The first thing your Lawyer will do is to correspond with a standard claim letter to the defender (company, person or organization that may be responsible for your injury). This outlines the framework and fine details of your accident and the injury sustained. Your lawyer will also refer a relevant expert if needed to support your case. For example he/she will organize any medical examinations that may be required to validate your injury.

There is a fixed period of time that the defender has to make a reply and to state whether they accept full responsibility for the accident or in some cases refuse to accept liability. This time is usually a maximum of three months.

If they accept liability then in the vast majority of cases it will be settled out of court.

Once your Lawyer has all the relevant medical reports and financial information he/she will contact the insurance company asking for an offer. Once that offer has been received he will then advise you on what the correct amount is you should accept. Your lawyer will advise you on which is the best way forward for you. see our compensation guide.
