The Legal Process

Don't let any concern about going to court put you off obtaining compensation. The vast majority of claims settle without going to court, and our specialist team will explain how we will take your claim forward.

This is unfortunately quite a common practice by insurance companies, many offering far less than the victim needs or deserves. To see an example of this please click here.

To make sure you receive the right amount of compensation you should always get professional advice from a specialist solicitor.

Every client will have a personal, dedicated case handler who will represent them throughout their claim, assisting them and guiding them through the process to make it as easy as possible for them to obtain compensation for their injuries.

Keeping the interests of our clients firmly at the forefront of our minds we always try to resolve cases as quickly as possible. However, it is impossible to give an exact estimate as it will entirely depend upon the circumstances of each individual case. Your lawyer will keep you informed of the process and will be able to give you a more accurate guide as to the length of time your case may take.

 During your case we may need to arrange for you to see a medical expert who specialises in the type of injury you have suffered. The Consultant specialist will produce a report upon which we will base your claim for compensation for your injuries. It is important to obtain a report as this will identify the extent of your injuries, the effect the injuries have had on your life, any treatment you may benefit from and when your injuries should hopefully resolve.

No, we try to work in a way that is most convenient to you; we appreciate that when you have been injured getting about can sometimes pose some difficulties. With Harris Fowler you can remain in the comfort of your own home, whilst we our professional solicitors deal with your case for you.

Our skilled solicitors are well able to cope with this. True, liability is not always admitted straight away, but often on receipt of the evidence the defendants back down and admit that they are responsible.

At Harris Fowler we act on your behalf, we will always let you know what’s going on with your case and we will consult you at every stage of the process to make sure you’re happy with our work.
