What Steps Could I Take To Make A Claim?

However, we believe our expert solicitors are ideally placed to handle your claim. With up to three decades of experience in accident claims, our accident claims solicitors are widely experienced in numerous types of accident claims.

Are Local Solicitors Best For My Claim?

You are entitled to use a solicitor who is located anywhere in the country. There’s no need to feel restricted to personal injury lawyers if you feel that the capabilities of a legal expert based elsewhere are more suitable to your claim. Your solicitor will communicate with you via telephone, email or post in the majority of accident claims cases.

Will I Have An Assessment Of My Injuries?

In order for you to make a successful claim for your injuries, your accident claims solicitor will ask you to undergo a medical assessment by an impartial doctor. The purpose of this examination is to produce a report detailing the extent of your injuries and how they have impacted your life. This report could be the difference between the highest settlement possible and a missed opportunity for compensation, which is why this assessment is important.

Where Could I Be Medically Assessed?

Could accident claims solicitors covering Lowestoft help if I have life-changing injuries?

Whether you’ve suffered a simple broken bone or you’ve experienced a life-changing injury such as an amputation or spinal injury, our personal injury solicitors covering Lowestoft could assist you. No matter what your injuries, if they were caused by someone else’s dangerous or negligent behaviour, it still doesn’t matter where your solicitor is based. If you are a long-term hospital patient, you could opt to video chat with your solicitors, or talk to them on the phone. They could even visit you in hospital if you would like. Your solicitor could handle your claim via e-mail, use file sharing software and more to keep in touch with you.

 

One of the things that we should mention about life-changing injuries is that you could also be affected psychologically, and you may be put in a precarious financial situation too if you’re unable to work. If you have suffered psychologically, a lawyer could help you get compensation for the psychological effects of your physical injuries as well as your physical pain and suffering. They could also assist if you need an interim payment to help you pay your mortgage or rent payments for example in some cases.

 

Could accident claims solicitors covering Lowestoft help me claim on behalf of someone else?

In some circumstances, you might wish to make a claim on behalf of someone else. This could include situations where a child you’re responsible for suffers injury in an accident that someone else could be held liable for. Whether your child has been injured at school, on a school trip, in a car accident, supermarket accident or somewhere else, you could become their litigation friend. This means you would have the authority to make decisions about their case on their behalf. Any compensation they receive would be held in a trust for them, however, if you needed to pay for their medical treatments, you could request for some of the compensation to be released for this purpose.

Another reason people could make a claim on behalf of someone else is if they suffered a fatal injury that was not their fault. Claims for fatal accidents and wrongful deaths could include compensation for funeral costs, as well as loss of household income. It could also include an award for the suffering and pain your loved one experienced before they passed away.
