Our guide to public place accident claims contains more information about this type of accident claim and the injuries which you could suffer.

Medical practitioners such as doctors, nurses and dentists have a duty of care towards their patients. If they provide a patient with substandard care which makes the patient injured, ill or worsens their pre-existing medical condition, this is known as medical negligence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some frequently asked questions that we receive from prospective claimants regarding personal injury claims:

Q: Do I need legal representation when making a personal injury claim?

A: It’s important to note that there is no legal requirement stipulating that claimants must have legal representation in order to make a personal injury claim. In fact, you have the right to make proceedings without any legal help if you wish. However, as we hope to have illustrated over the course of this guide, having a solicitor can be extremely beneficial to the outcome of your claim. Not only does our panel of accident claims solicitors Rochester have over 30 years of experience but they all work on a No Win No Fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win your claim for you. Therefore, you can rely on their services to get you the compensation that you deserve.

Q: What are the benefits of signing a No Win No Fee agreement?

A: If you have grounds to make a personal injury claim and you’re looking for legal representation to help you do so, a solicitor working on a No Win No Fee basis can offer many benefits. Compared to solicitors that traditionally charge for their services by the hour, No Win No Fee solicitors only charge once they’ve won your claim for you. In the meantime, they won’t charge you a penny. As there are no upfront fees to pay either, you don’t have to worry about your financial situation upon signing a No Win No Fee agreement.

If your solicitor is unsuccessful in securing your compensation for you, you won’t have to cover their fees. Therefore, the only time payment is ever taken under a No Win No Fee agreement is when it’s deducted as a success fee from your final settlement. What’s more, success fees are legally capped to a maximum of 25% as part of these agreements, giving you peace of mind that you won’t be short-changed at the last minute.

Q: Am I Eligible To Claim Compensation?

A: If you have become sick or if you have been injured because of an accident caused by negligence on the part of another party, you could be eligible for compensation. You will need to start your claim before you run out of time to do so, as there is a 3-year time limit. There are exceptions so please call to find out more.

Q: Does It Help To Claim With A Solicitor Based Near Me?

A: When it comes to finding someone who could conduct your accident claim, it does not need to be a solicitor, lawyer or law firm based in Rochester. In fact, they do not need to be based in the wider Kent area. All they need to be able to do is to conduct your claim.

Today the claims process can very often be carried out remotely and there is no need for you and your solicitor to meet in person in the process of making a claim if you do not need to. To answer the above question, it will not necessarily help your claim to only choose between those closest to you and could harm your chances of finding the solicitor with the best possible experience to help you.

Q: Why Is It Important To See A Doctor?

A: If you are eligible to claim compensation, we will arrange for you to see a doctor for a medical assessment. Their medical report will be used to value your claim. This is important as it will help solicitors for both parties to see how you were affected by the accident. It also helps your legal team to best assess how much your injury may be worth. The defendant’s solicitors can also see that the valuation placed on the claim is reasonable for this injury.

Q: Where Will This Examination Be?

A: It will be arranged for you to have a medical assessment as near you as is possible. We have a nationwide panel of doctors and medical experts so to try to place you with one convenient to your location. The closest local medical experts include the following, however, your medical exam maybe with a different expert.
