The first step is for us to discuss with you the circumstances of your accident, who or what caused it, details of the injuries you suffered and any financial losses you have incurred as a result of the accident. Once we have the necessary information we then write to the party responsible and their insurers to notify them of your case against them. At this stage we aim to establish that the other party was at fault for your accident.

We will cover the costs of your personal injury case through a no win, no fee agreement.

We will arrange an examination by a skilled medical expert on a date and time which is convenient for you. The expert will provide us with a report on the injury you have suffered and we can use the report to advise you on the likely value of your compensation claim.

Any other losses you have incurred as a result of the accident will have to be documented. You will need to keep receipts or invoices where possible and, for example, if you have been off work and lost earnings, we will ask your employer for confirmation of your loss.

When we have the medical evidence and you are happy with the content of the medical report and that we have correctly calculated all your losses, we send these documents to the other party's insurers asking that them to put forward an offer to settle your claim. We will, of course, advise you as to how much compensation you are likely to receive and we will negotiate a settlement on your behalf, subject to your agreement.

If we cannot reach agreement with the insurers, because the offer of damages is too low, we will issue court proceedings on your behalf so that a judge can decide the correct award. After judgement or settlement, we can expect to receive a cheque within about 4 weeks. At this stage our independent financial advice team can advise you about the investment of your compensation and, if you are in receipt of state benefits, we can also advise you how to preserve your compensation payment and your benefits via a special form of trust.
