There could well be a number of people in the UK that may have missed out on compensation they would have been entitled to. We don’t want this to happen to you. So, let’s take a look at the various reasons why people might not have made a personal injury claim when they could have…

 

 

  • They may not have realised they had the basis for a compensation claim – It is not always clear when a person is injured that the injury may have been avoidable. There are so many different incidents that could lead to personal injury cases. If you have suffered an injury or illness due to third party negligence then you may have a case for compensation.
  • They may have left it too long to make a claim – Many individuals may not realise that there is actually an accident claims time limit. This time limit is typically three years and it begins from the date of your accident. There are exceptions, for example, when injuries have occurred over time, such as repetitive strain injury. If this applies to you, you could have three years from the date of your diagnosis instead.
  • They may worry that their employer will fire them – When it comes to a workplace accident claim in Worthing, a lot of people might worry that they will lose their job if they make an accident claim against their employer. However, this is something you do not need to worry about. Your employer will have insurance in place. Plus, if they were to sack you, they would only land themselves in much deeper trouble.
  • They may not want all of the hassle or to go to court – Last but not least, many people may envisage much more hassle and a trial. They may not want to put themselves through this, which is understandable, however it is unlikely that you would have to. Most cases could actually be settled out of court.

A no win no fee solicitor and the claimant with both sign a Conditional Fee Agreement CFA outlining what is expected of the solicitor ion exchange for a percentage of the claimants compensation. Here is what you could expect to see in the CFA:

  • Information about the firm which has taken on your case.
  • Contact details for the firm.
