Personal Injury Claims
We provide well established personal injury claims service that enables people who have suffered injuries or losses through no fault of their own to claim the compensation to which they are entitled. What distinguishes us from many other personal injury services is the sensitive and inclusive approach we offer our clients – acknowledging that they have recently sustained a physical or emotional injury, and treating them with professionalism and courtesy.
For many people, the first time they contact us it will be their first encounter with a personal injury service. They may be apprehensive, anxious or angry when we speak with them. We aim to put their minds to rest with impartial and accurate information in plain English. Ideally, we will be able to make a preliminary assessment of their claim, advise them whether they have a personal injury claim which it is worth their while to pursue and provide guidance about the next steps they should take.
Why Make a Personal Injury Claim?
There are many different reasons why victims of injury or loss may approach us to make a personal injury claim. Foremost in many people’s minds is the need to provide financial security during times of physical recovery – when they may be unable to work and suffer from a loss of income. Additional financial pressures may also be applied if the victim is temporarily unable to look after children or elderly relatives and has to employ care services to ensure their family’s wellbeing.
Where you receive an injury due to the negligence of another your right to compensation is an entitlement, not a privilege.
A further reason for making a personal injury claim is to prevent the same injury happening to somebody else. Although the majority of personal injury claims are settled by the negligent party’s insurance companies, those liable in such claims may be encouraged to make positive changes to the way in which they manage their responsibilities – whether it be a driver who now respects speed limits, an employer who makes changes to provide a safe working environment or a hospital who attends to hygiene issues.
Each Personal Injury Claim is Unique
Just as each individual is unique, each personal injury claim is different. We treat every client as an individual, and we understand that every personal injury claim is indeed personal. Two people suffering identical injuries may experience similar symptoms, but the impact those symptoms have on their personal lives will be very different. One’s age, marital status and financial position can greatly influence how they cope with their injury or loss, and being able to manage is an important factor towards stimulating physical and emotional recovery.
This is why we advocate using the services of a personal injury law firm rather than deal directly with the Injuries Board when you have sustained an injury or loss attributable to a third party’s negligence. Whereas the Injuries Board has an important role to play in providing swift and adequate personal injury settlements, a personal injury law firm will ensure that every element of a personal injury claim is maximised to your best advantage.
