1. How long will my claim take to settle?
A very straight forward road traffic accident case where the injuries suffered are minor could settle within months. However, where injuries are more serious or in cases where there is a dispute regarding who is responsible for the accident/injuries could take much longer. Much depends on the individual circumstances of each case and must be assessed on an individual basis. We will do our best to ensure that your claim progresses as quickly as possible.
2. How long do I have in order to bring my claim?
In the UK an injured person usually has three years from the date of the accident to make a claim. There are exceptions to this rule. For example in exceptional circumstances the court may allow you to pursue a claim outside this time limit. Also the three year period doesn’t run whilst a person is suffering from mental disability or in the case of an injured child, until they reach the age of 18. It is important if you think you may have a claim to instruct solicitors to assist as soon as possible. This will ensure that your claim is properly investigated and steps are taken to preserve the evidence that will aid the success of your claim.
3. I don’t want to waste anyone’s time but I am not sure if I have a claim?
We will provide you with professional and impartial advice. Each case has to be looked at on an individual basis. Contact us and we will advise you on whether you have a claim and what your prospects are of succeeding. If you have no case or if your prospects of succeeding are minimal we will advise you of this. The sooner you contact us the easier it will be for us to advise you and for you to recall the circumstances of your accident. Preserving what evidence there is is central to our successfully pursuing a claim for you.
4. How much will it cost me? Who pays EB Legal’s fees?
Our fees are paid buy the person or organisation responsible for your accident or their insurers. You will receive 100% of all the compensation awarded to you. If we don’t win, we don’t charge you a penny.
5. Will I need to see a doctor and attend a medical examination?
If you have been injured we will arrange for you to be examined by a doctor in order for the extent of your injuries to be assessed. We will then be able to assess how much compensation you will receive.
The doctor may require access to your GP/hospital records. The doctor will ask you about any previous accidents/illnesses you will have had. It is important to answer the doctor’s questions fully and honestly so that an accurate assessment can be made of your injuries and if appropriate a treatment programme formulated. Your case could be damaged if you do not answer the doctor’s questions fully and honestly.
6. How much compensation will I get?
The level of damage you will receive depends on the injuries you have suffered and how long it will take you to make a full recovery.
The medical report(s) will allow us to fully assess the correct level of compensation that should be awarded to you.
We will advise you of the value of your claim and negotiate to achieve the highest award for you.
If you were partly responsible for the accident this will result in a reduction in the level of your compensation. If this is found to be the case you may also have to repay benefits that you have received as a result of the accident.
