Claiming Compensation

The Law Society states that: 'Over three million people are injured in accidents each year - at home, in their cars, at work, or outdoors.'

In many situations someone else or something else is to blame and the accident was not your fault. As an accident victim you have a right to claim compensation.

Although personal injury law is complicated, with the help and guidance of Simpkins and Co Solicitors the process of making a claim can be quite straightforward. We offer a free initial consultation and will be able to tell you if you have a justifiable claim.

Examples of Personal Injury Claims include

Information we need from you to make a claim

To establish the details of your case and whether you indeed have a claim for compensation, we will need to know:

• the date of the accident and where and how it happened;
• the contact details for any witnesses;
• the details of your injuries, medical diagnosis and treatment; and
• whether you are a member of a trade union, as this may entitle you to free or reduced-cost legal representation.

We may also need to see:

• proof of your loss of earnings and other financial expenses which are the result of your injury;
• documents relating to any insurance policies you have (such as household or motor insurance) to check whether these will cover the legal costs of your claim;
  and
• any documents that can be used to support your claim, including documents from before your accident or any evidence of previous accidents in similar circumstances.

How we can help you make a claim

Once you have explained the circumstances of your injury in detail, we will advise you how likely your case is to succeed; and we may be able to give a rough idea how much you might be able to claim in compensation. We will also discuss how we intend to take your claim further and the legal process involved. We hope to do this in a plain and simple manner making sure you fully understand everything we discuss.

We will also talk to you about how to fund your claim at your FREE initial consultation.
