At Compensation Claim.com, we like to think that what we do is pretty simple. It’s all about justice and fairness. We don’t think it’s fair that people who’ve been injured in an accident which wasn’t their fault should be left to their own devices. We also don’t think it’s fair that the idea of seeking compensation should be restricted to those who can afford to risk losing money if they’re unfortunate enough to lose a case. The injury lawyers at CompensationClaim.com work, in most cases, on a no win no fee basis, which means that there’s no risk involved in starting a claim; if you’re unfortunate enough to lose your case, then the costs of the other side will be met by insurance, rather than having to come out of your pocket whilst, if your claim is successful, we won’t take a penny of the compensation awarded to you in fees and costs.
In order to make a claim, it’s necessary to fulfil two basic criteria. Firstly, you have to have received an injury. The word ‘injury’ covers a very broad spectrum of circumstances, both physical and psychological, ranging from the fairly mild and short term to deeply serious injuries such as disfigurement, paralysis and amputation, which can have a long term detrimental effect upon a persons life. Nor does an injury have to be caused by a single dramatic event. Many of our clients come to us having suffered personal injury or illness which has been brought on by long term working conditions. In cases such as these, where the lack of a safe working environment may have led to conditions such as Vibration White Finger, hearing problems or Repetitive Strain Injury, you may be in a position to claim compensation from your employer who, it should not be forgotten, has failed in their duty of care to you.
The second condition which has to be met in order for a claim to be successful is that the injury in question has to have been caused by someone else’s negligence. This could be a body such as a shop or train station which has failed to warn of a wet floor, or the other driver responsible for a Road Traffic Accident, but whatever the circumstances, your personal injury lawyer will build as strong a case as possible, using their experience in the field to make sure that they ascertain precisely the facts which are needed.
In order to make this judgement as accurate as possible it will be helpful, when you first contact us, to ensure that you have information such as:
- Where the incident took place.
- The precise details of the incident.
- Names and contact details of any witnesses who might be able to provide more information.
- When the incident occurred.
- Any written records of the incident such as medical notes or police reports.
Having decided that you have a legitimate claim for compensation, we’ll hand you on to one of our expert injury solicitors, who’ll gather the facts together, complete any paperwork on your behalf, answer your questions and build as strong a case as they can. On many occasions, the case we build is so solid that the other party settles without even bothering to go to court. That’s what we mean when we talk about things being simple – simple truth and simple fairness.
