How Do I Claim?

Don’t ever be afraid to make a claim if you’ve been involved in an accident. A lot of people tend to feel uncertain about reporting their accident to a solicitor as they don’t fully understand the legal process. With us, it’s different. Our team will break your case down for you into language you can understand – stripping away the legalese and transforming everything into layman’s terms. We’ll do all the work and keep you updated with regards to your case. Remember, if safety standards have been neglected or ignored and you have suffered as a result – you deserve to be compensated. We can make it happen.

The claim process couldn’t be simpler. First, our solicitors will ask you a selection of routine questions to gather all the information they can about your accident. The more details we have, the stronger your claim will be. These questions typically include:

• When did the accident happen?
• Where did the accident happen?
• How did the accident happen?
• What sort of injuries have you sustained as a result of the accident?
• Have you been seeking professional medical advice after suffering the accident?
• What sort of treatment have you had to undergo as a result of the accident?

Next, our team will ask you to show what kind of financial losses you have experienced following your accident. Financial losses may include:

• Loss of earnings due to not being able to go to work
• Increased expenses due to medical bills

After gathering this evidence, our solicitors will send a letter to the person held responsible for causing the accident. They will have 8-12 weeks (depending on the nature of the case) to accept liability. If they do, the matter can be solved out of court with help from our solicitors (who will expertly negotiate to get you a fair financial settlement). If they do not accept liability or refuse to pay this settlement, the case will be taken before a judge.

Our solicitors stay with you every step of the way, ensuring you feel as comfortable as possible throughout the process. Remember, we are on hand to answer any questions you may have about your claim at any time.

How Much Compensation Will I Receive And When Will I Get It?

We’ll keep you in the loop from start to finish, and make sure to keep you updated with regards to the progress of the case.

Time limits for starting a personal injury claim

Something to bear in mind if you’re thinking of starting a personal injury claim is that there’s usually a time limit for taking such action. By law, under the Limitation Act 1980, a personal injury claim normally has to be made within three years of the day your accident occurred. We would always recommend starting the processes required to get your claim underway as soon as possible.

There are only a small number of circumstances where an exception to this rule can apply. The time limit can be suspended (at least temporarily) if the victim is currently under the age of 18 or lacks the mental capacity to act on their own behalf. When either of these factors do apply, the victim could potentially have a claim started on their behalf by a representative known as a litigation friend.

Claiming on a No Win No Fee Basis

If you choose to contact Legal Expert for support with your personal injury claim in Clacton-on-Sea, then our solicitors can assist under a No Win No Fee agreement. Also known as a Confidential Fee Agreement (CFA), this type of arrangement can provide several financial benefits. These benefits include the following:

• There’s no requirement to pay your solicitor’s legal fees before your claim gets underway.
• You also won’t be required to pay legal fees to your solicitor while your claim is still in progress.
• Should you make a successful claim under a No Win No Fee basis, only then will your solicitor’s legal fees need to be covered. Under this type of agreement, your solicitor will subtract a small percentage of your compensation to cover their payment. The amount your solicitor can take is capped by law. Details of how payment works should be clear in the agreement you sign with your solicitor (and available to review before signing the agreement).
