What injuries can I claim for? |

|
Yes!
A claim for personal injury can be submitted up to three years from the date of the incident.
A claim for clinical negligence can be submitted up to three years from the date of diagnosis.

|
Should I have reported my injuries to my GP or hospital? |
|
Yes!
It is essential, to facilitate a personal injury claim, to have a written record of the injuries and subsequent treatment either at your GP or hospital. If your injuries did not require medical treatment, it is unlikely that we will be able to assist you. |

|
|
How can a claim for Personal Injury cost me nothing? |
|
We appoint solicitors who agree to enter into a Conditional Fee Agreement in relation to their legal costs and take out an Insurance Policy to protect you against any other potential costs.
If you are successful in your claim, then the responsible third party is required to pay ALL of your legal costs including the cost of your insurance premium. If for any reason you are unsuccessful in your claim the Insurance Policy will cover all the legal costs.
This way, the whole claim costs you nothing. |
| |
|
|
Who funds the insurance and disbursements? |
|
| Your Appointed Solicitor provides funding. You are not responsible for any funding costs. |
| |
|
|
What cover does the Insurance Policy provide? |
|
If your case is unsuccessful, the Insurance Policy covers you for any liability in respect of legal costs, disbursements and the cost of the insurance premium. You receive full cover and incur NO COST.
When you are successful the Appointed Solicitor recovers the insurance premiums from the third party and still you incur NO COST.
