant was the passenger in a car.
THREE YEAR Legal Time Limit
Legal action will expire if the time limit passes, although in cases where the injury was not manifest until later this period can be extended.
If the accused party Denies Liability the case will have to be Decided by a Court, but in most cases we can negotiate an agreement and a settlement without having to proceed with legal action.
Gray Purdue Solicitors will take the burden from your shoulders. We recognise the stress
and emotional implications surrounding personal injury cases, and we aim to
reach a swift and satisfactory conclusion for all our clients.
