An accident at home, work or outside can often result in a broken bone or fracture. Accidents that occur as a result of a car or motorbike collision, a fall walking home along a clumsily laid pavement or a trip at work can all result in a debilitating injury.
However, it is not always immediately apparent that the victim has indeed sustained a fracture. A closed fracture is one of the most common types of injury. Although the sufferer will be in considerable pain, the fact that the skin remains unbroken often misleads the victim into thinking the injury is simply unsightly bruising.
As the injured party may not realise the severity of the accident, they often do not visit the doctor or the hospital.
It is crucial to attend an Accident and Emergency Unit as soon as possible after the accident. Every year, ‘no win, no fee’ personal injury solicitors attend to thousands of cases where the victim of negligence has delayed receiving medical treatment.
Although this should not affect your claim for no win, no fee compensation, it is important to set the ball rolling as quickly as possible. This will only help your case in the future, making it easier to claim.
This is because the ‘no win, no fee’ claim solicitor collects as much information as possible to make sure your claim will be successful. This means gathering medical records and witness accounts – information which greatly strengthens your claim.
As you will undoubtedly suffer loss of earnings because of your inability to work, a ‘no win, no fee’ personal injury claim will enable you to enjoy a degree of financial security at absolutely no cost to yourself.
