Obtaining an injury in an accident which was caused by another party's negligence is frustrating, upsetting and can have wide-reaching consequences. There is the obvious physical pain, but the trauma can be longer lasting, as can the treatment, care and inability to work resulting in financial problems. These are some of the reasons for which people choose to make an accident claim after their injury. Unfortunately, many people find the process of making such a claim confusing and aren't entirely sure of what to do.
Personal Injury Claims - The first obvious step before launching an accident claim is to ensure your injuries have been appropriately treated. This is important for your personal recovery but it will also help your accident claim later if you make a doctor aware of your injuries and how they happened.
When an accident happens at work, it will be recorded by the health and safety officer in the company's accident book. If you have one, inform your trade union of your injuries and they may be able to offer advice and guidance on your recovery and accident claim.
Many people find themselves incurring additional expenses in the period after an accident such as for taxis to hospital or doctor's appointments and early physiotherapy treatment: keep receipts because in the event of an accident claim you may be able to reclaim them.
It is important to contact an accident claim solicitor as early as you can once you've made the decision to claim because in some cases the evidence you require could disappear. This is particularly important in cases of slip and trip accidents caused by poorly maintained pavements because once the pavement is repaired your evidence is lost.
You might see adverts on television for accident claim management companies who offer to handle your claim on a no win no fee basis. Think carefully before contacting such a company because they are not actually lawyers, but rather auction details of claims they have 'farmed' to the highest bidding law firms. All of that means that your element of choice in who handles your claim is removed. Potentially you could be given a poor quality solicitor. If you are worried about legal fees it is worth remembering that there are many law firms who you could go to directly who will offer no win no fee services. Additionally, trade unions often help with legal fees in the event of workplace accident claims.
