You have a right to claim personal injury compensation and in most cases the people or organisations responsible for your injury will have insurance cover specifically for this purpose. If you have suffered an injury in an accident at work or in a road traffic accident, the person or organisation that caused your injury should have in place compulsory insurance specifically to deal with your claim. If you do not claim then you may lose out financially, for example through loss of earnings, medication expenses, travel costs etc.
In any claim for compensation, it must be shown that you have actually suffered an injury, that the injury was caused by the action of another party and that the other party was at least partly responsible. Evidence must be provided to support your claim, including witness statements and medical reports. The circumstances of each case are different, so it important to get expert advice from a specialist solicitor before making a claim.
To make a claim for personal injury compensation, you will need to undergo medical examinations to determine the prognosis for your injury. This includes identifying any treatment needs and care requirements. It is possible in some cases that you may be able to obtain rehabilitation and treatment costs from third party insurance companies even when liability is in dispute. Our team of specialist solicitors at Harris Fowler will be able to help you with all the details of your claim.
