How can making a no win no fee* claim help me?
Making a no win no fee* claim can help you claim back any money lost due to your injury i.e. any wages you may have lost because of your injury or any debts that may have amassed whilst you were injured.
Generally a reputable no win no fee* solicitor will not take on your claim if they believe that you have little to no chance of making a successful claim, meaning that you will have no false hopes when you look into making a claim.
How does it work?
Firstly you will need to contact us on 0800 0199 299 and we will assess the circumstances under which the injury was sustained. If the solicitor believes you have a valid claim and that someone is liable then the solicitor will send a letter of claim to the person thought to be liable informing them that you intend to make a claim against them.
Medical experts will have to assess the severity of the injury which will involve a medical examination and a simple review of your records surrounding the injury.
The injury solicitor will draw up a schedule of losses, this is a list of losses you wish to claim for, these would typically include loss of earnings and any future loss of earnings due to disability or distress.
After this process the defendant will have an opportunity to admit liability for the claim or dispute it, if it is disputed then the claim may go to court and will be settled there.
Evidence needed for a no win no fee* claim
After the incident try to get the names and numbers and addresses of any witnesses, taking photos of the area where the incident happened, highlighting the reason for your injury is also a major benefit.
Keep a record of any financial costs made due to your injury, keeping hold of receipts of any travel costs (hospital and doctor visits) and other losses, this will help keep track of how much compensation you may be owed.
