Insurance, Claims & Accidents

Perhaps the most vital thing to consider when making a personal injury ‘no win, no fee’ claim is the time it will take to complete. If you are claiming for an injury sustained as a result of a car accident, have suffered from an industrial or work-related incident, been victim of a wrong diagnosis by your local GP or hospital, or have suffered psychological damage as a result of negligence, you will want to begin a ‘no win, no fee’ claim for compensation.

Do not leave it too long before making your claim. Your personal injury solicitor will want to have as much time as possible to make your claim as watertight as he possibly can.

This means the solicitor getting in touch with as many witnesses as possible. Many of these witnesses will be leading busy lives and the details of the accident may soon start to blur. As the saying goes, the devil is in the detail.

This is particularly important with work-related accidents. Put yourself in the position of an employer; if he realises that he is culpable for the accident, it is unfortunately possible that he may attempt to cover up the traces of his negligence.

There have even been accounts of employers using strong-arm tactics on fellow employees in an attempt to suppress or divert the circumstances of the accident.
To avoid such a situation developing, it is crucial to contact your ‘no win, no fee’ solicitor at the very earliest opportunity.

By so doing you greatly increase the chances of a successful claim for personal injury caused by your employer’s negligence.
